He's raced four times this season and has suffered heavy defeats on three occasions, but two starts ago he easily made all at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) and it might be dangerous to write him off.

Left his first three handicap efforts behind when making all with ease over 1m4f at Catterick (good to firm) 13 days ago, proving well suited by the significant step up in trip; an extra 2f ought to be within range on that evidence, although this is a much stiffer track.

Struggled in three maidens in Ireland last year and same story when upped to 1m3f on handicap/stable debut at Southwell (AW; 20-1) last month; one of two runners for yard and she needs a transformation back on turf.

Probably bred for further than this but, from a leading role over 1f out, he weakened into sixth of 11 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 16 days ago; 16-1 that day and cheekpieces are now called on.

Sea The Moon gelding; always behind on his four starts to date, coming in a well-held sixth of eight in 9.5f maiden here on his return 18 days ago; much more is expected now he goes handicapping stepped up in trip; interesting.

Fairly encouraging debut run at Newbury (5f, good) last April; two lesser runs followed (6f/7f, good/soft) and she was sold out of Darryll Holland's yard for 1,000gns last September; however, she's bred to be suited by the step up in trip on handicap/stable debut and is not ruled out.

Masar filly who was well held in three 2yo runs at around 7f but this is more realistic and she's a possible improver upped in trip on handicap debut; needs watching in market back from 226 days off.
