Arc All-Weather £1Million Bonus Returns Nursery Handicap

Modest form in three qualifying runs and took a step backwards, despite being fairly prominent in the market, when sixth of seven at Musselburgh (1m, good; looked awkward) on his handicap debut in August; pedigree suggests this step up in trip should suit but work to do on AW debut.

Didn't achieve much on his debut when third but beaten 15l at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in August; similarly modest form on his next two starts, latterly when beaten 18 at Yarmouth (1m1f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; up another furlong and needs to find more on this handicap debut.

The only one of these to have won a race, that success coming at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack; 18-1) on his penultimate start; wasn't beaten far when fifth over that C&D a fortnight ago; takes a marked step up in trip but still respected.

Modest form in three novice/maiden runs at up to 7.4f (including here); stayed on for well held second up to 8.5f on handicap debut at Beverley (8.5f, soft) a fortnight ago; dam won over 2m so this further step up in trip could unlock more.

Visored when beaten 7l on nursery debut last month but much more like it when collared only in the final strides at Redcar (also 1m, good to soft) last Wednesday; first-time blinkers were on that day but now reverts to a visor; stamina in the family and now tackles further for this AW debut; due to go up 3lb.
