Augustus Gloop

9st 9lb

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: James Fanshawe

Improved with each of his three runs in novice/maiden company, getting off the mark in a four-runner event at Newcastle in September; another step forward when second to Saffron Dandy (followed up in warm race at Lingfield last week) on 6f Wolverhampton handicap debut in January and possibly found a second run after a break coming too soon when only sixth at Newcastle ten days later; freshened up since; could bounce back with a bang.

Signs of ability first two starts but appeared to take a step forward for being gelded, clinging on by a fast-diminishing margin at Lingfield (6f maiden; 11-8 favourite) latest; that form has received a boost but this opening mark isn't a gimme and this stiff track also provides a sterner test.
