GOLDEN HANDSHAKE confirmed his previous promise when easily getting off the mark at Lingfield 30 days ago and he is taken to follow up with better still to come as he goes handicapping. Odin Legacy arrives in fine form and is feared most, ahead of recent course-winner His Finest Hour.

    Verdict
    With debut run behind him, shaped well when second at Nottingham in May before landing the odds (2/11) in a Lingfield maiden (11.6f, good to firm) a month ago, scoring with plenty in hand. Remains with potential making handicap debut.

    Verdict
    Much improved on third start when third in a Lingfield novice (8f) in November. Matched that form when also third on seasonal/handicap debut at Nottingham (10.2f, good) in April, though hung badly left under pressure. More needed after further 3 months off.

    Verdict
    Novice winner at Wolverhampton (9f) in October but struggled in handicaps next 3 starts. However, he bounced back to form when scoring at this course (10f, good to firm) 15 days ago, form boosted by the third since. Could still have more to offer.

    Won twice at Southwell (both at 12.1f) last year and encouragement both starts this season, beaten only 1½ lengths when fourth of 13 at Kempton (12f) on latest outing in May. Can give his running once more back down in grade.
