7 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Just a single win since his 3yo days (off 2lb higher last July) and, while he handles soft ground, he could probably do without too much rain; otherwise his yard has been among the winners and he has the vastly experienced Mark Winn up.

Big prices and well held in three spread-out AW runs to date; isn't obviously well treated now handicapping but this half-brother to four winners is worth tracking in the market.

Sole win came on Polytrack and he hasn't been in any form this year; this is easier than he's used to, back down from 2m, but he's been kept to fast surfaces and may not want too much rain.

Verdict

Significant easing of the ground would be a concern for a few of these but wouldn’t pose any problems for the consistent TURNER GIRL. She’s preferred to Myboymax, whose turf wins have all come in high summer.[Graham Wheldon]
