Race Tip
The William Haggas trained ALTMORE (3) makes the long journey north and can win on handicap debut. Looked a work in progress winning by a nose over 6f at Chepstow. Will appreciate the step up to 7f. Drop in grade combined with a return to soft conditions is sure to suit BILL'S BAAR (4). Market support for the well-drawn handicap debutant ROB'S UMBERELLA (9) would be significant after three fair qualifying runs earlier in the year. HOMER STOKES (10) won comfortably over course and distance on soft ground. A 5lb higher mark and rise in grade demands more. Cannot be discounted.
