Franklin Hodge Handicap

Lower in the weights than when second of ten over C&D last October and when third of seven back here in January, but just 1-31 and was beaten a very long way at this venue last month; best watched for now.

Poor form in five starts over 1m2f-1m6f for three different stables; needs the hood to work the oracle.

Made all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) in July and a close third of 12 at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) the following month; disappointing favourite at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last time which gives him something to prove; tongue-tie given a go.

Offered promise on his second start for the yard when third of nine at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in June, but not built on it in two starts since and now 0-25 under rules; look elsewhere.

One of her best efforts when third of eight over C&D (first-time cheekpieces) in May, but twice held since and now 0-13 under rules; others more compelling.
