Betfair Be Friendly Handicap Stakes

Consecutive thirds two and three starts back show Poatan in consistent form, and he lines up here just 17 days fresh from his latest outing, fit and ready; drawn four carrying 137 lb, he has run over today's trip and looks the most compelling overall profile in the race.

Toyotomi landed a win three starts back and was third four starts back, showing clear ability at this level, and he arrives fresh on six days' rest carrying 135 lb from stall six with experience over today's trip; the risk is that his last two runs have both disappointed.

Arklow Lad arrives here on the back of three wins in his last six starts, including a victory two runs back, and he has experience over today's trip; the main concern is that unplaced effort last time out, which he must put behind him.

Advertised has been placed twice in his last five starts, including a second last time out just 15 days ago, and has run over today's trip, making him a serious threat on a rating of 100; the risk is that he remains winless in recent starts.

Back from a 17-day break and drawn in stall one carrying 130 lb, Black Star Boy has experience over today's trip and a win in his last five starts to his name, though two consecutive unplaced efforts since that success give genuine cause for caution.
