Tennent's Lager Handicap

Showed some spark on AW earlier this spring and he's 3lb lower than when winning at Haydock (1m, good) last August; not written off but he's been below par on turf on his last two starts and has to raise his game.

Ran five times for the Gosdens, winning a maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good) last July; no threat when sixth of ten at 9-1 on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) but this well-bred 4yo may have needed that run and is just the type his new trainer does very well with; a possible.

Made debut last September and improved with each of his first three runs, winning at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in October when last seen; Newmarket trainer Roger Varian has a very healthy 29% strike-rate here and this well-bred 4yo has considerable potential off his opening mark.

Rejuvenated on AW late last year, winning two in a row at Newcastle (1m); it's possible he'll improve for last month's outing at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm; seventh of ten), which was his first of the year, but he needs to prove he can transfer his AW resurgence back to turf.

Down the field at Musselburgh (where she won last September) and Ascot on her three starts this season; she needs to get back on track but seven visits to Ayr have yielded five wins and the return to this track may well prompt a revival.
