It's difficult to find fault with Man of Leisure's recent form and he was wrapping up a quick-fire hat-trick when winning easily over 2m4f here 12 days ago. The handicapper has had his say since, however, and he now looks vulnerable over a shorter trip against a number of in-form rivals. Sea Lord is chasing a three-timer of his own after back-to-back wins at Southwell and Huntingdon while Maoi Chinn Tire beat Acapulco Bay at Uttoxeter last month, though there shouldn't be much between the pair on today's revised terms. Super Collider has won two handicaps and a claimer since the turn of the year but HIRED HAND is sure to strip fitter for his fourth at Fontwell and this Irish import may be ready to strike now.
