Blackmore Building And Design Handicap

Still unexposed after five starts, failing to improve when upped to 1m4f for his two handicaps (hung right last time); off 103 days (gelded) before latest; drops back in trip for his turf debut with more needed from him.

Struggled in three starts over 5f for Jack Jones (same owners); gelded since last seen 344 days ago and now steps up markedly in trip on his yard/handicap debut; mixed signals in pedigree for stamina; watch the market.

Made the frame on AW in his final two outings last year (8.6f/1m) and finished third of 12 at Wetherby (1m, good to firm; behind Penn Avenue) on his reappearance and first start since being gelded; steps up in trip (stamina in the family) and is respected.

0-7 in Ireland and he went backwards from his seasonal/stable debut when down the field at Redcar (1m, good to firm) two weeks later; needs to bounce back now trying this trip for the first time.

Progressed when runner-up to an improver, who has won three times since, on handicap debut at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago, shaping as if this step up in trip would suit; she's well related and should have more to offer.
