Bath Racecourse Thanks NetBet Classified Stakes

Just lost out in a handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month, but went one better dropped to this level at Brighton (7f, good to firm) six days later; dropping back in trip shouldn't be an issue, but his 6lb penalty might be, though only caught close home when third at Brighton (6f) yesterday.

Missed the whole of 2023 and 2024 but has done well since returning at this level, winning for Roger Fell at Newcastle (6f, AW) in February and finishing third of ten on debut for this yard at Bath (5.7f, good) last month (just over a length behind Fishermans Cottage); shouldn't be far away.

Placed a couple of times, but poor form over the past year and now 0-18; plenty to find, even at this level.

1-15 but has been running well since returning from seven months off in May, including when second of ten in his only previous start down at this level; beaten just over a length into second of six in a 0-55 handicap over C&D nine days ago and that reads well in this company.

Has been placed on nine occasions, including twice in 0-55 handicaps at Southwell (5f, AW) since returning in May, but now 0-20 and needs to pull out more; usually wears headgear but the visor is a first.
