Stolen Hours is the pick over Wild Pitch, with In Good Faith and Wait For The Will in this Jump Jockeys Derby Handicap. Jamie Spencer has of course got himself a National-Hunt license and teams up with Stolen Hours who bids to follow up his very easy win over the course and distance seven days ago. Although going steadily back up the weights, he always goes well here, and a similar effort will make him very hard to beat. Eddie Ahern rides Wild Pitch whom Spencer rode to victory at Lingfield last time. He probably has more on his plate now, while Mick Fitzgerald has no easy task on In Good Faith who has shown little over hurdles since joining Nicky Henderson. Wait For The Will gained his last success 12 months ago at Newmarket but is coming down the weights and should give Philip Hide a good ride, but Stolen Hours has lots going for him and is a confident selection.
