An above average claimer for the all-weather. Sound Advice is rated 96 but arrives out of sorts while Mythical Madness has not raced since December last year when going close at Chelmsford. But READY won a handicap over 1m2f at Newcastle earlier this month and went close again at Lingfield last time. He gets the nod given he’s won over track and trip before. Hard To Handel landed a claimer at Redcar recently and also drops back in distance but Saxo Jack was tailed off on last months reappearance and it remains to be seen if he can run anywhere near his current mark.
