Verdict
Mashmoom has found only one too good in both starts handicapping and drops down a grade for this. Libertine Belle placed at Kempton on her handicap bow without threatening the winner but PRINCE OF BEL LIR was beaten less than a length at Yarmouth when handicapping for the first time. That was his first start since August and, racing off the same mark today with headgear fitted, Joseph Parr’s charge can open his account. Marks Bear ran well in novice company at Goodwood and is preferred to Creedmoor and Beijing Billy of the remainder.
