J: Callum Shepherd

T: Ross Burdon

Winner over C&D early last month off a 3lb lower mark (second and fourth successful since); maybe wasn't best suited by the drop to 1m1f behind Katalyst here last time, when hanging right (not for the first time) having looked set to win; holds fair claims.

Off the mark for new stable when taking a 1m2f handicap here (good to firm) 19 days ago; a 3lb rise shouldn't be an issue but he wouldn't want this to get tactical.

0-7 and his claims aren't compelling, but soft ground may not have suited this 3yo last time and there have been signs of promise previously; edging down the weights and things may click at some point.

OUR TIP

Form: 38-926 C

Last run: 12 days

W: 10st 2lb

4 yo Colt

OR: 60

Form & Verdict
Slow starts can be an issue and he couldn't get into it when sixth at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) recently, but it wasn't a bad run and before that he was second at Newbury (1m, good); the step back up in trip may help and he might not be far away; the visor (worn on last two runs) is left off.

Runner-up off this mark at Newbury (1m, good) in May but slow starts can be an issue and he's been well held in his last two runs; didn't get much luck at Nottingham last time but he's not easy to predict and others are more persuasive.

Completely missed the break but showed best form since last July when second at Newbury (1m, good) in this first-time headgear combination under Oliver Carmichael one month ago; 1lb nudge still leaves him below his winning mark and he needs considering.
