In depth

Verdict

Amical Risks gets the confident vote in this handicap with Pianoforte and Buscador rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Altos Reales last time out, that form has since been franked and off what remains a fair mark he will be hard to beat with his yard continuing in good form. Pianoforte rates the main danger as he beat Bethany's Boy last time out but that was only in a seller and this looks tougher. Buscador is another worthy of respect but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when third behind Morbick last time and he is taken on with this in mind. Micky Mac was doing all his best work at the finish when second behind Katiyapour last time and looks sure to be suited by this longer trip while Mighty Mover has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Amical Risks.
