Off the mark in a three-runner 1m6f Salisbury handicap run on heavy ground in April, but has been held in two subsequent contests. Faster going and this shorter trip does not appeal as an ideal combination.
Only limited promise in novice/maiden company and first run in a handicap at Doncaster over 1m6½ revealed little improvement. Back in distance off 3lb lower, but has questions to answer.
Landed a Leicester nursery in the autumn, but has failed to hit the frame in three starts this season. Not one of the more obvious winners given his recent form.
Not disgraced in handicaps on last two starts and seemed to stay this trip well enough at Beverley when last seen in May. Down 1lb and respected stable remains in good form.
Little to write home about in four starts as a juvenile, but has stamina in his pedigree and he takes a big rise in distance on his handicap debut/reappearance. Just the sort his shrewd trainer excels with and very much one to note in the betting.
Shed her maiden tag in a minor Brighton event in April, but was well held off this mark in a Windsor handicap last time. May be capable of better.
Good efforts to be placed in handicaps on last two starts over this distance. Up 2lb since the first of those, but seems to be progressing and is likely to give another good show.

Happy Ending (3/1), Onefootinfront (10/3), Master Grey (7/2), Dubai Frame (9/2), Timoshenko (6/1), Poetic Affair (7/1), Oenophile (9/1), Galloping Hogan (14/1)
Dubai Frame, Master Grey and Oenophile seem high enough in the weights for what they have achieved and Galloping Hogan is struggling to recapture his juvenile form. Poetic Affair and Onefootinfront appeal with improvement on the cards, but the really interesting one is TIMONSHENKO. His juvenile form is ordinary to say the least, but he is from a yard which does tremendously well with horses stepping up in trip in handicap company and he will surely be a different proposition this season.
- Timoshenko
- Onefootinfront
- Poetic Affair
