Unibet Supports Safer Gambling Handicap

2-2 in Tapeta novices (6f/7f) for Ollie Pears in the autumn, but held in three starts on dirt/turf for this yard at Meydan; tongue-tie added to hood for handicap debut; drawn widest but market can guide; reared over in stable and withdrawn at Lingfield this month; non-runner.

Has been competitive or more when away from Group company and a strongly run race back at 7f should suit; others still appeal more from a handicapping perspective.

Beat one who is now on a mark of 95 off level weights at Southwell in October (7f); blotted his copybook by playing up before breaking out of the stalls on intended return/handicap debut in 1m contest at Ascot this month (11-2 at the time of withdrawal); cheekpieces replace blinkers; has the talent to play a major role.

Good third on C&D debut in September (winner subsequently won the Dante; second won his next two starts) and got the job done at Yarmouth next time (7f); fair return in quite a hot novice at that track 46 days ago, particularly as he raced freely in a first-time hood (left off here) stepping up to 1m; gelded since; has been gelded; key player on handicap debut from rail draw.

Readily won first two handicaps on Tapeta this year (1m/7f); unable to get into the same kind of rhythm back on turf last time and he's passed over in another competitive heat.
