6 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Poor strike-rate and he's coming here on the back of a couple of heavy defeats, the latest at Thirsk last week (overly aggressive ride); chance if back to his best but he's not that convincing.

Two-time C&D winner; near miss at Beverley in July (1m2f, good to firm) and he ran to a similar level at Ripon last month (1m3f, good); caught wide when underperforming at Pontefract last week; dangerous at this level in an uncompetitive race; jockey having first ride as an apprentice (0-5 as an amateur).

Slowly away and well beaten in three runs at around a mile on turf; the combination of a longer trip and the switch to low-grade handicaps can help but she's not easy to recommend.

Ex Tony Coyle/Kaine Wood; down the field in three AW outings earlier in the year and she was beaten 27l at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) in May when last seen; drops back in trip with cheekpieces retained on this return to AW.

No improvement for the switch to handicaps on his last two starts (both 7f, good); dam a 1m winner but his stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust.
