MR TREVOR gets the vote for a third Tapeta triumph by beating 12 rivals for the Spreadex Sports Best Premier League Odds Handicap (Div I) (1.20) at Southwell.
Ann Duffield’s son of Kodi Bear sank in heavy ground at Catterick when sent off the 3-1 favourite for a seven-furlong handicap at the beginning of last month.
But Mr Trevor is better judged on his all-weather form – he is 2-4 on Tapeta as opposed to an underwhelming 1-22 on turf.
The successes had come on his two previous outings, starting with a length-and-three-quarters margin from Crocodile Power at Newcastle in mid-August.
Making his first trip to Southwell 10 days later, my selection followed up under jockey William Pyle with a length-and-a-half beating of Thaayer over today’s course and distance.
Pyle keeps the mount and his 7lb claim will come in handy as Mr Trevor seeks to defy a 4lb rise for his most recent win.
Later at Southwell, SPIT SPOT can follow up a recent score at Chelmsford City by landing the Fallon’s Fancies Expert Tips By Bet UK Handicap (4.50).
Sir Percy’s daughter stepped up to a mile and three-quarters for a landmark first win at Chelmsford City last month and ha more to offer at the trip.
