Race Preview

Brave Traveller is taken to land this 6f handicap after a determined success over course and distance in December. The three-year-old showed a willing attitude that day and remains open to further improvement, especially given his relatively light profile. If progressing again, he looks the one to beat.

Southern Warrior is an interesting contender making his handicap debut after showing promise in novice company. There should be more to come from him now entering this sphere, and he could be a major threat if taking a step forward.

Thankfully Simmy shaped well on handicap debut at Lingfield and could improve further following a gelding operation. That latest effort suggested he is capable of being competitive off this mark and he looks solid each-way value.

Homestrait has some ability based on juvenile form but needs to prove herself on this surface, while Everydaysasaturday is another who could improve for switching to handicaps on the all-weather.

Of the remainder, Baldosa showed signs of promise on her AW debut and may not be entirely dismissed if building on that effort.

Final Selection

⭐ Brave Traveller – Progressive and proven over course and distance, he looks capable of going in again.
