Ripon Silver Bowl Handicap

Five starts last year, the pick of his form when narrowly winning 7f Newmarket novice (good ground) on third go; caught away from the main action and perhaps didn't handle soft ground when last seen in October; down in trip but has speedy pedigree and should have more to give for good yard; newly gelded.

Some fair form last year, notably winning 5f Beverley maiden (good to firm); perhaps unsuited by soft ground when last seen in October; could progress some more if the rain stays away.

Seven starts last year, notably winning 5f Beverley maiden (good ground); didn't run badly when unplaced in Redcar Two Year Old Trophy (6f, soft) when last seen in October; since had a breathing operation; could still have more to give.

Won Chepstow maiden before placed in nursery company on next three goes last year (6f, good/good to firm); off since September; can be competitive if picking up where he left off.

Ex-Karl Burke; raced ten times last year, notably winning 5f maiden and runner-up in 6f nursery (both on soft ground); 18-1 for intended reappearance/stable debut over 7f earlier this month when withdrawn for being unruly; probably needs rain, but unappealing even if so.
