Form & Verdict

Three wins for James Bethell but getting on for two years since the last of them; has gone close on a couple of occasions at Doncaster (6f) this summer and wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest 5f run at Beverley (first run back from a third wind operation); should be up to making an impact off this mark but his record suggests any rain would be a stumbling block.

Form & Verdict

He has had some near misses over C&D this summer but things have clicked back on the AW on his last two starts, winning well at Newcastle 18 days ago and just as convincing in an apprentice race at Southwell last week; escapes a penalty for that success and his form claims are obvious; effective on softer than good.

In a rich vein of form at present, winning 6f handicaps at Hamilton and here (twice) in his last four starts (the defeat came over 1m); seems to handle most ground and returning to 7f shouldn't be an issue; edging up the weights but should remain competitive.
