Smoking Pigeon would have a cracking chance if turning up but was engaged in the 4.50 Wincanton yesterday. In his possible absence, the vote goes to MONEY SPINNER as last month’s third at Bangor is decent form in context. Investment Manager blotted his copybook last time at Chepstow but was in good form in the autumn while Rideau Canal has improved with every run and starts off in handicaps on a decent mark.
