2/1

Brother to Oaks winner Taghrooda. Off the mark in 9-runner novice (5/1) at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm) 124 days ago. Gelded since and bred to be a lot better than a handicapper. Got to be high on the list.

Forecasts

Almuhit (2/1), Tuxedo Junction (4/1), True Courage (15/2), Pillar Of Hope (11/1), Hasty Sailor (11/1), Base Note (12/1), Sir Rumi (12/1), Savvy Knight (12/1), Secret Box (12/1), Nao Da Mais (18/1), Spring Glow (25/1), Noble Anthem (33/1), Zhang Fei (40/1), Naval Commander (50/1)

This looks a hot handicap with the lightly-raced ALMUHIT getting the vote. He's bred to be a lot better than his current mark as a full-brother to an Oaks winner and having won a solid-looking Haydock novice when last seen could have plenty more to offer back in trip after a gelding operation. Hasty Sailor is very interesting returned to the AW, while Pillar of Hope and the hat-trick seeking True Courage also make plenty of appeal.
