Mythological Star (17:00 Ffos Las — Class 5 Handicap, 1m)
A three-year-old bay gelding by Magna Grecia, trained by the in-form David and Clare Kubler — firing at 27% over the last fortnight — and handed to Billy Loughnane, who is red-hot at 24% over the same period. Mythological Star makes his handicap debut today having shaped with consistent promise in novice company, finishing third at Lingfield last time beaten just three quarters of a length by Rogue Defence in a competitive 12-runner novice. The opening handicap mark of 72 looks lenient for a horse showing that level of form.
In a small field of just five, with no significant draw bias and good ground at Ffos Las, the combination of a potentially well-handicapped horse and two of the most in-form connections in training makes this hard to oppose.
Verdict: Back to win at 6/4 — handicap debutant with a lenient mark, top yard, and Loughnane in the saddle. The time is now. 🏇
