The progressive POCKET THE PROFIT completed a four-timer with a cosy success at Yarmouth earlier in the week. He carries a huge penalty but today’s opposition fails to inspire confidence and George Boughey’s charge can go in again. Brazen Akoya finished a long way behind the selection at Wolverhampton but Bondi Girl has placed the last twice, though failed to threaten the winner on either occasion. Dalglish is steadily improving and may prove best of those handicapping for the first time.
