Justcallmehandsome, well okay maybe not, but the horse of that name can complete a hat-trick here at the main expense of Weet Yer Tern and Blue Quiver. The selection is in real good form at present, having scored both over c&d and also over a mile at Kempton last time. The return to this trip looks ideal and he looks capable of defying a penalty in what is not a hot handicap. Weet Yer Tern is also in decent nick and took a similar contest over c&d before a 6lb rise found him out last time. The drop back in trip is a plus and from this same mark he won't be far away. Blue Quiver is another c&d scorer who is going pretty well of late. This looks more his trip than the 7f he tried at Kempton last time, though he is probably a little too high in the weights. The same can be said of Pelham Crescent and Fateful Attraction and like it or not the selection, well Justcallmehandsome.
