Keen, held up last, not fluent 3rd, headway chasing leaders before 2 out, ridden between last 2, went 2nd run-in, stayed on strongly to lead near finish op 11/10
Tracked leader until jumped badly right and rider lost iron briefly 1st, lost place and in last pair, brief rally on outside bypassing omitted 3 out, weakened before next op 40/1
High Expectations (5/4), Apterix (5/2), Parthenius (5/1), Mixboy (11/2), Beeno (6/1), Baby Jake (20/1), Magna Cartor (50/1)
A couple of these seem to be in the grip of the handicapper at present. Mixboy has sound claims reverting to hurdles off a lower mark than he faces over fences and goes well under all conditions. APTERIX took advantage of his lower hurdles mark over C&D last week and should be capable of following up here under a nice racing weight.
