Racing Partnership Celebrating 10 Years Handicap Stakes

Horace Wallace arrives here in solid nick after 24 days off, his experience over today's trip and going a genuine asset, and our rating has him narrowly top-rated; the concern is that his sole recent win came six starts back, with five subsequent outings failing to build on it.

Sarafina Mshairi won four starts back and has experience of today's trip and going, while carrying 135 lb from stall one, and our rating of 68 marks her as a strong second-ranked danger; the risk is that her last three runs have yielded only a sixth, eighth, and ninth.

Winless in his last six starts, Far Too Fizzy at least showed a return to form when second last time out, and has experience of today's trip and conditions; a career-high weight of 135 lb from stall six may test his resolution.

Phoenix Moon has finished eighth in each of her last two starts, making her hard to fancy from her lowly ranking in this field, though she does hold distance and going experience and a third and a second in recent starts show she retains some ability on her day.

Balon d'Or comes here in the best shape of his recent campaign, winning last time out and returning just 14 days later with fitness on his side; he has run over today's trip and going before, and 134 lb from stall three is workable enough to make him our pick.
