Dr T B Connors Memorial Handicap

No comments available for this runner.

Progressive and coming off back-to-back wins, Pentonville landed a handicap at Brighton last time off a mark 6lb lower, finishing strongly to score, and top course connections add further confidence; effective at 1m-10f on a sound surface. A penalty makes the task harder and he needs to handle the rise in the weights.

Produced a sound effort at Lingfield last time despite a slow start, going down by just over 3l off a slightly higher mark, and Ritaal handles 7-8f effectively; first-time cheekpieces applied here. Our figures put her below the top horses in the race and she needs more to win.

The reappearance run at Thirsk was below his best but that run can be forgiven, and Napolian has consistently been in the frame in recent starts over 6f on today's type of going; if he bounces back to form he looks a genuine danger. Second-ranked on our figures with solid placed form is a strong foundation.

Landing a handicap at Bath by 2l last time off a mark 5lb lower, moving up through the field in good style, Station Bar handles 6-8f on good and artificial ground; the 5lb rise in the weights is the question.
