Racing Value At bet365 Handicap (Div II)

Placed on consecutive 8.6f starts here in April but absent since running poorly over 9.4f in May and may find 7f a bit sharp nowadays.

Made rather disappointing return from 343-day absence when well-held fourth in 1m Pontefract maiden last month but his three 2yo runs were all promising and he remains unexposed; switches to AW for handicap debut.

Gained all three wins over 6f but stays 7f perfectly well; competitive in much stronger races than this in recent months and did quite well to finish sixth over C&D 12 days ago, having raced far too freely in the early stages; 2lb lower now and can be dangerous if he settles better this time.

Came good with two 6f turf wins in May/June and has remained in good form over 7f since (including on Tapeta); current mark is probably not beyond him; likely to be on the premises again.

Still a maiden after eight runs but was seemingly aided by first-time blinkers when close third over C&D 12 days ago and has obvious claims if in similar form again.
