Nonrunner
THAT'LL DO NICELY is the nomination with Karky Schultz and Ferney Boy as the dangers. Nicky Richards does not have too many runners on the level but this horse is proven on the going and with the handicapper dropping him to just 58, he is attractively handicapped at present. Karky Schultz is not without quirks though he seems to be consenting to put his best foot forward under both codes. Ferney Boy makes a first foray into handicaps. The booking of Kieren Fallon looks a major plus point. Casino Night has shown his better form on a softer surface though there has been rain in the area of late. Solis steps up in trip although he has been kept busy under National Hunt rules of late. Park's Prodigy has modest form of late though has run well at Catterick previously so could represent each-way opportunities against the likely market leaders. That'll Do Nicely will do for us.
