9st 5lb

J: David Nolan

T: David O’Meara

Went close at Thirsk (1m, good) on reappearance; failed to improve on that when fourth of six at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in another novice event three weeks later, but he still looks capable of better and his dam was a 2m4f winner, so this extra 3f for handicap debut will surely help.

Gelded and much improved from his debut when a promising second of seven in 1m novice at Thirsk 22 days ago; looks to have more to offer; a player.

Hasn't achieved much in three runs at big prices; pulled hard upped to 1m2f last time, having appeared flattered at Thirsk, and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Outsider in both starts; appeared to run well, finishing fourth, at Thirsk (1m) switched to turf on reappearance but looks the type who'll find better opportunities in handicaps shortly.

2,000gns yearling; beaten under 5l over 5f at Thirsk but that was nearly a year ago and he's up markedly in trip this time; pedigree is quite speedy.

Simbas Pride

9st 3lb

J: Mark Winn

T: Michael Dods

Suited by drop back in trip when scoring on this month's handicap debut at Hamilton (6f, good) and probably bettered that performance when close second over C&D (good) a fortnight later; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and nicely drawn towards nearside rail; big player.

Simbas Pride

J: Mark Winn

T: Michael Dods

Showed promise in maiden/novice company at Thirsk (5f to 1m) and he duly stepped forward on his handicap debut at Hamilton two weeks ago (6f, good), always prominent and proving too strong for the reopposing Ellie's De Vega; attracted market support on that occasion (14-1 into 15-2) and he looks a major player up 3lb.

Similar sort of RPRs in his qualifying runs, over 5f, 1m and 7f; this initial mark could be workable but doubts remain as to what his trip will be.
