Verdict
Another puzzling handicap where will just give the vote to Armentieres, with Icannshift and Mobo-Baco also set to run well. The selection hasn't been successful since last October but has put up some good efforts in defeat. The most recent was at Chepstow when chasing home My Girl Pearl in a class F handicap. She is still on a handy mark and can go well from stall two. Mobo-Baco is not the easiest of customers but should go well for the champion following a promising outing in a Chepstow seller last time. Icannshift has let supporters down on numerous occasions this season, but can be given a great chance on the best of his form. So not a race to get carried away on the betting front, but Armentieres could be the best alternative.
