NonRunner
No obvious strength in depth, and not a great deal to suggest that too many of these runners are likely to take giant strides forward now stepping up into nursery handicaps. Therefore, with slight reservations about this trip, the dual selling winner Placebo Effect has to make the shortlist, along with Burnieboozle , who would ideally be suited by rain. However, a speculative nod goes in the direction of the Richard Fahey trained MOUNTAIN APPROACH who will feasibly seek to get loose off the front end, and the application of first time blinkers might be enough to help Paul Hanagan keep this colt going forward for just long enough.
