Verdict
Another open affair in which many have chances Baby Gee, Stormy Beach, Hollows Mill and College City are all worth of consideration but we prefer to take a chance on Noshinnanikin. The gelding from the Mick Easterby yard has found a new lease of life since being fitted with a tounge strap and in the hope that he still has improvement to come we take him to score despite his sharp rise in the handicap. Baby Gee is another that could go well but his best efforts of late have come with more cut in the ground. Hollows Mill won a novice handicap in good style last time out but this is a much more competitive affair and he may struggle under his penalty. College was a slightly disappointing last time out when a well backed favourite. However this faster ground may bring out some improvement and he is still at the right end of the handicap. Of the remainder Call Me Jack is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market.
