Pump Technology Jonathan And Natalie Handicap

Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted.

His losing run is gathering momentum and he has not won over 5f for three years; went close at Goodwood last month (5f, good) though and he should remain a potent force at this level.

First past the post four times in succession in the second half of 2025 (demoted to fourth on the third occasion); she has carried on the good work this year, finishing second in three of her four starts; more required to defy this mark and she still has a bit to prove on turf.

Better strike-rate on turf than AW; solid third at Windsor three weeks ago (for Chloe Lyons) and has a chance if in the same form; finished behind a couple of today's rivals in a C&D handicap last summer.

Ran well for third on her stable debut at Bath in April (5f, good); fair effort three weeks later but she took a backwards step 20 days ago; edging down the weights but others look safer.
