Over Rating, Faraway Look and First Eagle look the ones to concentrate on in this open handicap and we will side with Over Rating. The gelding was a fair sixth behind Velarian last time having forced a suicidal early pace. In the hope that the change of yards has revitalised him the Four-year-old is taken to score off what looks a fair mark. Faraway Look could also go well he was a fair fourth behind Sangivose last time. However, he gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip and is opposed for that reason. First Eagle was a good second behind To Wit To Woo in a maiden last time and he could go well off what looks a fair mark. Of the remainder: Escalade has dropped to a handy mark and is worth noting in the market. Grand Lass is also on a good mark but has been done no favours by the draw so we are happy to side with Over Rating.
