GINISTRELLI was far from convincing at Uttoxeter but got the job done and he can only improve for the experience. He probably doesn’t have much to beat here so can defy his penalty. The handicapper only just separates Lord Springfield and Some Boy Mccoy but Rubytwo is probably the form pick with her mares’ allowance. Chinese Alphabet was an 18-race maiden on the Flat but was placed several times and could make a jumper.
