10/3
4/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at this course (8f) 12 days ago, very much having run of race. More needed to complete hat-trick but may get an uncontested lead again.

Forecasts

Barnaby (9/4), William Dewhirst (3/1), Longhaired General (10/3), Flying Fletcher (4/1), King's School (11/1), Danielsflyer (33/1)

Verdict

BARNABY is thriving on racing and had a few of these behind when finding a bit more improvement to notch his sixth C&D success 2 weeks ago. He looks sure to make another bold bid and is preferred to hat-trick seeking Longhaired General, who may get an uncontested lead again.
