A hotchpotch of a claimer and we like Hucking Heat against Rebellious Spirit and Personify. All attachments are used in order to glean victory but in fairness, a reproduction of a third to Ninth House, would entitle him to consideration at what are likely to be decent odds. Rebellious Spirit has every chance on the formbook although has ran abysmally of late. Personify showed fair form for Clive Cox and is dropped into this grade for the first time. Red Current doesn't win often but this is her grade. Katie Lawson is arguably the best of the rest although that isn't saying much. Winning doesn't come very easy to these and Hucking Heat is put forward in the hope that all the headgear can focus his mind upon the job in hand.
