Verdict
No Complaint catches the eye with Algenon and Another Gale both worth noting. The selection has Tony McCoy booked to ride which looks positive and with the fact that he ran a blinder to finish second to Alderman Rose over course and distance last time out suggests the horse has a real chance of landing this. Algenon receives weight which will play into his hands. His run behind Midnight Classic at Perth was a fair effort and he looks an improving type so is one to note in the market. As is Another Gale who although winless after fourteen starts he has never been beaten all that far so has to be respected. But for the winner we return to No Complaint.
