7 year old Mare Sired by Passing Glance has been dropping down the weights although carrying 11-11 today. I think the drop back down to class 4 will help with the lower handicap mark. Won off 11-11 under this jockey back in May 22 of a mark of 127 so todays handicap off 113 should be much more comfortable.

Backed this one last year but didn't get a run as unseated 1st fence. Normally a sound jumper so can forgive that glitch.. One of several Gordon Elliott entries and I find it interesting that this 10 year old gelding is 1 stone 10lb better off with last years winner . Going each way as six placed yet fewer runners than usual. If he jumps round will be surprised if he doesn't finish in the 6 . Making him my nap today.
