Has won here previously; displayed a fair level of form when just under 4l third over 6f at Vaal (handicap) 42 days ago, next-time-out winner Fully Loaded boosted the form since; has to be considered as might be able to capitalise on his reduced mark.

Hails from a good stable and seems to be improving based on last two runs; successful by 2½l five weeks ago in a stakes race; running in a handicap for only the second time; in with a shout as steep rise in the ratings looks justified and he can handle the step up in class.

Unbeaten over this C&D after two runs; good effort when close up at Vaal over 1m (apprentice handicap) in December; draw should be beneficial so should be on the premises.

Verdict
A tight one to call. Tintin could give the main tip a headache while. However, best of these might be RINGA RINGA ROSES. She is a C&D winner and can capitalise on a nice draw.
