First run since leaving George Boughey (for only 1,500 gns) when winning 6-runner handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 7 days ago. Much respected under a 5-lb penalty.

4/1

Gained reward for a string of placed efforts when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D 18 days ago by ¾ length from Mr Stanley. Had the benefit of a good position but a 2 lb rise still may not prevent the follow up, especially with good-value claimer back in the saddle.

28/1

C&D scorer who resumed winning ways in 12-runner minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) 17 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina in well-run race. Should be suited by the return to 1m on that evidence.

Forecasts

Disclosure (3/1), Billy McGarry (4/1), Jack Daniel (9/2), Mickey Mongoose (11/2), Heretic (9/1), Angelica K (12/1), Royal Jet (12/1), Timebar (14/1), Mr Stanley (25/1), Just Rita (25/1), Copper Mountain (28/1), Barney's Bay (33/1), Beautiful Dawn (40/1), Twistaline (40/1)

BILLY MCGARRY was well placed when gaining reward for a string of placed efforts over C&D 18 days ago, but a mere 2 lb rise in the weights looks manageable and he's taken to follow up reunited with a good-value claimer. Disclosure and Mickey Mongoose head the opposition.
