Golf And Gallop Handicap (Div II)

Won two 5f handicaps on turf this summer; ran right up to his recent best when third over C&D four weeks ago and he races off the same mark today; needs a good pace but that looks assured given the make up of this field.

Front-runner; two turf wins this season and he also ran a cracker over 5.4f at York's Ebor meeting; drops in class but still to convince he is as good on AW as turf.

Started the campaign in good form, notably when second of 22 at the Dante meeting at York (5f, good to firm); his progress has stalled more recently though and hopes rest on the drop into Class 4 company perking him up.

Three 5f wins on turf this year, the latest at Pontefract last month; has run well over C&D in the past and he's not dismissed back down in class.

Hasn't had many chances on AW but he looked good over C&D last spring and he picked up smartly to beat eight rivals at Chelmsford last month; this is a higher grade but a 4lb rise is fair enough and he still has a bit of potential.
