Join Southwell Golf Club Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Soft ground perhaps contributed to heavy defeat last time; won at Thirsk the run before but this is a stiffer assignment; yet to score above Class 4.

Had no excuses from a handy position at Kempton (1m4f) but ran a solid race in defeat and he's only 2lb higher than for his York win earlier in the season; solid contender with competitive form at this track.

Perhaps has her share of weight now but she's compiling a solid profile in handicaps and emerged from the rear for second over 1m3f here last month; thereabouts.

Three-time winner with form at this track; not far off his best RPR when second in a small field at Ascot (1m4f) and a steady pace was no good for his patient tactics when behind Great Bedwyn and Mrs Twig at Kempton two weeks ago; fair shout should this pan out more favourably.

Has only won over 1m4f at Chester in his last 26 starts; feasibly handicapped but he hasn't threatened in last four runs and others are more persuasive; 0-2 here.
