Course winner can strike for in-form stable

No. 9
The Big Lad
3.55 Southwell
1pt win at 15-2 with bet365 and Betway

This five-year-old has a good strike-rate with five wins from 13 starts and looked good when following his victory over 5f at Lingfield with success over course and distance in January off a mark 2lb lower than today's.

Richard Hughes's gelding disappointed off this mark at Chelmsford last time, but got caught wide on that tight track and raced freely. It is probably worth putting a line through that run and giving him another chance now returned to Fibresand.
