Attempted to make all when beaten a head in a seven runner 1m3f contest on the AW at Kempton last month. Won off a 2lb higher mark over C&D in July last year and likely to run well once more.

Campaigned over shorter in the main but ran well when beaten 1½L into fourth over this distance at Newbury (good-to-firm) on his seasonal debut last month. Well beaten eighth dropping to 1m at Chelmsford five days later and interesting returning to this trip today

Beaten a head as an odds-on favourite over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton back in January but made amends when winning over 1m at Chelmsford next time out. Beaten 1½L into fifth off this 5lb higher mark subsequently and steps up in trip today.

Well beaten in four starts for this yard including over 1m2f at Lingfield in December. Sole start since came when finishing last of seven over 1m at the same venue the following month and he looks likely to find a few too good in this.

Victorious off a 4lb lower mark over 1m4f at Kempton in January on his final start for his previous trainer. Well held over the same C&D on debut for this stable last month and will need to bounce back to figure today.

Beaten ½L into second over 1m4f at Salisbury (good-to-firm) in July. Well beaten since including on his first run since being gelded at Wolverhampton in November and makes his seasonal debut off the same mark that he won off at Doncaster over an extended 1m2f last April.

Forecasts

Prendergast Hill (11/4), Eskendash (3/1), Shargiah (4/1), Captain Courageous (11/2), Ripoll (8/1), Sark (12/1), Choral Clan (25/1), Bergholt (25/1), Best Example (33/1)

Verdict

ESKENDASH can make a winning handicap debut following his Kempton maiden victory last time out. The four-year-old had been busy through the jumps season placing in four bumpers and is taken to get the better of Prendergast Hill who was beaten a head at Kempton last time out while Ripoll looks likely to appreciate this return to 1m2f judged on his run over 7f at Chelmsford last month.
