T: James Tate

Made it third time lucky in novices at Leicester in May and followed up on Doncaster handicap debut four weeks ago (both 7f, good to firm); only just held on from a late closer at Doncaster but impressed with the way he travelled close to the pace for a long way and it's likely there is better to come.

Kingman colt who made it third-time lucky when landing the odds in good style at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month; looks on a workable mark now switched to a handicap and this related colt should have more to offer; interesting contender.

Best effort when third of seven in a Leicester novice (7f, good to firm) last month and didn't appear to stay on handicap debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) a fortnight later; frame possibilities back over this trip.

Galba

J: John Fahy

Inclined to pull hard on comeback and was said to have hung right last time, both round undulating courses (7f); has shown enough ability to suggest he can be a factor now handicapping at a sensible level though.

J: Harry Davies

Promise when placed in both starts last year (good to soft and soft) but it was much his best effort when cheekpieces and/or AW sparked a win in Kempton novice (7f) 17 days ago; handicapper didn't miss that but still warrants plenty of respect on his debut in this sphere.

Two promising runs as a juvenile, at 7f and about 1m, but they were on good to soft and soft ground and he may have been feeling the good to firm surface when hanging under pressure on his Leicester return; should be capable of much better; cheekpieces fitted.

Improved from her first three starts when beaten half a length into second of nine in a 0-50 classified event at Leicester (5f, good) ten days ago; although now in a handicap this looks even less competitive; non-runner at Ffos Las Wednesday.
