Terminate can get the better of Key Partners and Ocean Avenue in this competitive looking handicap. The selection comes from a yard still on a high after their recent Chester Cup success. His form reads well too as he has been running consistently well over the past couple of months winning once and finishing second in each of his last two outings. He runs off a similar mark to that of his all weather rating and if producing his best he can go close. Key Partners was in winning action in selling grade at Southwell last time out. He has though to his credit run in better in handicaps as well over the spring and also on the turf last summer when his best effort saw him finish a close second at Warwick. A personal best would be needed for success here but the stable are in great form so any market moves should be noted. Ocean Avenue did win once last season but has been off the boil for some time. That said he has now dropped to a winnable mark so is one to note in the market. But for the winner we return to Terminate.
