Bo McGinty has dropped down to a lenient mark and can regain the winning thread this afternoon, Geogimali and Kay Two may provide most danger. Richard Fahey's five-year-old has contested some top sprint handicaps this season and hasn't been beaten far. His last victory came in July off a mark of 79 and so he does now look well treated. The ground could be a concern but if the rain stays away he looks the one to be on. Geojimali returned to winning ways in the Ayr Silver Cup last month and has to be respected despite a rise in the weights. Kay Two was also successful last time out, battling on well to win a York handicap.That was an improved effort and there could be more to come. Sir Nod also won nicely enough last time and runs off a nice racing weight. All in all a tough contest to assess, but if the ground dries out Bo McGinty should be the pick of the weights.
