4 of the last 11 winners were ridden by a claiming apprentice
Gulliver (16/1) won the race in 2019
Major Jumbo (12/1) won the race in 2018
Teruntum Star (10/1) won the race in 2017
The average winning SP in the last 10 runnings is 12/1TQ VERDICT: Gulliver was a nice winner of this race last year but has lost his way a bit this season and is still 2lbs higher than 12 months ago – he can’t be totally ruled out but recent runs suggest he needs to bounce back. Came From The Light and CD winner Roulston Star are both recent winners that will have their supporters. The last two winners of the race came from stall 5, so Staxton will be hoping to add to that, but after a couple of good wins earlier in the season looks a bit high in the handicap for me. Aplomb, Tranchee and Greenside are others that have been running well of late so have to be noted, but with the Kevin Ryan yard having won 2 of the last 3 renewals their runners are interesting – Hey Jonesy, MAGICAL SPIRIT (e/w) and BIELSA (e/w), with preference for the last two. Magical Spirit was a winner at Ayr last time out and despite a big-looking 10lb hike for that, he did it well (3 ½ lengths) and could well cope with the rise in the ratings. Bielsa, who is drawn 18, was only beaten 3 lengths in the Ayr Gold Cup last time out and a further 2lb drop in the handicap means he’s starting to look very dangerous – considering he was rated 101 in the summer and is now off a mark of 97. Softer ground is also fine and there is no reason why this track won’t suit on his first outing here. The final one to get a mention is SOLIDER’S MINUTE (e/w), who also ran well in the Ayr Gold Cup (4th). This Keith Dalgleish runner is only a pound higher, but is a proven CD winner at the track and draw 15 will give jockey, Callum Rodriguez options.
