LITTLE JO wasn’t seen to best effect at Pontefract last time and gets the nod in a race which may not take a great deal of winning. King Carney and Like A Lion are next best.

CONCORDE reiterated that he’s way ahead of the handicapper when storming clear at Pontefract 10 days ago and he should have no trouble going in again. Maid In London is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs his lines and Inspirited isn’t completely dismissed having signed off the last campaign with an improved effort to score at Brighton.
