    Verdict

    A typically tricky Yarmouth handicap can go to Charlie Tango, with Lucefer, Fleet Anchor and Ligne D'Eau respected as dangers. Ligne D'Eau came good in a seller at Leicester earlier in the month and is obviously in good heart. However, he rarely runs two races the same and only he will know what mood he is in today. A market move may be a risky bandwagon to jump on where he is concerned. Fleet Anchor has each-way claims on the best of his efforts and shapes as if he can go well for each-way backers. Still, even the Milton Bradley magic has failed to initiate a win from 21 previous attempts and he needs a bit of luck on his side today. Lucefer goes well here and will has a habit of popping in when least expected. However, this is his grade and he can provide the selection with the most to do. Nevertheless, Charlie Tango was arguably a little unlucky not to have got closer to a very well handicapped rival here a fortnight ago and, with a sharper break from the stalls, is fancied to put the record straight this afternoon.
