Lexus Ipswich Handicap

Wearing a hood (retained) for the first time when finishing third over 1m6f at Newmarket (soft) a month ago. Having just his third start for this stable and making his AW debut for a shrewd stable here.

Registered a double over C&D back in March. Most recent of those successes came off a 4lb lower mark and he's an interesting runner returning to the AW having run poorly on turf last time out.

Successful off a 4lb lower mark over this distance at Lingfield in February and beaten 1L off a 1lb higher mark than he races off today on turf in a valuable Epsom (good) handicap subsequently. Disappointing the last twice and interesting dropping in grade today.

Twice a winner so far in an 11 race career and contesting better races than this in the main since. Disappointed over 1m2f at Beverley (good-to-soft) earlier this month however and more is needed here.

Victorious twice in an eight race career so far but well beaten in three runs for previous stable earlier this year. Races off a mark 4lb higher than for his latest success and cheekpieces worn for the first time last time out are left off today.

Winner at Newmarket (soft) over 1m2f under this jockey on his most recent outing a month ago. Returning to form following a moderate Windsor (good) effort on that occasion and races off a 5lb higher mark here.

Finished third of 14 on his most recent start over 1m2f at Newmarket (good) earlier this month. Races off a mark 2lb higher than when winning on the AW at Lingfield last November and is an interesting contender here.

Winner of two of his last three starts including over C&D off a 3lb higher mark earlier this month. Made all on that occasion and likely to have competition for the lead in this.

Successful three times in claiming/selling company in 2017 including over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last time out. Races off a mark 13lb lower than when last running on the AW and an interesting runner in this.
