KANGRINA is a speculative selection to win this handicap for the George Baker yard. Lapina and Berry Hill Lass are others based on recent form look most likely to trouble the selection. Kangrina has been the subject of strong support on a number of occasions. Third last time at Southwell in claiming company behind higher rated rivals, a handicap should come her way sooner rather than later but her supporters will be running out of patience. Berry Hill Lass ran well last time considering she was prominent for most of the journey run at a brisk pace. She lacks any turn of foot but plugs on and at this level that suffices at least to obtain a place. Itsy Bitsy stayed on well when apprentice ridden at Kempton last time. Chris Catlin is a notable booking aboard the bottom weight but Kangrina gets the vote.
