In depth
Verdict
A competitive field goes to post for this sprint handicap with many in form rivals in opposition including Blessingindisguise, Tuscan FlyerThe Old Solider and Loch Inch and we will take a chance on Blessingindisguise. The ten year old was just run out of it close home last time out when second behind Viewforth at Beverley. This sharper track is sure to suit more and with conditions in his favour he will not be far away. Loch Inch rates the main danger he has won his last two races in good style. However he will find this much tougher under another penalty so for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. The Old Solider could also go well. He was well behind Brecongill Lad last time out . However this sharper track will suit him more and he is taken to gain his revenge on that rival.b Tuscan Flyer is also worthy of consideration he won well last time out when defeating Xanadu but this looks much more competitive. Of the remainder Shirley Not has dropped to a handy mark and is worth a noting in the market but we are happy to stick with Blessingindisguise.
