Has performed and won off much higher marks in the past and was a useful enough sprinter. Shown glimpses of his old form of late on turf off a reduced mark but needs everything to drop right in order to win.

Finally off the mark at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in August and ran well again at Musselburgh last month over minimum trip. Entitled to get involved on AW return off current rating.

Two-time C&D winner, both in December 2016, has been on the premises a couple of times this year and potentially well-handicapped if ready to go off 153-day layoff.

First-time hood brought marked improvement over C&D in September when close second, built on that to win 10 days later. Raised 4lb but can figure again.

Winner over C&D in November 2016 off mark of 55, won a lowly Kempton contest last month over the trip but since run poor race at Wolverhampton. Probably going to find a couple better equipped on recent form.

Achieved nothing of note since leaving Ann Duffield and returning from a two-year break. Fourth to Lady Of The Lamp in C&D maiden 42 days ago. May want a bit further, makes handicap debut.

Remains a maiden after 24 attempts, mark is sliding all the time but doesn't yet appeal in what isn't a strong contest.

Lightly-raced in recent years and returning from over a year off when well beaten at Catterick (6f, good to soft) and Southwell (6f, AW) last month. Hard to make a case for dramatic turnaround.

Heavy defeats all six starts on turf, going off triple figure prices in five of them. Cheekpieces on first time for handicap/AW debut, but easier to bypass on this occasion.

Forecasts

Young Tiger (4/6), Imperial Legend (4/1), Our Place In Loule (8/1), Lady Joanna Vassa (9/1), Yair Hill (10/1), Encoded (16/1), Vecheka (20/1), Novabridge (20/1), Clouded Gold (33/1), Kirkby's Phantom (100/1)

Verdict

YOUNG TIGER has really picked things up since the hood was added to his raceday attire, going close first-time over C&D and duly scoring ten days later. He's been given a short break since but must rate the likeliest winner upped 4lb if he returns in the same form. This second division handicap lacks depth, meaning Imperial Legend can also come into the reckoning on his old form, having hit the frame on turf lately. Similarly, Novabridge is weighted for a good run if ready after his break while Our Place In Loule has been in better form on turf and is noted coming back to this surface as such.
  1. Young Tiger
  2. Imperial Legend
  3. Our Place In Loule
