Verdict
PINCH OF GINGER has been tackling much further since dead-heating over this trip at Bangor and can concede the weight in a moderate handicap. Asking Questions is inconsistent and still a maiden and makes his debut over the bigger obstacles while Mr Witmore ran very poorly when attracting support at Sedgefield. Mcginty's Dream has shown his best form over further while Under The Red Sky is 0-28 over fences.
