Timeform Horses To Avoid: Look Officer, Kames Park and Diane's Choice

Timeform have found a trio to be taking on when next seen.

"On his latest outing, Kames Park travelled better than anything and looked a huge threat just over a furlong out, only to find much less than seemed likely and finish only third."

As a comfortable recent winner of a handicap at Southwell, from the in-form Tom Dascombe yard, Look Officer is bound to be popular when next seen. The four-year-old filly, who Dascombe acquired from David Wachman in late-2009, has long since looked ungenuine, however, and only belatedly broke her maiden tag in a weak race, where her mettle was barely tested. She's one to be against next time.

The record of Kames Park on the polytrack since October has an impressive look to it, not out of the first three in five starts and successful twice in December. Having said that, he had been dropped a chunk in the weights and is probably worth opposing now as his mark begins to creep back up, whilst the attitude he's shown during that period has left something to be desired. On his latest outing, Kames Park travelled better than anything and looked a huge threat just over a furlong out, only to find much less than seemed likely and finish only third.

Diane's Choice gained some reward for her consistency when successful in a well-run handicap at Kempton on Wednesday, but the feeling is that whatever rise she is handed for that success will prove beyond her. Diane's Choice swept through from the rear, took up the lead in the final furlong and did enough to hold on, the run of the race rather setting things up for her.
