Maiden after eight starts but put in a career best effort when beaten a head in a first time hood (retained) over this C&D last week. Races off a 2lb higher mark today.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when scoring over 6f at Chepstow (good-to-firm) last week. Carries a 6lb penalty for that success and likely to try and make all once more.

Both wins so far have come on the AW but ran well on debut for this stable when finishing runner-up over 7f at Chepstow (good-to-firm) last month. Interesting runner off the same mark here.

Finished runner-up on each of her last three starts in maiden company including when wearing cheekpieces (left off today) for the first time last time out. Interesting to see how she fares on her handicap debut here.

Decent effort when finishing third of 11 over 1m at Newmarket (soft) on seasonal debut in May. Held twice since however and more needed to take this.

Forecasts

Dance Teacher (4/1), Cadeaux Boxer (11/2), Sheikspear (6/1), Mutoondresdashorse (6/1), World Power (7/1), Hedging (17/2), Bounty Pursuit (11/1), Harry Beau (11/1), Big Chill (12/1), Tifl (50/1)

Verdict

BOUNTY PURSUIT ran well when finishing runner-up at Chepstow last month and can follow that up by taking this competitive 7f handicap on just his second start for this stable. Of the selections rivals today Cadeaux Boxer ran well when beaten a head last time out and can claim second in this with last weeks Chepstow winner Sheikspear the selection to finish third.
