I've been looking at The Silver Bowl handicap at Haydock this Saturday. I might have found a blot on the handicap, in the shape of Soldiers Minute, but this depends on the reliability of a form line. Last September, Soldier's Minute was fourth in a listed race at Doncaster behind Tip Two Win.

After second placing to Saxon Warrior in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, Tip To Win is rated 117 now, while Soldier's Minute current handicap mark is only 93.

Soldiers Minute was actually beaten at odds-on first time out this season in a four runner race, but he must have needed the run.

A faster pace and bigger field will suit. One firm quote him at 20/1 at this current time. I may have a dabble at some point. I'm willing to chance the Tip Two Win formline.
