Get out your lucky pin here, for what is a very tricky nursery handicap. Top-weight Game Lad is certainly one to consider along with Favouring, but we will take a chance on Sound And Vision. The Michael Dodds trained gelding has shown a similar level of form all season, finishing just out of the places on every occasion. He came back from a break last time and after running very freely early on, did well to finish fifth to Taras Treasure. The handicapper has given him a very favourable mark and he looks set to go close at a big price. Game Lad showed improved form when stepped up to seven furlongs last time, the drop back to six is a slight worry, but nevertheless he should figure in the finish. Favouring represents top connections and has shown bits and pieces of form to warrant respect here. Azuree and Pro Tempore are just two of the others to consider, but Sound And Vision has a sporting chance and is given the vote.
