We finish with a very average handicap and hopefully Frankie Dettori can boot TRIBAL MYTH home ahead of Hatatheq and Sarahthecarer. Dettori has a number of decent rides tonight and Tribal Myth is another for Kevin Ryan. The selection was well backed on his come back run this season and duly obliged with an easy victory. The handicapper only put him up four pounds and we feel that won't be enough to stop the son of Johannesburg. Hatatheq was hard to pass over and should be monitored closely. He had some decent runs in good maidens last year and a mark of 70 looks more than fair. He also looked like he would make a better three-year-old so must be considered. Sarahthecarer made a pleasing seasonal reappearance and if the fancied horses flop she could pick up the pieces.
