David Hardie Engineering Ltd Handicap

Back-to-back 5f wins last August saw her soar up the weights; struggled in Listed company on her final two runs last year and she was again well held on her seasonal return at Ripon last month; down in class today and a better run is expected.

In good order on AW over the winter, going close off this mark twice following a Class 4 win in November; returning to turf not a bother and he can't be discounted.

He ran his best race for current connections when third of five at Catterick five weeks ago (6f, good; blinkers first time); dropped 2lb but suspicion he will remain vulnerable.

Good efforts on his last three starts, not quite able to peg back Law Of Average's advantage when second at Bath four weeks ago (5f, firm); 2lb better off today and he should give his running again.

Progressive 3yo but his form headed south last year; back to winning ways when making all at Bath (5f, firm) four weeks ago; his head carriage has always been a bit ungainly but he's tough to pass when on song; major player despite the 4lb rise.
