Luddon Construction 50th Anniversary Celebrations Handicap

2-15 for Charles Hills, his last win coming at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last summer; changed hands for 38,000gns in October and the market should indicate what is expected on stable debut after seven months off.

Won a heavy-ground Catterick novice (7f) as a 2yo; not beaten far into fifth of 15 on last month's Doncaster return (7f, good; first start since being gelded) in March, but he still needs to prove that he wants this far.

Beautifully bred and showed ability in all three starts over 7f on good to firm/AW last year; makes his handicap debut after eight months off having been gelded in the meantime and the market should be informative.

A bit in and out since returning on the AW in February, including a Newcastle success (1m) in March; has won on good to firm ground and no problem with the trip; shortlisted.

2-26, but has been placed in six of his 11 starts since his latest success including all three back on turf off this mark; beaten less than a length into second of eight over C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago and should go well again.
