Fathermost has the form to win this competitive handicap with both Kyllachy Storm and Cracking Nick worth noting. The selection is winless after ten outings but in that time he has run some fine races in defeat suggesting it is only a matter of time before he breaks his maiden tag. He caught the when second of eleven at Salisbury last month and although it was disappointing that he was a beaten favourite at Lingfield last time out he did run well in defeat. The handicapper has given him a chance as well and we feel he is more than capable of winning off his current mark so is one horse to stay on the right side of. Kyllachy Storm is another that has been running well in defeat. He has had to settle for second place on three occasions this season and possibly ran his best race when third to Tilsworth Charlie at Goodwood last time out. Yes he has become frurating to follow but he is has always given the punter a good run for their money and once again he has to be on the short list if producing his best. Cracking Nick has been competing against better company than this in the past and was exposed in that sphere at Newmarket last time out. This race ought to suit better so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Fathermost.
