J: Christian Howarth

T: Simon Dow

Lost his last 19 starts and maintains a far lesser strike-rate on turf, but two previous runs over this C&D have netted a win off 11lb higher and (latest) a near-3l fifth which can be marked up as the rider dropped his hands late on; turn might be nearing.

Form & Verdict
He had shown promise prior to getting off the mark in a 5f novice at Wolverhampton four weeks ago, form since franked by the runner-up; he doesn't look overburdened for his handicap debut and he should have the early speed to hold a position from stall 3; one to consider.

Three 5f wins at Lingfield to his name; he has been running creditably in stronger company in recent weeks, latterly a close second behind an improving sprinter at Lingfield last week; well drawn and he's a major player back down to Class 6 company; new headgear tried this time.

Poor strike-rate but he went very close over 6f at Lingfield in November (6f) and this mark is in range on that evidence; not quite so good back at Lingfield last time and he is not well drawn on this rare foray over 5f.

Two C&D wins; has been racing over 7f, a rival forcing a dead-heat off this mark at Chelmsford last May, but he had won over 6f there last March; finished a fair runner-up when making the running again here last month but likely more needed for the win.

Didn't really progress for Ismail Mohammed after making a winning handicap debut at Lingfield (6f) last summer; he has shown winning potential for his new yard, however, notably when second at Newcastle 15 days ago; poor draw here though and others are stronger.

Last run: 12 days

W: 9st 10lb

5 yo Gelding

OR: 66

Form & Verdict
Very well treated on his best form and there were clear signs at Wolverhampton in November that he was primed to strike; things haven't gone quite so smoothly in two runs since but dropping back into Class 6 company will help and positive tactics are often advantageous over this C&D; lower draw would have been optimal but he's still one to take very seriously.
