This isn't much of a race and NO BIGGIE looks to be improving enough to land the spoils. He ran well enough when a close fourth at Gowran on Monday to suggest a mark of 49 will soon be left behind and looks another for his new handler. Ravens Hill wasn't far behind in that race having taken the lead 2f out and if ridden with a bit more restraint can provide the main threat. Tasty Ginger has yet to win but is usually thereabouts at this sort of level while Windsorlot has been showing signs of improvement and wasn't beaten far at Dundalk last time.
