Norwich Inns Group 'Confined' Handicap (For Horses Which Have Not Won Since 2024 Flat Turf Season)

Runner-up on last four starts, most recently at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; he's back in cheekpieces today, in which he won over C&D (good to soft) last July; solid claims.

He's gone close on AW on two of his last five starts (1m3f/1m2f) and is also effective on turf; however, he's a 13-race maiden who is inconsistent and failed to threaten last time; another headgear swap.

It was his first crack at 2m when tailed off back on turf latest; some fair runs over 1m4f/1m6f on AW this year and there have been hints this drop back in trip may suit, but he's 0-7 and doesn't have compelling claims.

Promising third on debut at Chester (7.5f, good to soft) last August; lesser runs on his two starts since (7f/1m, AW/good to firm) but he has a useful pedigree and is an interesting candidate now going handicapping over a new trip for his in-form yard, especially if strong in the betting.

Ran well when third on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last December and may have needed the run when fifth at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in March; gelded since and ran well on fast ground here last September; unexposed and could be capable off his current mark.
