Has dropped 10lb this year after a string of defeats, though his best effort was when making the frame over 7f here in May from 9lb higher. Very interesting on his first start for this yard now dropped in grade and with a good draw.
Scored from 4lb higher at Wolverhampton (1m½f) in March and beaten just over 2L from 2lb higher at Thirsk in August, so has the ability to get involved. However, also inconsistent and carries risks (beaten favourite last time).
All three AW wins were at Wolverhampton, the last of them from 5lb lower in March 2016. Looks to have had issues since then, with only three more runs and well beaten each time, so now has plenty to prove.
Scored over this trip at Dundalk last year from 7lb lower and went well there next time from just 1lb lower. Has since been held by the handicapper and will need cheek pieces to have a significant effect if he is to end his losing run.
Won three times on AW surfaces in the winter of 2015/16, the last of them from 15lb higher. However, very little cause for encouragement since then and beaten 16L from just 2lb higher last time, so impossible to recommend today.
Drops back in trip today after two decent efforts in defeat over 1m2f at both Beverley and Newcastle (AW). Same mark today as when held by just ½L last time and looks a contender on that evidence.
Runs here for the first time but plenty of encouragement from her latest effort, when a neck winner at Newcastle (1m, AW). Up 2lb for that, but ought to remain competitive under her top pilot.
Sole AW success was over 7f at Wolverhampton in January, when 7lb lower. However, ran really well to be beaten just ¾L over 7f here last time and from the same mark and with the inside draw, he should go very close.
Has not yet got hugely competitive in handicap company at trips from 1m-1m2f. Visits this venue for the first time today, but is up 2lb in the handicap and is not easy to recommend at present.
0-12 so far but went close here over 7f two starts ago and also runner-up at Southwell (7f, AW) last time. A 1lb rise puts him out of the handicap by the same amount and with stamina to prove, he may be playing for places at best again.
Forecasts
Paved With Gold (3/1), Beepeecee (4/1), Kilbaha Lady (4/1), Lord Kitten (5/1), Celtic Artisan (6/1), Marbooh (8/1), Breaking Free (14/1), Ellaal (20/1), Medici Moon (33/1), St Patrick's Day (50/1)
Lord Kitten has claims going into this on the back of a really good effort at Newcastle last time, while Kilbaha Lady and Beepeecee are others for the short-list. However, MARBOOH has now dropped in grade and is on a handy mark, so the top weight is suggested in this, as he may be capable of a revival now for his new handler.
- Marbooh
- Lord Kitten
- Beepeecee
