Verdict

Buy Me Out is consistent but looks in the grip of the handicapper at the moment, and although Dynamo has some good form in novice events, he seems to have lost his way over hurdles. The same could be said of Mr Kite who was pulled up at Uttoxeter on his last appearance, and Amber Spyglass looks only moderate, so it could be worth taking a chance on GINJO. He had shown some promise in a couple of runs since the start of the season and finally got off the mark over course and distance last week.
