Reckless Wave (5/2), Acker Bilk (11/4), Tan Arabiq (4/1), Ice Canyon (5/1), Frown (7/1), Itlaaq (20/1), The Kid (28/1), Henry Croft (40/1), Cool Music (50/1)

Verdict

The handicapper hasn't missed ACKER BILK with effectively an 11lb rise for his C&D romp in early January. That said; he probably started from a misleading mark in the first place, and a perch of 70 isn't necessarily beyond the scope of his abilities. He appears to be the obvious play in a race where the remainder really need to step up to the plate, admittedly that could prove a distinct possibility for the lightly raced and upped in trip handicap debutante Frown. Others to consider include the returning Reckless Wave, with The Kid worthy of close inspection for further down the line.
  1. Acker Bilk
