Sleep Easy ran well at Newton Abbot last month and is only 2lb higher than when last successful. Django Django is slipping slowly down the weights and Sir Mangan isn’t badly treated while Shoal Bay makes his handicap debut having been highly tried after winning at Taunton last season. Vive Le Roi made all here last month but that was only a seller and he’s been raised 9lb. WHO’S MY JOCKEY won a couple of novice events last term and was fourth off this mark on his handicap debut at Aintree in May. He still has time on his side and should have even more to offer this term.
