As claimers go this looks quite competitive and most have some sort of chance. John Quinn's pair, Abidhabidubai and Violent Velocity, win their fair share of races and both have an apprentice on board today to partly negate their big weight. The latter was second in a stronger race here last month and looks a better bet than his stablemate while Richard Fahey's Sunnyside Tom looks to have decent claims at the weights and Muftarres won a handicap at Thirsk on his latest start. It's more than a year since MOHEEBB was in the winner's enclosure but he was taking on better opposition earlier this season and ran well behind Kay Gee Be at Carlisle recently when the soft ground wouldn't have suited. He could be the one today.
