Notched a first win for current yard when asserting late on at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in January and backed that up when second of eight at Kelso (2m5f, good) six weeks ago; Sean Bowen prefers Hold The Serve but this 5yo brings unexposed potential now he's stepping up in trip under Jack Kennedy.

T: Olly Murphy

Lightly raced 5yo; notched a first win for current yard when asserting late on at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) five weeks ago; still unexposed and a 4lb higher mark does not look insurmountable.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

Won 2m heavy-ground maiden on debut for Gordon Elliott over a year ago and has finished runner-up in both runs for this stable since switching to handicaps this season, most recently at Hereford (2m3.5f, soft) last month; likely to be in the thick of it again.

Both runs on heavy; the odds-on favourite flopped when he won his maiden at Fairyhouse and was then last to complete in a Grade 3 at Naas; in top hands and remains unexposed, especially under these conditions.
