15/2

Dual winner for Andrew Balding. Creditable seventh of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good, 20/1) 9 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Drop to 5f may not be ideal.

Forecasts

Jon Riggens (7/4), Moss Tucker (4/1), Red Wasp (4/1), Bonnyrigg (15/2), Iva Batt (8/1), Linda Barrett (9/1), Shelly Banks (10/1), Queens Carriage (12/1), Missemma (12/1), Colfer Kay (16/1)

It wasn't a strong maiden RED WASP won at Down Royal early last month but her turn of foot to put the race to bed was impressive and, given she has a bit about her physically, she may well have more to offer now her sights are set on handicaps. Jon Riggens, eased in grade/back down in trip. is another to consider, along with Moss Tucker
