Celebrating 60 Years Of Cleveland Mountain Rescue Handicap (Div II)

Type: Flat Turf

Weather: Showers

Form: 005-

W: 9st 9lb

4 yo Gelding

OR: 55

Form & Verdict
Never dangerous in three runs last year but there was some promise in his latest run at Doncaster (6f, soft) nine months ago; bred to do better at some point and he's a potential improver now handicapping at a low level; interesting, especially if backed.

Form & Verdict
Veteran who is better on AW than turf; that is reflected in his mark though and he was third at Nottingham nine days ago on his return to the grass (5f, good); was going nowhere at halfway there but plugged on late and the return to 6f won't hurt; considered in a weak race.

Short of room before catching the eye with late headway for fifth over 7f at Southwell three weeks ago; has done most of his winning on AW but a fast-ground win at Redcar last spring shows he's effective on turf; Jet Warrior has to be considered the stable number one but he's still of interest.
