Ian Semple's yard are back among the winners and it can pay to follow Dizzy In The Head here, with Namir, Kings College Boy and Ashes others shortlisted. The selection attempts to defy a 6lb penalty for a 6f win here last time out. However, that is perhaps not as onerous a task as it might be, given that he loves these conditions and this track, and as he was winning when the yard was in the doldrums there may still be more to come. Namir is another c&d scorer who took a Pontefract sprint on Monday night and is similarly penalised. However, he struggles to win off higher than his mark of 56 and and the extra 6lb should prove too much. Kings College Boy is 6lb better of with Namir on their Pontefract running and can turn the tables here, while Ashes is from an in form yard and is slipping in the weights, but may need a pound or teo more taking off his back before his next success and Dizzy In The Head is the one for us.
