Cigalus Gerard Bertrand Wines Handicap

Two from two after a comfortable win at Doncaster on his return to action, justifying favouritism again. Will need to step up again to take this but his 9lb rise is justified and he has any amount of improvement in him. Should go well provided the step back down in trip doesn't catch him out.

Defeated when odds-on at Chelmsford but no great shame in finishing second to a potentially smart John Gosden horse and he gained compensation by winning at Haydock on his comeback. Needs more now and he may struggle to justify his entries in both the Irish Guineas and the Investec Derby.

Slowly away when off the mark at the second time of asking over 7f at Salisbury but didn't get away with a slow start last time at Chepstow when it probably cost him the win. This looks a deeper race but he's only up 1lb and he can't be ruled out if he breaks a little better.

One win from eight starts and more exposed than most in here. Fair effort behind Emenem last time at Epsom and yard are in flying form but others almost certainly better handicapped.

Beneficiary of a smart ride at Thirsk on debut and not beaten far at Windsor last time. Due to go up 7lb for that effort with the front three all finishing clear of the remainder so has to be considered once again.

Step up in trip on handicap debut could see him in a better light and he has the services of one of the world's best in the saddle but he's raced green on all three of his starts and he'll need to have come on plenty for his recent reappearance at Chelmsford.

One win from 11 starts and more exposed than most in this field. Would probably like a strong pace to aim at but he likes scope from a handicapping perspective.

Unplaced on all three starts and needs to learn to settle better in his races. Best watched on return to action despite the trainer holding a fair record with break returners.

Always looked the type to do better in handicaps and so it proved when he finished third (positively ridden) last time over a mile at Chepstow off a 1lb lower mark. Should go on improving as he steps up in trip but others hold more pressing claims.
