A hard individual to trust with a losing run that now stretches back to 2015 although the handicapper has given him a chance. Would not be a big surprise for this yard to get a win or two out of him but it's hard to say when.
Showed some useful form last year when he notched up three wins but yet to find his form this year and was well held last time and the blinkers are applied now.
Took advantage of her lower mark on turf at Yarmouth in May ending a long losing run but hasn't really fired in a couple of starts since then. She has generally struggled on marks over 80 in current times and that may well be the case again here.
An easy ground win at Goodwood on his penultimate start looked to signal some further improvement was likely. However he was well below that form last time out off a 6lb higher mark at Nottingham but can't be totally written off here.
Has looked on the up of late with two wins coming on the AW at Wolverhampton (maiden) and at Newcastle on his handicap debut. Stepped up in grade for his last start at Ascot he was a little unlucky to run into a fast improving duo and this slight ease back in grade gives him a leading chance.
In fine form last year when completing a handicap hat-trick before struggling to win off higher marks later in the year albeit still running with credit. Shaped nicely on her return to action in July at Ascot where she was caught without cover from a wide draw and that run gives her something to build on.
The sole handicap debutante in the field representing a top yard she also makes her seasonal reappearance after improving on her debut as a juvenile to win on the Rowley Mile in October. Looks the type to go on improving but may just need this but should be noted in the market.
Scored on her final start last year when with her previous yard but her two runs for her current connections have appeared to show little and she's best watched here returning to turf.
Forecasts
Yellowhammer (7/2), Pastime (4/1), Titan Goddess (4/1), Artscape (6/1), Bint Dandy (13/2), Ower Fly (7/1), Palawan (20/1), Gabrielle (28/1)
Some interesting and dangerous types for handicaps here most with handicap form to their names so far but the one without any form in this sphere Yellowhammer is of major interest but she may just need this outing. Artscape would be one to note if he could bounce back from his poor outing last time with Titan Goddess having an opportunity to build on her promising run at Ascot last time. PASTIME is the main selection overall though having looked a progressive sort in two AW wins and a very solid outing at Ascot last time.
- Pastime
- Titan Goddess
- Yellowhammer
