Racing TV Free Trial Handicap

Veteran; last four wins on AW at Newcastle (7f-1m) but he's on a manageable mark and hit the frame at Ayr (7f, good to firm; 33-1, today's rider Paul Mulrennan on the winner) latest; place prospects most realistic.

Eyeshields removed and ended a two-year winless run when seeing it out well at Newmarket (7f, good; from 4lb lower); not in the same form at Chepstow or Brighton since, so needs to bounce back under the 7lb claimer Elizabeth Gale.

Gained first turf win over 6f here (good to firm; stable debut) on penultimate start, and backed up with a solid effort (runner-up) at Doncaster; no issue with this longer trip and, while a combined 7lb rise will make life tougher, he's the one who arrives in the best form.

Sole win (from 19) came in newly applied cheekpieces at Pontefract (6f, good) last June; nicely weighted on that (10lb lower) and had the misfortune to bump into a progressive rival at Ayr (6f) on penultimate start; latest Hamilton effort a poor one and 7f doesn't appear his optimum.

A visor failed to rejuvenate at Brighton (7f) in April and he left Stuart Williams soon after for 7,000gns; better when fourth at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) on first start for this yard and a case can be made from a handicapping perspective (is also claimer ridden); don't discount.
