Humberside Airport Handicap

Landed a handicap at Doncaster three starts back off a 3lb lower mark — effective over 10-12f on a sound surface and drops 1lb from a well-beaten latest effort; the mark still looks testing and there is ground to make up on the race leader on ratings.

A course-and-distance winner who showed progressive form until a poor effort up in class last time — back at the same level here on the same official rating, effective over 8-10f on this ground and carries two wins in recent starts; a significant upturn in form is required but drops into a far weaker contest.

Back in form when going down by three-quarters of a length in a close finish last time, off a 1lb lower mark — benefited from being ridden up with the pace at a sharp track, stays well over 10f and acts on this surface; first-time tongue-tie applied and the recent return to form looks genuine enough.

Beaten a head last time off this exact mark, putting up a sound performance at the distance and going — back in form and our ratings place this firmly at the head of the market; without a win in recent starts but consistently close, and conditions are right.

Failed to land a blow last time out having missed the break, finishing down the field in poor form — now 4lb below last winning mark and first-time cheekpieces are applied; effective over 8-10f on this ground but without a win in recent starts and needs a significant step forward.
