Verdict

A wide open handicap here with many in form rivals in opposition including Ranelagh Gray, Pipssalio and King of Barbury and we will take a chance on the last named. The selection was very disappointing last time out but ran to badly to be true he has been given a break to freshen up and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat.Ranelagh Grey rates the main danger he was a good second behind Goldbrook last time and off the same mark here will not be far away. Pipssalio is another that could go well he was a fair third behind Bold Bishop last time and is sure to have come on for the run he will not be far away despite top weight. Your Advantage has ran better than his finishing positions would suggest and he could have been let in lightly for this his handicap debut. Of the remainder Grand Prairie won well last time but this looks more competitive and he will find it tougher under his penalty but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to King Of Barbury.
