JOINEDUPWRITING has really solid claims in this fair handicap and we take him to score in preference to Spirit Of France and Titinius. The selection races here off the same mark to that he carried when finding a fancied runner too good last time. Previous to that he was a course and distance winner in a seller in similar conditions and having gone well off higher marks in the past. He should run a big race. Spirit Of France was well beaten off five pounds higher here over a shorter trip last time out and although he should be closer this time, he is yet to prove stamina for this trip. Titinius is rated two pounds better off than the last time we saw this one in handicap company and while that we'll be of some help it's a long time since the nine-year-old scored, although he has solid place claims. Andorn is the least exposed of the field and now looks weighted to mount a serous challenge but the chances of Joinedupwriting are hard to oppose.
