Difficult to catch right and has won three races from 48 Flat starts. Without a win here in 14 visits and has a hard task at the weights.

Winner here over 1m4f off a 1lb lower mark when making all. Has struggled in better grade since over different trips. Interesting now dropped in the weights and on a track that obviously suits.

Only win came in this grade at Bath over 1m2f. One to note in the market now dropped to this level with top rider booked (3-15 for yard)

Produced late to score here in January over 1m4f when visor was fitted for first time. Ridden more prominently over further next time when failing to see out the trip. Winning rider retains the mount and one for the shortlist.

Back with trainer for whom he won two races before picking up a race for Ian Williams' yard last summer. All those victories have come over 1m and attempts over further have been fruitless. Likely to need the run following a break.

On a losing sequence stretching back to December 2015 yet remains above his last winning mark. Reportedly burst a blood vessel last time and finished last of 12 prior to that. Hard to recommend.

Sole win came in this grade in October under today's rider. Struggled off today's mark next time on debut for current trainer. Probably best watched for now.

Winner here over a mile under today's rider before encountering traffic problems in an amateur rider's race last time. Handicapper has given him a chance if he stays.

Has appeared not to stay this far in the past but no doubting the handicap mark looks attractive. In form rider on board.

Official rating has now dropped below his last winning mark. Recent signs have been more encouraging. Ran well here over C&D last April so definitely one to consider.

Forecasts

Zephyros (4/1), Halling's Wish (5/1), Shining Romeo (5/1), Betsalottie (13/2), Runaiocht (13/2), Henry Grace (7/1), Tommys Geal (8/1), Mr Frankie (20/1), Power Up (28/1), Mcdelta (40/1)

Verdict

ZEPHYROS has one win and a second from three previous runs at this level. Dropped in class and with a positive jockey booking, the hint looks worth taking. Betsalottie has been shaping as though his turn is near and he could reach a place at a good price. Halling's Wish is feared for shrewd connections now that he is back on a track that brings out the best in him
  1. Zephyros
