Harry Haynes
Miss L Kendall
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 4f on good ground, but that win was over three years ago. Beaten 3 1/2l by Letterpress when second of 11 at 6-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race over this course and distance (good) earlier this month.
Jolly Roger readily won both starts at Uttoxeter last month and has a big chance of completing the hat-trick despite an 11lb rise in the ratings for his latest success, but LETTERPRESS gets the vote in receipt of 8lb. The King's Theatre gelding stepped up on a couple of respectable placed efforts when scoring comfortably over C&D on Saturday and, with that confidence booster under his belt, he could defy a 7lb penalty. David Pipe's only runner on the card, Qalinas, can't be ruled out.
