SNAPPING TURTLE won a higher grade handicap over track and trip last time. Upped only 3lb, he should make another bold bid in this company. Simmply Sam should finish closer for a recent reappearance though remains 9lb higher than when scoring at Newcastle back in April but Agent Louise has failed to complete since landing a double at Sedgefield earlier this year. Miss Barbossa continues to slide down the weights without getting any closer and the rest are even harder to fancy in their current form.
