Verdict
KAZBOW will be short odds to see off Lilac Moon and Moonshine Creek. Luca Cumani's runners in handicaps always attract plenty of interest and having seen plenty of support on handicap introduction, we are confident that there will be plenty of money around this afternoon. A half-brother to useful stayer, Key Time, we were somewhat surprised that he was so readily overhauled. Lilac Moon has not had much racing this term and while well beaten on a previous visit to the course, she is worth another try this afternoon. Moonshine Creek is back to a feasible mark. His latest effort had followed a four month absence so he can be expected to have come on for the run. Chookie Hamilton is dropped in trip having disappointed over 1m6f at this course on a number of occasions. Trachonitis is not without hope on some of his better efforts although his trainer's stable form leaves a lot to be desired. Augustus John is not the most frequent of winners and would have made much more appeal were this on Southwell's fibresand. Rehabilitation won his maiden at the course and is probably best of the rest. Kazbow is not without a couple of chinks in the armour though could still be good enough in this grade.
