Another tricky handicap to close the day with OUT ON THE TEAR taken to go one better after just being reeled in by the prolific Main Fact last time. That was a cracking effort by the selection who is clearly on the upgrade, having scored previously on heavy ground at Uttoxeter. He has shaped well enough on better ground previously and remains acceptably treated in the light of recent improvement. Justice Knight found life tougher off his new rating last time but is still of interest, although Armattiekan looks a likelier danger on the evidence of his overall profile. Holy Hymn is a possible improver and Infiniti is an obvious each-way play.
