Mike Sowersby had a couple of winners last week and TREGARO could be the pick of his three runners in a very trappy affair. The seven-year-old has been disappointing this season but he did win back-to-back races at Sedgefield last term. Junior Jack has been tubed so racecourse visits have been somewhat limited. He won a seller for Martin Keighley over hurdles at Ludlow and could be asked to make the running. Farmer Frank has been campaigned in point-to-points of late and is off a 13lb lower mark than when he last appeared in a handicap under Rules. Ginger's Lad has gone well at Southwell previously while Richo can be troublesome at the start and he has been freshened up with an away day on the Flat at Brighton.
