Watch Racing TV In Stunning HD Handicap

Possibly stretched by 1m when sixth of nine back on turf at Thirsk last weekend (final start for Stephen Hanlon); new stable is quick to fit him with a tongue-tie and send him back to scene of his only turf win (on good to firm last summer); due to be 2lb lower from the weekend but still worth a betting check.

Front-runner who landed his fourth 7f Newcastle success of the year when seeing off 13 rivals last month; his 2lb nudge for that is offset by his rider's claim; 0-4 on turf but probably a bit premature to suggest he won't prove fully effective on the grass.

Has added to his strong record over 7f at Catterick with a pair of runner-up efforts on good last month; successful on his fast-ground C&D debut, which was his only previous visit to Redcar; should go well again.

Capable of fair form but he failed to go on for John and Thady Gosden last season and didn't offer obvious promise in two outings for this yard last month.

Gained sole turf success in 2021 and it's two years since last AW win; 0-5 for current stable but he could strip fitter for his Beverley reappearance a fortnight ago.
