Mrs Burbidge has been raised 3lb for finishing second at Wolverhampton to Ali Bin Nayef and the latter has been beaten since. HOLD HANDS has yet to win but has slid 12lb down the weights since her handicap debut in June. She was placed over today’s trip at Wolverhampton recently and Brendan Powell’s mare gets the vote. Hangman Jury may improve now handicapping for the first time while Sexy Secret was runner-up at Yarmouth last month and has won on the all-weather before.
