FormscanBy Michael Graham - FLIER stayed on well to land a course and distance apprentice handicap last month and effectively races off just 1lb higher as Patrick McGettigan is able to utilise his full 7lb claim in this contest. Skib Gold belied his 80/1 odds when winning comfortably in the second division of that aforementioned apprentice handicap, so his chance has to be respected. Slaney Swagger showed more in third behind Flier and Chris Hayes comes in for the ride. Chou Chou was the horse between Flier and Slaney Swagger, so is another looking to be involved at the business end. Thegooseiscooked is consistent but is creeping up the handicap without winning, while Venetian is capable, however, his current form is in and out.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 0-60Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
