BEN Naps leaders Handicap Four will be keeping everything crossed when the Anthony Axford sponsored competition goes into the final weekend.
With £500 up for grabs to the winners the pacesetters will be praying that none of their rivals repeat this week's feat of Ben's Top Tips who plucked out 33-1 choice Soller Bay, the winner of the big race at Newmarket.
Handicap Four captain John Cunniffe said: "It will be a nerve-wracking weekend and we certainly don't want anyone coming in with another 33-1.
"But we are in the driving seat and it will take at least a 14-1 winner to overtake us.
"We will make our final decision on Saturday. We may play it cautious but it will depend on what we see. There might be a decent outside chance. We chose Mr Toffee Nose who came in at 25-1 but it had a bit of form. We will keep our fingers crossed that we can hold on.
"There are four in our team and we usually select a horse in turn, but this week will be a team selection. It is too much to put the onus on one man's shoulders."
It was a thin week for the rest of the teams with only nine picking winners, but that is not surprising as teams looked for the 'big one'.
