Suitcase 'n' Taxi has already won twice this year and Robert Dodsworth takes off a handy 7lb. At the oppose end of the handicap, Jessie Allan could go well back over her winning trip. Extrasolar, SPIRIT OF WEDZA and Point Of Woods were all involved in a close finish at Catterick last month. The former came out on top but Julie Camacho’s gelding comes out best at the weights today and gets the nod. Dirchill is still 4lb higher than when winning at Ayr in July while Mr Strutter has done all of his winning in lesser company so far. Rantan would have every chance on his third at Ripon last month but never got competitive at Thirsk subsequently.
