Racing League Race 25 Handicap (For horses In The Care Of Trainers Registered To Racing League)

Runners: 12 runners

Surface: Turf

Weather: Partly cloudy

Form: 898-10 D

W: 9st 12lb

7 yo Gelding

OR: 90

Form & Verdict
Made an immediate impact for his new yard with a convincing Newmarket win (5f, good to firm; well backed) in July, and a poor effort at Ascot next time is easily forgiven as he reared at the start and raced alone up the centre of the track; fine at 6f and still feasibly treated if getting it right at the start.

Ran a stormer over C&D on his seasonal return; the ground went against him at Epsom on Derby day and he has quickly bounced back with placed efforts at Beverley and Newmarket; up 2lb for latest near-miss but still on a good mark; Oisin Murphy booked; decent chance.

Useful as 2yo for Karl Burke; struggled, albeit in good races, for that yard this year but he was sold for 70,000gns last month and made a fine start for his new connections when finishing off well for second at Chepstow last week (6f, good); 2lb ahead of the handicapper after that run and he's one to take seriously.

All four wins at 6f but was a good third over 5f at Ascot last spring and the way he travelled in the lead for a long way in a competitive 6f handicap at Newmarket last weekend suggests he should be fine back at the minimum trip; well drawn to attack against the rail but any easing of the ground may not help his cause (best form on good/good to firm).

Won a 6f maiden on his second 2yo start and followed up under a penalty in a 6f novice at Thirsk soon afterwards; best handicap run this year when second at Doncaster (7f) 12 days ago, travelling notably strongly but unable to peg back the more prominently ridden winner off a slow early gallop; 2lb rise is not insurmountable and a truly run 6f could be ideal.

Unexposed 3yo who has shaped with considerable promise in both 6f handicaps, notably at Chepstow last week where he tanked through the race, leading around a furlong out before tiring and losing three places in the final furlong; could do with settling a bit better and being more smartly into stride but it seems inconceivable that he's not better than this mark when things fall into place; outside stall is not ideal for one who can be lit up though.
