The fact that Rioja Day can be given a good chance to follow up his C&D win here 26 days ago shows how weak this handicap is. He’s once again due to be ridden by the good young conditional Danny McMenamin and runs from his correct mark this time on ground that should suit. SPIN THE COIN may just have a little more to offer having shown that he had a future in handicaps when falling at the last on his debut in this sphere with the race at his mercy. He looked to need his first run back and has now had wind op (tongue-tie also added), he’s taken to enhance his trainers 19% record with his hurdlers here. Thepensionfund and Smart Ruler are two others to note.
