We'll take the soft option and side with LOCATION in a race where it's difficult to be confident about the chances of a number of the runners. Miss Mojito, Solis and La Gifted are just a few other names to conjure with. The selection had shown a glimmer of ability in qualifying for a mark and showed a decent turn of foot to make his handicap debut a winning one at Wolverhampton. He's only gone up by 4lbs for that narrow victory but the form looks solid enough and he could have more in the locker. The problem being that a number of his opponents are making their handicap debuts and we can only hope that the market may tell us whether their connections believe their charges are feasibly treated. The likes of Everaard, Solis, La Gifted, Rocksy and Diamond Daisy have all done enough at one time or another to believe that they're capable of winning races. Miss Mojito is a trifle more exposed but has gone close in two of her three starts in the handicap ranks on the all-weather and has to be of interest given that she's proven herself to be competitive from her current mark. An interesting puzzle but Location may just be the answer.
