CRAFTER (11.30, nap) is set to give his challengers a hard time in the Free Bets With BetUK Bet Club Handicap at Lingfield Park this Sunday. The Mark Loughnane-trained six-year-old scored over course and distance under today’s pilot Mason Paetel last time out, making apologies for his narrow defeat here the previous time, and a 3lb weight increase may not be enough to prevent a repeat in the day’s first event. Midway through the nine-race schedule, wax poetic by supporting POETIC JACK (1.30, nb) in the BetUK: It’s Where the UK Bets Handicap (Div One).
The four-year-old, trained by Robert Cowell, won the course and distance at the beginning of December. He struggled and finished eighth at Chelmsford on Thursday, but connections believe he can make amends just three days later.
