Verdict
This nursery looks quite competitive for a Class 6 but neither of the Tim Easterby pair, Mehdinah and Bungley, have been improving. TINKERSTAR didn’t get the clearest of runs when third at Hamilton two weeks ago and there is no reason why he won’t confirm that running with Hot Diggity Dog. Shamlaan may be on an upward curve and is preferred to Jusumi and Offering of the others.
