Verdict

Both Istiqdaam and Dancing Welcome are on form but JUST TIMMY MARCUS goes well here and looks well treated in this handicap and gets the vote. The lightly raced selection races almost exclusively at this venue and has scored twice in six visits. He races off a pound higher than when finding just a subsequent winner too good last time and he won under a similar load earlier this year. Istiqdamm was only just headed over course and distance on his last outing when three pounds better off. That rise takes his burden to 11bs more than he carried to victory three starts ago and that might be telling. Dancing Welcome gets on well with his young pilot and given that pilot's claim he is still weighted to go close. Crystallize needs to be considered now back below his last winning rating but Just Timmy Marcus is on better form and is the selection.
