Join Up certainly wasn't winning out of turn three weeks ago and this honest sort should be on the premises once more but he doesn't convert as many chances as he perhaps ought to and is probably worth taking on at the likely prices. The suggestion is a former stablemate of Join Up, FEET OF FURY, who shaped encouragingly for her new connections at Kempton last month and may well be able to step up on that form at a track where she has plenty of form to her name. Just Jimmy is next on the short-list as he's back down to a winning mark and usually hits form at around this time of year whilst Lujano is another that has slipped to a decent mark and is worth watching for market support on his return from a break whilst Cyril The Squirrel has an obvious chance on the form of his penultimate start.
