3/1

Has run some fair races but remains a maiden and connections appear to be struggling a little as to find his ideal. Ran respectably last time out without shouting he was a next time winner and probably needs to settle better to win a race.

2/5

Slow away bit looks a typical improver from this yard now that he's been given a chance over a trip such as this having only run at up to 7f before. Likely to progress more even under a penalty here and could run up a sequence.

Photonics^b⁷

10/1

Second over C&D in first-time blinkers taking on his elders for the first time was very much his best performance on his last start. Did best of those that raced on the pace and off the same mark here but may well have run into one.

Form: 060-902

Forecasts

Matchmaking (2/5), Berkshire Spirit (3/1), Photonics (10/1)

It was hardly any surprise to see MATCHMAKING improve greatly for a step up in trip going handicapping for the first time and it looks as though Sir Mark Prescott has a plan for him (he’s already got an entry after this one). Life will be a little tougher here but neither Berkshire Spirit or Photonics should be able to trouble him off their relative marks although both should win a race in due course.
