ETIENNE GERARD is still improving judged on his recent win at Windsor and has little to beat in this. Nigel Tinkler's charge gets the nod with an apprentice's allowance negating a penalty. George Bailey won at Beverley last month but finished last on his latest outing while Wether Girl was placed at Doncaster only to finish tailed off in soft ground here last time. Farrah's Choice has made little impression in handicaps and the rest are even harder to recommend.
