Led to 3 out, soon pushed along, regained lead between last 2, ridden and headed narrowly approaching last, kept on and every chance flat, just held tchd 22/1
Mr Mafia (2/1), Second Time Around (3/1), Lillian (5/1), Forthefunofit (6/1), Kentford Heiress (9/1), Bright Tomorrow (12/1), The Drone (20/1)
Mr Maffia is in the form of his life having won his last four and is very much respected despite his hike in the weights. Kentford Heiress has strong claims of turning the form around with that rival on these better terms and should be in the mix. Preference is for SECOND TIME AROUND who has improved steadily over hurdles and shapes like this trip will really suit.
