GEOGRAPHY TEACHER posted his best effort so far over the minimum trip here last week when beaten less than a length and finishing in front of Kemmeridge Bay. Roger Fell’s charge should be bang there at the finish with a similar effort and is preferred to stablemate Rainbow Beach. Lincoln Red drops back down in distance after placing over 7f here with previous winner Fighting Spirit back in sixth and he could go well while Popping Corks has shown some improvement since switching to Linda Perratt and could also be in the mix.
