Been in good form so far this season and registered a second career success when winning over 7f on good ground here last month. Interesting despite a 7lb rise in the weights for that victory.

Ran well on seasonal debut when a neck second over 7f at Thirsk (good) in April but well held off this 3lb higher mark on the AW at Newcastle subsequently and needs to bounce back to figure here.

Signs of ability in three maiden races but well held in first time cheekpieces (retained) over 1m at Newcastle on handicap debut last October. Making his first start since being gelded today and draw could have been kinder here.

Forecasts

Nothing To Lose (6/4), Dark Profit (5/2), Major Crispies (6/1), Jay Kay (8/1), Royal Duchess (12/1), Dark Crystal (12/1), Control Centre (14/1), Sea Of Green (16/1), Vallarta (20/1), Gun Case (20/1), Destination Aim (50/1), Inglorious (66/1)

Verdict

NOTHING TO LOSE has finished runner-up in competitive handicaps the last twice in Ireland including off this mark last time. The selection has no concerns about the forecast ground and can take this on his first outing at this course. Dark Profit was successful over C&D last time and can claim second off his revised mark while Jay Kay can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him by finishing third in this.
