The potentially smart SHOLOKJACK put his chase-bow mishap firmly behind him when scoring at Lingfield with ridiculous ease and can follow up en route to even better things. Bill Baxter was rather unfortunate to come down when bidding for the hat-trick at Hereford and looks the clear threat, with Gaillimh A Stor best of the others.
