The lowest grade handicap on the card and an unappealing one as an investment medium. Nine Elms has less convictions than most so despite topweight he’s considered if he can build on the promise he showed last time. Competition and Oceanus are both winning hurdlers who have some mileage at this level on the Flat while Ritchie Star has as good a chance as he’s ever had to break his maiden but does tend to find the crossbar rather than the back of the net. Therefore CORKED is the speculative recommendation returned to a more suitable trip after being sharpened up over 7f last time. Kiraleah with cheekpieces in first-time is worth noting for a market move.
