In depth
Verdict
Fergal O’Brien doesn’t have many runners here so Icanmotor is worth a market check on her return from a break. Mitcd shouldn’t be far away but Miss Joeking seems to run her best races at Hexham. Nicki's Nipper has been knocking on the door again lately and was only beaten a length off this mark over course and distance nine days ago. SQUEEZE ME appears to be coming back to form and is back on a winning mark. She has her ground today so should be in the firing-line.
