In depth
Verdict
Tinkerstar has placed in both starts in handicaps having returned a beaten favourite at Musselburgh last time. Between The Sheets made her handicap debut in a much tougher race at Newmarket but Sagittarius was still well beaten when third at Sandown and steps up in trip. BATTLE OF THE NILE never threatened when fourth at Kempton but the winner has subsequently gone in again and a chance is taken he improves now handicapping for the first time. Gidwa is another worth a second glance debuting in a nursery today.
