FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - We rowed in behind a son of Whipper in the first in Sun On The Run and another one by the now French-based stallion could be worth chancing here in THE PANHANDLER. The progeny of Whipper are known for their ability to go well with plenty of give underfoot and this fellow has already proved as much in his two-year-old days. Now could be the time to catch him as a 'stable switcher' - first run for Tim Doyle - and in first-time blinkers (wore cheek-pieces once before). Other pluses are Billy Lee's presence in the saddle and the fact that attractive odds should be on offer about The Panhandler. As the only previous winner in the line-up Focussed - a dual scorer - has to be very much respected and his trainer is sweet on his chance. How the other two, Coldstream and Paddy Mac, go in the betting on their respective handicap debuts, could be pretty revealing.

An extended handicap for three yrs old only (95 = 9st 10lb)
Weights - Top weight in the original handicap shall not; be less than 9st 10lb
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 5lb extra for each race won Any horse rated above 95 shall initially be treated as having that rating and the highest weight allotted shall be 9st 10lb. Subsequently, the excess over 95 in any rating shall be added to the weight allotted to that horse. Alternative Handicap
