The Organiser³^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 70| CD

8/13

Fair ex-Irish winner who capitalised on a reduced mark for his new yard in 9-runner handicap over C&D 3 days ago. Saddles a 5 lb penalty but remains handily weighted on past exploits. Big shout.

12/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Below-par third of 5 in handicap (7/4) at this C&D 14 days ago so needs to bounce back.

66/1

14/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving George Scott when last of 5 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

Forecasts

The Organiser (8/13), King Of York (11/2), Billy McGarry (17/2), Serenity Dream (10/1), Soames Forsyte (12/1), Emily Post (12/1), Thanks Dad (20/1), Blufferonthebus (40/1), Embarked (50/1), Guy Fawkes (66/1), Woodleigh (100/1)

THE ORGANISER made the perfect start for Ed Bethell when going in over C&D only three days ago and can make light of a 5 lb penalty. Fellow C&D scorer King of York appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Emily Post, Billy McGarry and Thanks Dad.
