Ted Palmer Memorial Handicap

Three-time turf winner in France and ran well when second of eight on stable debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in January, but not matched that form in four outings since; drops in grade but best watched.

Found 1m too far here last time, but his record over C&D reads 121 and is just 1lb higher than for his latest success in April; off three months having undergone wind surgery, but has run well fresh before; interesting.

Won off 2lb lower at York (7f, good) in July, but form this year has been up and down; makes his Polytrack debut, but stable is 8-20 (40%) with its runners here in past five seasons which makes him worth a second look.

Three wins last year included two here (6f/7f); running with credit of late, but still 4lb above his last winning mark and drawn wide.

Both wins came over 5f on turf in Ireland as a 2yo; 8lb lower than when beaten a head at Goodwood (6f, heavy) a year ago, but losing run up to 18 including two goes on the AW; blinkers need to make a difference.
