IPM Group Handicap

Capable front-runner on his day and was third in this last year when 6lb higher; however, the handicapper took aim after he won a small-field conditions race at Beverley the run after and he's mostly struggled since.

Hasn't kicked on at all from his winning start for this yard at Newmarket in July and was out of the money in yesterday's Portland here.

Three 5f wins include a C&D success; lightly raced this year and went close at Chester on her penultimate start; led clearly at Goodwood last time until fading over 6f; this looks more suitable and she's nicely treated even without taking into account Warren Fentiman's claim.

Three 5f wins this season but handicapped up to his best and any softening in the ground would come against him.

Has won four times at Pontefract and his other two wins were also on a turning track (Beverley); however, runner-up in one of only two visits here and he returns in a good run of form; well handicapped and goes on all ground.
