Global Humor^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 58| CD

7/1

Unreliable individual. 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Looked unlucky when fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 18/1) 12 days ago, finishing well after not clear run. Makes appeal despite his quirks.

Forecasts

Darbucks (5/2), Alpine Sierra (11/4), First Greyed (5/1), Monhammer (6/1), Global Humor (7/1), Purple Martini (15/2), Debater (12/1), Zebra Star (18/1), Pallas Lord (20/1), Genevieve (22/1), Gordonstoun (33/1), Flash Bulb (80/1)

ALPINE SIERRA has become well treated and his last two runs have indicated that he's back in reasonable form, so he's worth chancing in an open-looking race. Global Humor is a danger having shaped well over C&D last time and Darbucks is likely to be involved again.
