Verdict
Captain Ginger ran a highly creditable race in defeat on his nursery debut when fifth of 17 in a competitive heat at Doncaster last week and is now 2lb lower so gets the TEAMtalk vote. The hard pulling Dancing Burren failed to last home over a mile last time and may improve a little for this drop in trip while it would be unwise to dismiss the well connected Nijmah on her handicap bow nut Paradise Valley is more exposed and his overall form falls short of what is required at this level.
