I'm In Charge bids for a hat-trick after back-to-back wins at Wincanton but this is a much stiffer track and he has a penalty to overcome. Bob Will usually finds at least one too good but Jolly Boys Outing could be interesting as he's thrown in on his old form and runs his best races here. Bill The Lad has the ability to figure if fully wound-up but King Ozzy and Tenby Jewel are easy to oppose. MONTY'S REVENGE will have needed his comeback run at Uttoxeter. He won off a 10lb higher mark around here a couple of years ago and this is probably still within his capabilities.
