Billy Lee Swagger
Gained third win over timber when bolting up in 22.5f handicap at Ballinrobe (good) two weeks ago; rider's claim negates most of 9lb rise for that 8l win; ground versatile and should go well again.

From the connections
“Billy Lee Swagger gurgled all the way up the straight. I probably had the wrong bit in his mouth as he'd never done it before. I was really happy with him and he was working really well. The day he was fourth in the maiden hurdle at Gowran was a good run and I thought he'd go on the ground here - Philip Rothwell, trainer.”
