The first division of low-grade sprint handicap and a few of these have met before. Sir Geoffrey is probably better over 5f but with his yard and in good form he’s hard to leave out of the equation here especially if he gets a relatively soft lead. Exotic Guest looks likely to come on for his reappearance and he’s won off a higher mark in the past as has Mercers Row. NUALA TAGULA doesn’t look to have much in hand from this mark but should run her race and in a field lacking any progressive types may be able to follow up her Hamilton win over this longer trip.
