Start Your Racing TV Free Trial Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Narrow winner on handicap debut at Ripon (1m Class 5, good; from 7lb lower) before another pleasing effort (runner-up) at Goodwood; less productive at Haydock (1m) recently, so perhaps his progress has plateaued; needs to bounce back over this new trip.

33-1 debut winner at last year's St Leger Festival (1m maiden); flattered to deceive since, floundering in the dip on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m), and bombing out at Haydock; returns from a short break as a gelding, and a further 3lb lower in the weights; first go at 1m2f.

Made all in a Kempton novice (7f; 15-8) last December; no immediate improvement for a gelding operation but he has been running to an equivalent level (on RPR's) since introduced to handicapping; eased 1lb since fifth of ten at Newbury (1m) last month; noteworthy over a new trip.

Displayed a willing attitude, taking a step forward to get off the mark at Lingfield (1m1f fillies' maiden, good; second & sixth have won since); switches to handicapping at an appropriate level, with the possibility of further improvement to come; one to consider.

Consistent; stepped up in trip, duly obliging at Chelmsford (1m2f Class 5; 85-40 favourite) a fortnight ago; reverts to turf with more improvement necessary (in this higher grade) to double up from a 4lb higher mark; it's possible that the task is achievable though; merits respect.
