racingtv.com Handicap

Smart 2yo; struggled in good handicaps last year but he has slipped down the weights and begins this campaign in a lower grade; one to keep a close eye on this year but drying ground isn't in his favour (best on soft/heavy).

Two AW wins last year; didn't run badly in a stronger handicap at Doncaster ten days ago (not well drawn as things panned out); each-way shout going back around a left-hand bend.

His two highest RPRs for Roger Varian came around a left-hand bend at Chester, winning off 1lb lower last July; ended 2025 with two lesser efforts, after which he was sold for 28,000gns; well drawn for his stable debut; market instructive.

Mixed bag this winter but he returns to turf on a handy mark; this trip probably his best and a revival could be forthcoming.

Front-runner who won five of his first eight starts for Ruth Carr in the first half of 2025; ran well in defeat in the second half of the year too, placed in the Ayr Bronze Cup off 1lb higher; six-month absence to overcome but he shouldn't be underestimated.
