Highbet Wimbledon Sports Welcome Offer Handicap

Has bits of Listed/Group form on turf and ran well in useful conditions race at Chelmsford in sole AW attempt; came up short in Royal Ascot handicap most recently but this is less demanding; possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear.

Record of 3-5 last term for previous yard, bagging Listed honours final start; form dipped sharply kept to 6f in UAE early this year for new stable and, back from another break, the market may prove best guide; 1-1 over 5f (debut win).

Progressive in three starts over 5f on turf last season, running well in the Cornwallis the final time; failed to beat a rival in 6f Group 2 at Haydock on reappearance; drops back in trip/class but has a fairly tough mark to overcome.

Ran as if something was possibly amiss in notable handicap at Epsom last time; useful form otherwise this term, scoring at Thirsk then third in big field at York; sole attempt on AW resulted in Newcastle 2yo win; not written off.

Good second in big field at York in May and ties in with Against The Wind on that effort; has failed to back up the form in two starts at same venue since, albeit with the 6f trip providing an excuse on latest; returns to what looks his optimum distance.
