Becky Smith rode last year’s winner for Majorie Fife and B FIFTY TWO has every chance in this. He was placed at York last time having tumbled 20lb down the weights this year. Mininggold is upped 5lb for winning at Pontefract but Maureb can effectively race off a lower mark than when scoring over track and trip last month with an amateur’s allowance taken into account. Several of these were placed on their latest starts with Buccaneers Vault, Kenny The Captain and Ticks The Boxes others to consider.
