GAIN The Advantage Series Handicap

Trained up until now in Britain by James Horton, winning Wolverhampton AW maiden in March and best turf run when second in Windsor Class 4 handicap (6f, good-to-firm) in May; way below that form in cheekpieces in similar Doncaster contest 12 days later; yard debut with cheekpieces left off.

Useful juvenile form and off the mark back at 5f early this month, making most over fast Tipperary track in an apprentice handicap (Thie Ain't Texas fourth); this trip holds no fears and big player with rider's 7lb claim negating 5lb rise.

Lightly raced maiden caught the eye on recent handicap debut at Tipperary, staying on from well off the pace to finish fourth behind Skillman Ave under considerate enough handling; longer trip and stiffer finish should suit and no surprise if he pushed that rival close here.

Ran over three different trips at two and ran well for a long way on seasonal return in Tipperary handicap (7.5f) until tiring late on; drop back in trip could suit.

Close fourth in 6f Naas maiden last year but hasn't run anywhere near that level since, never counting twice in handicaps this term; back in trip with first-time blinkers on.
