Whitsbury Manor Stud Supporting Inspire Foundation Handicap

Returning from a lengthy absence and wearing first-time cheekpieces, he was beaten seven lengths at Bath on his comeback; he has shown he enjoys bowling along from the front and is effective over today's trip, though he has more to prove after a modest reappearance.

Won at Goodwood three starts back, looking in good nick for a spell before running far too freely to do himself justice on his latest outing; back on the same mark and adding cheekpieces for the first time, he is capable of better over this trip on any going.

Won at Bath by a short margin three starts back and ran with credit until an off-day in stronger company last time; wearing a first-time tongue-tie and back in softer grade, 1lb below her last winning mark, she looks a live threat on a sound surface.

Took a contest at Southwell convincingly three starts back before struggling under a higher mark in a more competitive setting last time; now rated 2lb lower, but his current level remains a concern, though he handles any going and has enough ability to place.

Nowhere near his best in a handicap at Windsor on his most recent outing, failing to find any extra when asked; his form has deteriorated and he is difficult to enthuse about at present, despite being effective on a range of going.
