Sky Bet Build A Bet Handicap

Nine course wins to his name from 22 starts here (3-7 over C&D); in good form of late, having spent last year in the grip of the handicapper, but that was over 7f and whether he still has the toe for 5f, at his age off this mark, is the question; yard also runs Woohoo.

Most wins have come on the AW but he is fine on turf (2-11) and turned in another in-form effort at Nottingham three weeks ago; there's little wiggle room off this mark (3lb above his highest successful rating) and he'll need a career best if he's to win.

As good as ever on Tapeta lately, albeit turned over as favourite on last two outings; returns to turf 3lb above his highest winning mark and at the age of seven (no surprise to see Rhys Elliott up to take off 5lb) and he will need to get things bang on.

Looked flattered from the front in a small field on his handicap debut last July, since when he's struggled; well held on his Southwell comeback (won his novice on Tapeta) early last month and may need some help from the handicapper.

Patchy last season and more of the same this term, failing to build on a Tapeta win off 3lb lower in three runs since; latest effort in first-time blinkers is readily ignored but it's hard to know what to expect for a yard also responsible for Mon Na Slieve.
