GEORGINA JOY (NAP) never looked like being caught at Hereford 10 days ago. As that was a conditionals’ race, she escapes a penalty and, with Tom Buckley again taking off 10lb, Nigel Hawke’s mare is difficult to oppose here. Love The Leader was more like his old self at Fontwell last week but has to shoulder an extra 7lb. Tactical Manoeuvre may need this but Avocadeau is relatively unexposed and Ruby Fool may also have each-way claims.
