PETITE GANACHE hasn’t raced since August but finished a close-up third at Perth when last in action. Nicky Richards’ charge has every chance of opening his account if running up to the same level here and is just preferred to Herecomesnelson. The latter has the more recent form with a placed effort over 2m4f here last month while Silk Or Scarlet went close at Perth in April last year and represents last year’s winning yard. Mah Mate Bob ran well for a long way at Hexham and Pinspot may improve now handicapping for the first time.
