William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap

Can lead; Naas maiden (6f, good) winner in August for Michael O'Callaghan who wasn't disgraced in a brief two-race spell on AW for Ken Condon; bought for 18,000gns in January; potentially in the best stall and sole start at 7f was inconclusive so heed the market signals on this stable debut/reappearance.

Gelded and well backed when making all on handicap debut at Newcastle in December; runner-up on his next three starts but form dipped at Southwell (also 7f, AW) towards the end of March; having just his second go on turf and could be well drawn to attack.

Useful filly for Eve Johnson Houghton, readily made all in Epsom maiden (7f, good; Assaranca 4l second) in July; transferred to Neil Mulholland (same owners) but it was a low-key start when last of six in conditions race at Kempton (1m, AW) on her comeback in March; needs to put that behind her on this handicap debut.

Maiden and novice winner (6f, good to firm/good) last summer who was a shade disappointing when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Newbury (good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and his neck second of 13 at Newmarket (also 7f, good) was much more like it on his comeback last month; mixed messages have come out of that race but still commands plenty of respect.

Good start when third on AW here (7f) in November and didn't need to improve to beat 11 others returned to that C&D the following month; interesting to see blinkers go on for this handicap/turf debut but still of clear interest on his reappearance.
