Jim Bobs Girl looks the form pick while Wee William and Present Gale are both worth a look at in the betting market. The selection had been knocking on the door all summer below it finally swung open at Newton Abbott last time out. He has been raised eight pounds for that success but with the trainer in such fine form of late he can win again. Wee William gets a twelve pound hike in the weights after winning at Market Rasen last time out. That was his first success for over two years and had slipped to a realistic mark. That said with the rise in the weights he would now have to throw in a personal best effort if he is follow up. Present Gale is relatively unexposed with only five starts to date. He ran with credit behind the selection last time out and although he is more favourably treated this time around it looks unlikely that he can reverse the placings. So for the winner we return to Jim Bobs Girl.
