Jack Hyde
9/2
3rd
Bold Light
10/1
THE DOG THIEF looks to start life in handicaps on an attractive mark so is fancied to follow up his Market Rasen victory at the chief expense of Ludlow scorer Jack Hyde who should find this return to further a positive. Stablemates Bold Light and Serious Operator appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

About The Selections

Dave Nevison

The Dog Thief Winning pointer beat two next time out winners on just his second start under rules after finishing runner-up to a potential Closutton superstar. This mark underestimates him.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: The Dog Thief might not get things all its own way near the head of affairs but shouldn’t be held back by that alone: The forecast decent pace still isn’t likely to sway the advantage towards those usually ridden further back such as is Go Dante.
Individual Price Hint: Bold Light has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
