Race preview
This looks like a tricky puzzle to solve, so only a tentative vote goes to TRY THE MONEY. Henry Oliver's gelding has had excuses on two of his career starts so far, losing a shoe on debut and the ground possibly being too quick last time. Although he hasn't shown a great deal, better is anticipated now he enters the handicap ranks. Amalfi Bay, who produced his best NH effort to finish second at Exeter on his latest outing, could also have a say on his handicap bow, along with Johannes.
