Last week's unpenalised 7f apprentices handicap winner
Lotara will be rightly popular amongst punters in a poor heat, and she's expected to be produced late by Phil Dennis, but not quite as late as the swashbuckling veteran
Captain Scooby who lines up for the 203rd time. However, if ever a horse deserves to win a race it is the admirable mare
JESSIE ALLAN. Put simply and politely, this will only ever be her level, as she's not very good, but she tries plenty more than some horses with twice as much ability and that's an admirable trait to have in the armoury. She has kept good recent form at this track, and there's nothing anywhere near as strong as Breathoffreshair (6f) or Chaucer's Tale (7f) in the line up tonight, and this represents her big opportunity for her maiden success.
