Yet to win a handicap but there have been some near misses this summer, including when half a length behind Abbey Heights at Wolverhampton in June; gelded since last in action and he returns with his stable going well; good draw and he's high on the list.

J: Harry Davies

Won over 6f on Southwell Tapeta on second start; can probably still raise his game in 6f handicaps, having had a poor run at Newcastle on first attempt and running to a useful level at Haydock in May before a shade onepaced in fourth at Windsor since; the likely good pace here will suit.

Won on debut at Newbury (6f, soft) last September before lesser run at Salisbury (6f, heavy); made it 2-3 when making all in Kempton handicap (6f, AW) this month; had just a neck to spare last time but is only 2lb higher here and there's every chance she'll continue to progress.

Major improvement when winning by 4l on handicap/seasonal debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last month and he followed up over this C&D (good) four days later; had just a neck to spare last time and is 6lb higher today, but this well-bred colt could have more left in the tank for his top yard.

Completed a 6f hat-trick last spring but signed off for William Haggas with last of 13 at Newcastle in November; had been gelded before racing too freely on his stable debut/reappearance 19 days ago; that should have knocked some freshness out of him and he's back on his last winning mark.

None too consistent but he ran well on his return to turf at Windsor last month and then lost his chance at the start at Bath 16 days ago (blindfold off late); on a good mark and his rider takes off a handy 5lb; interesting with new blinkers replacing a visor.

Sole success came in a Chester maiden in June 2024; often attracts support but flatters to deceive on many occasions; visor returns after being left off last time, and he's down to a career-low mark, but 1-16 win record is off-putting.

Began the year with a mark 24lb higher but it's been a struggle in handicaps, latterly for new yard; latest effort, when running into dead end after dead end in the straight at Haydock (7f, good; blinkers first time) was a bit more encouraging and he may have found his level now.
