Karl Burke has took full advantage of Platinum Charmer's low handicap mark and he may be capable of landing one more success before the assessor gets to grips with him, Patricia Philomena and Kyle Of Lochalsh look the main dangers. This progressive five-year-old made it four in a row when comfortably beating today's rival Silver Seeker over course and distance last week and is only three pounds worse off. He just had to be pushed out hands and heals and there is obviously still more to come. Patricia Philomena was a short head away in third place in that contest and does have a nice turnaround in the weights, she looks the main threat to the selection. Kyle Of Lochalsh has also seen the selection's rear end in a recent contest and he too has a big pull in the weights. There is no doubt he will be involved in the finish. Bargain Hunt and Susiedil also have the form to challenge for some place money, but Platinum Charmer cannot be ignored in this mood and gets the vote.
