Molson Coors Handicap
1m 6f 44y
Going: Good to Firm
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneMaking a switch from hurdles to the Flat is the David Pipe-trained MR TAMBOURINE MAN, who has been handed a mark of 58 for his second outing at Salisbury. The five-year-old seems to prefer drier ground and was well beaten by nine and a half lengths at this course in July, albeit over 7f. He stayed on from 2f out that day and his hurdling record suggests he will relish this longer trip, having placed second in a novice hurdle at Worcester over two miles and winning a handicap hurdle at Exeter over 2m5f. Flying Standard was consistently placed last year, finishing second on his last three runs, but he may need the run following a six-month break. Lunar Shadow is one to watch now up in trip.
