Stringybark Creek has already won five times this year including at Catterick on Saturday for which he’s penalised 6lb. THORNABY NASH has won three times since May, his latest coming on heavy ground at Carlisle. He’s only 3lb higher so looks set for another victory. Prancing Oscar’s recent Hamilton victory came on fast going and he hasn’t shown a similar level of form on ground with some give but Minovia’s only decent effort came on soft going so he could go well at a fair price.
