A hat trick bid here with plenty to like. The last two wins were in a classified race at Brighton, which is a track with many of the same characteristics as Leicester, and in a 0-55 handicap. Today we are back in a 0-55 but against just fellow 3YOs and well drawn to make all under Joe Leavy, who is 2 from 2 on him. The favourite is up 6 lbs from their last win and too short at 5/4.

Henry does well here, and this horse is 4 lbs better off than in this race last year, thanks to the jockey's claim. The jockey is a worry with one win from just 20 rides, but all other form and indicators give them a good chance today.

I don't have a lot of success with Sean Levey, but Stuart Williams has been a source of success here for a long time. There is little else to look at in this race. Looking for this one to rattle the lids and be away quickly and gone here. She didn't get home at Leicester last time out but should do here.

The favourite fell last time out when clear in a poor race and has generally amassed their form in races with little coming out of them. In the same vein, the selection has won twice over hurdles and a point, and the form from those wins is stronger. Henry does well here and over this trip in this discipline. The horse likes this ground and won their only race under Darragh. Happy to take the favourite on, therefore.

A winner from 2 of their 5 runs here and comfortable on quicker ground, this lad should improve on a quiet seasonal return last time out. No jockey is tougher in the finish than Billy Lee, and he will need all his pushing and the breaks coming from the rear. I will be taking an insurance bet to mitigate problems in running.

Aidan's runner is too short. I can't back Joe Fanning, and I think Shane Foley has picked the wrong one of Harrington's runners as his choice is up 8 lb from a win where they were all out. Iron Fist makes their handicap debut, having shown his best form on good ground here and having finished strongly over 10 furlongs last time out, so will definitely be coming late. In that last run, a 92-rated horse was 3 lengths behind him, and with this useful claimer's allowance, he is practically carrying bottom weight.
