Love Fairs Antique Fair 22 October Handicap (Div 1)

The Special One^t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 55| C

5/1

Has come back from a break with consecutive handicap wins off marks of 50 and 53 the second here over 7f. Needs to eke some more improvement here over slightly further off a higher mark (been placed off this mark) but still much respected.

Form: 384611

Harlequin Rock¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: M Quinn| OR: 55| D

16/1

His third over a mile at Yarmouth remains his only creditable piece of form this year but always looks vulnerable to anything progressive or well handicapped. Last two efforts have been poor and not really a betting proposition here.

Chough²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Kirby| T: H Morrison| OR: 56| BF

2/1

Went close last time looking more resolute under pressure than on some previous effort without totally convincing. She's raised 1lb for that effort but it's more a question of attitude and application than weights and measure for her.

Form: 634262

Good Business³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: J Noseda| OR: 55

15/2

Comes from a good yard but really hasn't shown that much as yet on her three qualifying runs for her handicap debut. Only has one effort that looks worthy of basing this mark on but she's one to watch in the market.

Form: 049

Captain Marmalade^h⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 50

11/2

One win from 24 starts doesn't really make him bet compelling material and he usually handicaps himself by being slowly away. Looks as though he could be capable off this mark but hard to trust given his application at the start.

Form: 853655

Lesanti¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 52| BF

8/1

Dropped back to 6f last time out on the AW and didn't show himself in the best light with his third over 7f here being his best form of late. He would have a good chance on that run (looks well handicapped) if he can curb his rather free nature.

Form: 425635

Limerick Lord^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 46| D

11/2

The handicapper is starting to relent and that would give him a chance in this sort of company with his last win coming off 60 albeit a while ago. He should prove up to being competitive here and showed that he could handle this course last time out.

Form: 454843

African Quest²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 45

22/1

Didn't really show any improvement starting out his life in handicaps last time out off a lowly mark and unlikely to do much better here from 1lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Chough (2/1), The Special One (5/1), Captain Marmalade (11/2), Limerick Lord (11/2), Good Business (15/2), Lesanti (8/1), Suni Dancer (8/1), Harlequin Rock (16/1), African Quest (22/1), Flaming Fynn (50/1)

Fairly lowly fare and although this division looks to hold slightly more interest that the second division of this 0-55 handicap. It probably give The Special One a good chance of completing her hat-trick although she does need to find a little bit of improvement from somewhere and the door could just be ajar for Limerick Lord and LESANTI. The former is given a real chance by the handicapper and may take advantage soon while the latter is also looking well weighted if he puts it all together having shown some promise of late. Good Business is another to throw in the mix who really could be anything from a good yard while Chough would have a leading chance if she actually put it all in.
