A hard race to sort out and No Complaint is given as the tentative selection with Maronnier and Migigi. The selection has kept largely to races on much softer surfaces than this but he has shaped with a fair degree of enthusiasm in the past and in fairness, this is not the strongest of races. Marronnier was perhaps flattered to finish so close to the winner at Taunton. That said, it was an improved effort and it remains so given today's opposition. Comments that equally apply to Migigi, who gets in here off a low BHB figure. Brave Jo may have been a bit lucky to oblige at Exeter on New Year's Day and was easy to back on an unsuccessful foray since. Kalamazoo drops in grade having taken on better opposition while any money for Schindler's List would be interesting on reappearance. Of the remainder, Buy Onling is from a good family although he appears to have problems with recurrent lameness. A tough getting out stakes and No Complaint is recommended to minimum stakes.
