OVERVIEW: HOPPY (7) is flying this campaign for Team Craven, with a cracking first-up run in free-for-all grade followed by a barnstorming victory last weekend at Melton. He came from three fence there and rounded up his rivals with ease, drawing clear to win softly by 6.5m on the line. He has an awkward barrier here and will probably end up towards the back of the field, but has a great turn of foot and should be rattling late. VYTIS (9) looks the other key winning hope, and like HOPPY (7), has had the two runs back this campaign. He was parked and battled away bravely for third first-up before working to the lead and beating MITCHELL WRAP (4) and MUSKEE (11) at Melton on June 20. He’s classy and looks to be drawn for a nice trip. WITH APLOMB (1) is flying for Steve Cleave with five wins from her last seven starts but this is a step-up in grade, while MUSKEE (11) is a handy trotter who would need some luck to win but is a must for wider exotics.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: HOPPY (7) is flying this campaign for Team Craven, with a cracking first-up run in free-for-all grade followed by a barnstorming victory last weekend at Melton. He came from three fence there and rounded up his rivals with ease, drawing clear to win softly by 6.5m on the line. He has an awkward barrier here and will probably end up towards the back of the field, but has a great turn of foot and should be rattling late. VYTIS (9) looks the other key winning hope, and like HOPPY (7), has had the two runs back this campaign. He was parked and battled away bravely for third first-up before working to the lead and beating MITCHELL WRAP (4) and MUSKEE (11) at Melton on June 20. He’s classy and looks to be drawn for a nice trip. WITH APLOMB (1) is flying for Steve Cleave with five wins from her last seven starts but this is a step-up in grade, while MUSKEE (11) is a handy trotter who would need some luck to win but is a must for wider exotics.

OVERVIEW: HOPPY (7) is flying this campaign for Team Craven, with a cracking first-up run in free-for-all grade followed by a barnstorming victory last weekend at Melton. He came from three fence there and rounded up his rivals with ease, drawing clear to win softly by 6.5m on the line. He has an awkward barrier here and will probably end up towards the back of the field, but has a great turn of foot and should be rattling late. VYTIS (9) looks the other key winning hope, and like HOPPY (7), has had the two runs back this campaign. He was parked and battled away bravely for third first-up before working to the lead and beating MITCHELL WRAP (4) and MUSKEE (11) at Melton on June 20. He’s classy and looks to be drawn for a nice trip. WITH APLOMB (1) is flying for Steve Cleave with five wins from her last seven starts but this is a step-up in grade, while MUSKEE (11) is a handy trotter who would need some luck to win but is a must for wider exotics.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: HOPPY (7) is flying this campaign for Team Craven, with a cracking first-up run in free-for-all grade followed by a barnstorming victory last weekend at Melton. He came from three fence there and rounded up his rivals with ease, drawing clear to win softly by 6.5m on the line. He has an awkward barrier here and will probably end up towards the back of the field, but has a great turn of foot and should be rattling late. VYTIS (9) looks the other key winning hope, and like HOPPY (7), has had the two runs back this campaign. He was parked and battled away bravely for third first-up before working to the lead and beating MITCHELL WRAP (4) and MUSKEE (11) at Melton on June 20. He’s classy and looks to be drawn for a nice trip. WITH APLOMB (1) is flying for Steve Cleave with five wins from her last seven starts but this is a step-up in grade, while MUSKEE (11) is a handy trotter who would need some luck to win but is a must for wider exotics.
