Temper Trap was entered in the 5.45 Leicester last night and has had a busy time of it lately but Tim Easterby also runs Perfect Swiss, who placed twice off higher marks earlier in the summer. DOGGED has a poor strike-rate but is very closely matched with Captain Corelli on Pontefract running and it would be no surprise to see him pop up in one of these before the end of the campaign. Lilikoi can’t be ignored on recent form but the maiden Celestial Star disappointed at Musselburgh last month.
