A competitive field goes to post for this armatures handicap and the main protagonists look to be Lord Of the Land, Ela La Senza and York Rite and we will take a chance on Lord Of The Land. The gelding took a heavy fall last time out but prior to that he was a fair third over course and distance behind Lanzlo and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Ela La Senza would be a big danger on his best form but he ran as if the handicapper had caught up with him when well behind reasonable Reserve last time out so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. York Rite is also worth of respect on his latest third behind Gilou and he should go well of what looks a fair mark. Midlem Melody is another in form that looks to be on a fair mark while Bodfari Signet has a top jockey booked so is worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with Lord Of The Land.
