Highbet Club WC Acca Boost Handicap

0-11 but sure to run his race, given eight RPRs in the high 50s/low 60s, and fared rather better in his division of a Nottingham 8.5f handicap (good) this month than Classic Cause did his; this might be the day.

Beaten further than had seemed likely turning in on his Chepstow handicap debut (1m2f, good); drop of 1f and 3lb both to the good, but essentially needs the headgear to help tease out resources longer.

Continuing to improve at the gentlest of rates despite usually getting something wrong, be that breaking slowly, racing lazily or (latest) refusing to settle; switch to turf and step up to 1m1f ask fresh questions.

Couldn't quite seal the deal having led over 1f out at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f); decent claims on that, though not sure it was solely the draw which contributed to a moderate effort on Nottingham's turf before that (RPR of 45 in his division versus Glitter Code's 62 in his).

Mild encouragement of November's Chelmsford debut sixth (7f) is yet to be built on; no less inclined to take a grip in the debuted hood (retained here) on last month's return, and passed over on handicap bow.
