TYRANNOSAURUS REX has landed back to back handicaps and is taken to get his hat-trick at the expense of Mr Wolf and Impressible. The selection is well drawn and has course winning form to his name which is a big bonus around this tight track. He has shot up the weights for his victories but if he can run up to his recent form he will not be far away come the business end of the race. Mr Wolf is 5lbs higher since winning at Pontefract last time out. He can once again run well but he is not as well drawn as the selection which could prove to be his downfall. Impressible is ultra consistent winning twice already this season. He is rarely out of the first three and once again has place claims, however, Tyrannosaurus Rex has more ticks in his boxes compared to the majority of his rivals and is the percentage call.
