Verdict
Far Gone looks the percentage call in this nursery handicap with Hold That Call and American Art others to consider. The selection hails from the Michael Bell yard and she has shown plenty of promise on her three runs to date. She is making her handicap debut here but we think she could potentially be well-treated and she is given the most tentative of nominations. Hold That Call was well backed last time and she ran a fair race but she is powerfully built type who could improve when she strengthens up. American Art ran a stinker at Newbury last time and although he has run well previously, he is hard to back with any confidence. Barraland could only finish in mid-division at Pontefract last time so he will need to improve to make the frame, and we will stick with Far Gone as the token choice.
