Returned from a break with a third place finish in a six runner 1m4f handicap at this track earlier this month. Interesting despite a 1lb rise in the weights.

Successful three times on turf earlier this year including over 1m1f at Goodwood (good) in August. Likely to have improved for his eighth of nine over C&D on his return from a break just under three weeks ago.

8/1

Well beaten 20L 11th of 17 in a valuable soft ground 1m6f handicap at York last time out. Return to the AW and drop back in trip should see him in a better light having won over this C&D in the past.

33/1

Forecasts

Creationist (4/1), Good Tidings (5/1), Just The Man (7/1), All Yours (8/1), Emirates Knight (8/1), Kyllachy Gala (10/1), Island Brave (10/1), Kitaabaat (12/1), The Pinto Kid (12/1), Escapability (25/1), Cosmeapolitan (33/1), Zzoro (33/1), Lawn Ranger (40/1), Fire Fighting (66/1)

The application of a visor for the first time can see GOOD TIDINGS a second handicap victory in this middle distance handicap. The selection remains open to improvement having had just four starts to date and he can reverse form with fellow three-year-old Just The Man from when the pair met here last time out. Third place can go to Kitaabaat who has been in good form since joining this stable earlier in the year.
