Verdict

FANTASY MASTER ran creditably in a stronger Ascot race 12 days ago and could be worth chancing from a tempting mark having won on his last go over C&D. The unexposed Cherry Cobbler is interesting, while Abbey Heights has good all-weather form and might figure if getting an early lead.

Opened his account at Southwell in December and mostly good efforts this season, although just eighth of 13 in 6f handicap at Ascot (7/1) 97 days ago when not doing anything quickly enough. Gelded since.

Verdict
Experienced handicapper and a C&D winner. Sixth of 11 in a better race at Ascot (11/1) 12 days ago, racing off the pace before making headway 2f out with no extra final furlong. This is easier back over 6f and one to consider.

Seventh of 11 in 5f handicap at Ascot (18/1) 12 days ago, running better without reaching top form. Rare go at 6f and bare 5f has always seemed his best trip.

Successful 3 times for Karl Burke at 2, including in a 6f listed event at York. Finished 11th of 19 in handicap at Ascot (66/1) 40 days ago, continuing out of sorts and making little impression.

Verdict
On a good mark judged on peak form when in the care of Karl Burke and he was a close third in a 4-runner Hamilton handicap on second start for new yard in August. Excuses at Leicester (14/1) 9 days ago, well away from the main action.
