Ruth Carr has really found the key to MOHEEBB and the Yorkshire-based trainer looks to have found an ideal opening for the five-year-old to land his three-timer. Demolition was three lengths adrift of the selection at Ripon 10 days ago but has a feasible chance of reversing the from on these terms, while Tufton and Jo'Burg are also in good heart just now and can make the frame today. Jo'Burg has made the most of an attractive handicap mark - winning twice and finishing second three times already this season. He is obviously thriving just now but needs to post a career best effort if he is going to land the spoils today. Similar comments apply to Tufton, who made the most of a drop in grade to win twice in claiming company last month. His record in handicaps is not so great and he also has a bit more to prove. Therefore, it might be down to Demolition to provide the sternest challenge to the selection. However, Moheebb is on a role just now and, even though the penalties are starting to mount up; the mount of Robert Winston is taken to strike again now that he has winning form at this sort of trip.
