Racing Post verdict
Third-partyTommy McJohn heads our figures and was unlucky in running at Southwell last time, where the race was made up front and he was unable to get into the contest from off the pace. He is effective at five to six furlongs on the all-weather and a sound surface. Little Beck Annie is the most interesting danger, having taken a recent Carlisle win in first-time cheekpieces — those are on again and she is lightly raced in sprint handicaps. Tickets, back at a venue where he goes well and dropped to an attractive mark, is also expected to run his race. Tommy McJohn is our selection.
