Leicester maiden winner in April, ran well again last month at Newbury over this sort of trip off current rating and no reason not to play a hand in the finish here on that evidence.

2/1
Best effort to date on third start in 1m2f Pontefract maiden last month, beaten just over 2L in third of six runners. Opening handicap mark is not overly taxing if finding some improvement here, trainer/jockey combined to good effect at Goodwood yesterday.

Close up in fourth over this sort of trip last month at Newbury, commands respect on that effort and could see some improvement now with first-time cheekpieces applied.

Made light work of C&D contest last month to score first success at sixth time of asking. Up 8lb on strength of that but no certainty he'll be halted. Capable of better seemingly and yard thriving lately.

Verdict

The manner in which PADRINHO put his C&D win to bed last month strongly hints that he'll be capable of defying an 8lb hike in the ratings on just his seventh outing. He moved clear readily and with Jim Best's yard flourishing at the moment, he's taken to double up. Ingleby Mackenzie made the breakthrough last time at Doncaster and should handle this longer journey, giving him a chance form just 2lb higher. Flight Of Fantasy and handicap debutant Precision are the other pair worth of consideration.
