Cubby Construction Handicap (Div 2)
7f 173y
Going: Good (Good to Firm in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneCaptain Corelli was a good winner over 1m at Pontefract last time and has been raised 5lb for that one-and-three-quarter-length success, which may be workable. Dogged was in second on that day and connections of the five-year-old will be confident of reversing that form off these much better terms. However, the selection is the consistent TEMPER TRAP, who was also engaged to run at Leicester on Thursday. Tim Easterby's charge was denied a hat-trick last week when second over the extended mile at Beverley and the step back to 1m appears likely to be the perfect tonic.
