Pitful Tercah has the ability to win this and he can see off Geography and Don't Ask Me. David Pipe's charge might have found the exertions of his Fontwell victory a little too much when putting up a no-show at Fakenham, but he remains a progressive type off a fair mark and we see no reason to be against him after a couple of weeks off. Geography has ran above himself to register three placings on his last three starts. The handicapper has also noticed. Don't Ask Me had demonstrated ability for David Pipe in low grade affairs. If Peter Bowen has got to the bottom of his problems, he has to be a player. Harry Collins has shown his better form on softer so has to be opposed. English Jim did manage to at least finish a race last time out and a cogent argument suggests that if he could put it all together today, he wouldn't be that far away. Debord is watched in the market on handicap introduction. Pitful Tercah should be too good for this motley bunch and he is the confident recommendation.
