RELIABLE RICKI did well to follow up his Wolverhampton maiden victory on his handicap bow at Doncaster recently when overcoming a steady pace and George Scott's improver looks weighted to go in again here. Mick Appleby's Moscow Power also looks to have better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can be made for several others in this cracking handicap, notably The Resdev Scholar and Sporting Light.
