Verdict
Ray Donovan is penalised for his recent win at Musselburgh and ALTIKO TOMMY can take advantage. The latter was beaten only a nose at Lingfield on last week’s handicap debut and George Baker’s charge is also preferred to Amy Gardner, who has been placed in plating races recently. Alligator may improve now handicapping for the first time but needs to if he’s to get involved and the rest are even harder to fancy.
