NORMAN FLETCHER has been knocking on the door from a much reduced mark in recent weeks, and he may well record a long overdue second handicap success. Crooked Path and East India Express are feared most among the home brigade, with Sunny South West the pick of the Irish trio.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and Handlethekettle is one who could suffer as a result: A proliferation of possible pace-forcers could set things up for those coming from further back: Sunny South West is one who may benefit.
Individual Price Hint: John Barbour traded at more than 10 times Betfair SP and 5 times Betfair SP when winning on 2 of its last 5 starts: Norman Fletcher traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP twice and 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on 4 of its last 5 starts.
