Nyetimber Handicap

Ran well first time up last season when third at Beverley (7.4f, soft) and he's edged down the weights; however, somewhat underwhelming subsequently and slow ground might suit best; absent since last August.

Four wins on AW this year (7f-9.4f) and close third at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) a fortnight; his turf mark has risen at the same time and he's 2-13 on grass as opposed to 6-14 on AW, but this thriving 4yo is still respected.

Ex-French 6yo who was 0-9 during last season's first British campaign; however, he's well handicapped on his best efforts and is not ruled out.

Sixth of 16 in this last year; won twice later in the season (7f, good to firm/soft) and he's back off his last winning mark; has also won over 1m in the past; a possible if last month's reappearance run brought him on.

Two turf wins last summer (7f/1m, good to firm/good to soft), the latest off 2lb higher than today, and some good form on AW over the winter; didn't run badly on Lingfield AW a fortnight ago and could be involved.
