Improved for the step up to 2m/switch to AW/blinkers when winning at Lingfield in August 2022 (off this mark); absent since finishing fourth of eight at Kempton one month later; gelded during his 1,284-day absence; hard to recommend on first run for a new stable.

held up in midfield, switched right and headway over 6f out, led over 5f out, shaken up and went clear from over 1f out, ridden out (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, colt benefitted from a step up in trip and the application of first time blinkers)

Form & Verdict
Successful handicap debut over 1m4f on turf but that trip looked inadequate when a staying-on third on AW here next time and he saw 2m out well when losing on the nod at Thirsk in July; up 3lb; can improve.

Continues to drop down the weights and he didn't run badly when fifth of eight at Kelso (2m6f, soft) last month; one to watch in the betting but this 11yo needs to raise his game to return to winning ways.

J: Richie McLernon

T: Ben Haslam

Won a Cartmel handicap (2m6f, good; wore cheekpieces) off this mark last July; in with a chance when taking a heavy fall two out here (3m2f, good) in September but he's not fired in his last two runs; has something to prove again and he's ideally suited by quicker ground.

Form & Verdict
Won first three handicaps at 1m3f-1m6f but lightly raced since and seems rather becalmed off this sort of mark, not improving as much for his reappearance as had seemed likely when runner-up at Kempton 12 days ago; should still figure.

His record in Class 6 handicaps reads -111221; not at his best in an amateur riders' event at Southwell two weeks ago (1m6f) but ought to be seen in a better light today; strong candidate in first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Maiden; close up in staying handicaps on turf and AW last summer and he wasn't beaten far in quite a competitive 2m turf handicap in May; however he ran no sort of race back on AW in June and risky for now.
