Verdict
An unappealing handicap chase that can go to ARMOURY HOUSE with Flying Jody and Easy Dancer others to make the most token of shortlists. Armoury House was quietly fancied for an event at Fontwell in August on testing conditions before consenting to find very little when push came to shove. His record suggests that he does get the trip and he has won under a conditional rider before. Flying Jody was sold for 6000 guineas after landing a Hereford seller off a mark of 71. A 7lb penalty is fair given the moderateness of the contest. Easy Dancer represents the stable that won this race last year. A maiden after eight starts, he stays the trip in his own time. Charmahal continues in a tongue tie though today's step up in trip smacks of desperation. Jacarado has form figures that would score well on a scrabble board though he could be given some sort of chance if the rain arrives. Wild Knight is regrettably a light of his former self and retirement cannot come too soon. A bad race that can go the way of Armoury House.
