Perhaps in need of the run when eighth of 13 behind Hucklesbrook at Leicester on return in May and left that behind him when readily seeing off his 13 rivals at Windsor last month (6f, good to firm); that race has thrown up some winners and a 7lb rise looks justified but he is in much deeper this time.

6f AW novice winner for Ralph Beckett who was subsequently fairly solid without proving progressive in handicaps, latterly in blinkers; gelded ahead of his stable debut when second of 10 at Brighton (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; was prominent in the market but may still build on that encouraging start and cheekpieces go on; unraced on slower than good.

Best results for Ralph Beckett, from whom he was picked up for 35,000gns last autumn (gelded not long after), came on the AW; new trainer 3-7 with runners here but an easy 6f looks a bare minimum, especially after such an absence; market useful.
