In a small field Licensed should find the front. Handy little race. LICENSED (3) was spelled after winning by 7 lengths on debut at this track in the Spring, leading throughout and looking mighty promising. Looks a horse capable of going through the grades and will take plenty of beating again. TACITO (2) resumed with a solid run in a small field at Sandown Lakeside when third. His form last time in reads very well at stakes level. Big chance. THE SHAPER (4) gave subsequent listed winner Quickster a scare first-up before atoning with a strong win at Sandown Hillside. Can go right on with it. KNUCKLEBONES (7) resumes. Nothing wrong with her two runs in her debut campaign. Looks a solid hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Licensed to win.
