Newsteam Group Handicap

Five-race maiden who finished well down the field in first two handicaps (1m/1m3f); drops back in trip here; remains unexposed but could be considered only if lively in the betting.

Scored off 2lb lower over C&D in February and has remained in good form, most recently when fourth of 15 on turf (8.3f, good) three weeks ago; ought to be on the premises again.

Ended last season with string of good efforts on turf, including a win at Epsom (8.5f good) and second in higher-grade company at Newmarket (1m, good); not yet proven on AW, though, and his fitness must be taken on trust.

Signed off for Darryll Holland with a below-par run at Kempton in January but had gone close off today's mark over C&D a few days earlier and it will be interesting to see what James Owen can do with him (same owner).

Looked in excellent nick on last month's stable debut, gaining clearcut C&D win in first-time cheekpieces; not quite in same form when fourth off new mark here three weeks later but still considered.
