Verdict
THE GEORDIE GINGE has plenty to live up to given the careers of previous runners in these colours but this is a weak race that is very much there for the taking. Ar El Bee did achieve a rating in the mid 70's on the Flat for David Menusier so its not impossible that Harry Derham can find some improvement from him today. Buck Of Maine retreats to maidens having made no show in novice company while Emily's Star is related to winning hurdlers and connections have certainly proved cautious with their mare having withdrawn her from a couple of engagements over recent weeks.
