Sheephaven Bay And Tipsytipsters Remembering Boony Handicap

Finished a close second here last time, beaten just half a length off a mark 1lb lower than today's; well suited to the mile on sound going and now in first-time cheekpieces, she is the clear pick at the head of the figures.

Suited to today's trip and going, and first-time blinkers could prompt a change of direction after a run of disappointing efforts; he has been well off his best in recent outings so improvement is needed, but the conditions are right and the headgear change keeps him involved.

Won a race in recent starts and went within a short-head of following up last time, arriving 1lb higher here; acts on this sort of ground and has a clear affinity with Brighton, though he needs to build on that close effort to threaten the front rank.

Off the course for over 200 days and in unconvincing form prior to that absence, with a series of well-beaten runs; he acts on turf and has a record at this venue, but consistency has been a persistent concern and he rates a difficult proposition here.

Won here last time in dominant style by over 3 lengths, landing a handicap with authority; he has been in fine heart of late with his yard going well too, and first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces add interest, though a 4lb penalty for that success makes this a stiffer task.
