Verdict

Allied Powers, Young Mick and Magicalmysterytour make most appeal in this heritage handicap and the vote is given to ALLIED POWERS. The selection has already notched four wins this year and he was good value for his winning margin at Ayr last time when he idled in front. He remains unexposed, is adaptable with regards to the ground and should take all the beating. Young Mick is carrying top weight and he has to be respected as he is a real course specialist. He was only narrowly beaten here last month when he encountered traffic problems and although he is high enough in the weights he should run a big race. Magicalmysterytour won a decent handicap in August last year but he has since had a few problems. He bounced back to form last time when beating a decent field at Doncaster and if he can build on that effort then he should go well. Pevensey has got course and distance winnnig form and he is more than capable of going well at a price. Inventor did beat Allied Powers at Haydock back in August but our selection has since improved. Tastahil and Cool Judgement are others worthy of a mention.
