5 yo Gelding

OR: 50

Form & Verdict
He was successful over 1m2f at Yarmouth last month and that race has worked out remarkably well for a lowly 0-55 handicap; disappointed when favourite for a 0-50 classified back at Yarmouth last time (finished behind Agent Of Fortune) but he would have strong claims if reproducing the winning effort; lower draw would have been ideal for a prominent racer.

C&D winner (also 9.5f here) who returned last August from a lengthy absence and showed there was still minor ability there; didn't see the racecourse again until being beaten 11l in a similar event to this here (9.5f) recently; bit to prove at present.

Form & Verdict
Won a 1m2f handicap at Leicester in April 2021, which wasn't a springboard to better things and she's been absent for over a year; however, she's effective on AW and goes well for Hollie Doyle, and it will be no surprise to see a good run on her return.

Two course wins when trained by Richard Hughes, one of them over this trip; his stable debut at Chepstow (1m, good) in June offered hope but he has taken backward steps in three runs since; return to this venue and drop into 0-50 company could see him in a better light.
