J: Mr Frederick Tett

T: Patrick Chamings

Heavy-ground winner in autumn 2024 who proved patchy during a limited campaign last year (fair second for Frederick Tett latterly); inclind to pull hard on comeback (Tapeta) and should fare better in a first-time tongue-tie.

Sole success came at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) in October 2024 and ended the last campaign with a fair second of seven at Nottingham (1m2f, soft); off six months and has run well fresh, but others still make greater appeal.

Hurdle/chase winner (good/good to soft) who has belatedly switched to the Flat; struggled at massive prices in maiden/novices on first three starts but showed he can make an impact in low-grade handicaps when third of 11 at Kempton (1m4f) last month; considered.

Hurdle/chase winner but he's struggled at massive prices in three Flat runs (1m/1m2f) on Polytrack; now switches to a low-grade handicap but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m4f.

Much better on his handicap debut/comeback and simply bumped into one at a short price at Redcar (gone on to win three more); longer trip should be fine on pedigree and his claims are obvious.

Beat a total of one rival last autumn in four starts over 7f/1m on AW and softer than good; gelded since and makes handicap debut over much further in first cheekpieces after 236 days off; 2lb wrong but, from this yard, you know he could reveal himself in a new light; market should be revealing.

Verdict

Although in-form Break Point is a possible having proved he stays 2m, this could concern two of the unexposed 3yos, with WORLINGTON taken to confirm last week’s Ffos Las form with Home Secretary.[Colin Russell]
