Goes handicapping after three maiden starts as a juvenile with the cheekpieces on for the first time. Should improve in this sphere but hard to say this mark is a generous one.

Just the three runs for this one last year showing some promise in a couple of them and not knocked around. Goes handicapping now in a lowly grade that looks sure to suit him better although the wide draw doesn't make life easy here.

Won over C&D last year but that victory only came in a seller and even this is a better contest. Has though only run once at 7f since and it is a distance that looks to suit him best and not one to rule out too quickly off a decent mark.

Looked fairly moderate last year and showed his first form when running well on his first start as a three-year-old at Kempton Park on the AW over a mile. The longer trip looked to be the catalyst for the improved performance so a move back to 7f and a wide draw may not help.

Appeared to step forward when given the chance to compete in nursery company rather than maidens last year. Showed up well enough on his second run in a nursery here over 6f and looked to stay 7f when tried over it on his final start at Leicester and if he can get a decent position is of interest here.

Now back with a former yard and despite being well held in maidens may well have a bit more to come now he is sent handicapping.

Another to make a handicap debut here although hard to argue that there has been much promise in the maiden runs. Did show his first form last time out and this trip looks to suit him but will have to step forward again.

Seven efforts last year as a juvenile failed to trouble the judge even off marks in the 50's. The handicapper drops him further here to a platers mark over what looks to be his best trip but he does have to be ready to go.

Forecasts

Urban Spirit (10/3), Breaking Free (4/1), Four Wishes (5/1), Ching Ching Lor (6/1), Hellomoto (8/1), A Bit Of Ginger (8/1), Bismarck The Flyer (9/1), Vivardia (10/1), Pontecarlo Boy (16/1), Slave To Freedom (33/1)

Verdict

Not much recent form to go on here with plenty coming back from their winter breaks and on handicap debut. A Bit Of Ginger showed improved form last time on the AW with the 7f trip looking to help and along with Urban Spirit and Bismarck The Flyer has to be given a chance here. Hellomoto may well improve with the cheekpieces on for the first time but it’s BREAKING FREE who is of the most interest if he can get and hold a decent position here.
