Completing a double when winning over C&D off a 9lb lower mark early last month. Ran well in a valuable contest when beaten a head in first time cheekpieces (replaced by blinkers here) at Musselburgh earlier this month and very interesting following a further 3lb rise.
Maiden after five starts but beaten just 1L when third over six over 1m6f at Sandown (good) earlier this month. Races off a 1lb higher mark here and an interesting runner in this.
Victorious over 1m4f at Kempton in January and best effort since being gelded subsequently came when runner-up over 1m4f at Beverley (good-to-firm) in April. Held since however and wears blinkers for the first time here.
Successful over 1m6f at Wetherby (good) last month but struggled off his revised 4lb higher mark in first time cheekpieces (left off here) when sixth of nine at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) subsequently. Races off the same mark here.
Forecasts
Alabaster (4/5), Splash Around (11/4), The Blues Master (6/1), Cray (7/1)
ALABASTER had a couple of today's rivals behind him when finishing runner-up at Musselburgh last time out and he can register a third career success in six starts by taking this four runner AW handicap. Of his rivals here Splash Around ran well when tackling this trip for the first time at Sandown last time out and he can claim second at the expense of The Blues Master and Cray with the former preferred wearing blinkers for the first time here.
- Alabaster
- Splash Around
- The Blues Master
