Travis Perkins Scotland Handicap

Came good at 13th attempt, making all to fend off warm favourite at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) last month; should be fine on the forecast faster ground here and recent 4lb rise does not look excessive.

Well beaten on both 2yo starts and probably didn't achieve huge amount when well-held third of five in Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) won easily by 2-13 favourite last month; open to improvement in handicaps, though.

Scored off basement mark at Catterick (7f, good) a fortnight ago, opening her account at the ninth attempt; should cope with this return to 1m and further progress is not out of the question.

Found things happening too quickly before eventually keeping on for fairly respectable sixth of nine on handicap debut at Carlisle (6f, good) a week ago; could plausibly be seen in a better light over this longer trip.

Unplaced all four 2yo starts, most recently when last of nine over C&D (good to soft) on nursery debut in September; needs to have made good progress during 264-day break.
