Decent fourth in a 7f handicap at Doncaster (good-to-firm) last time out. Looks in the grip of the handicapper at present however and is stepping up in distance.

Form: 324-564

Placed on both starts this term including when third over an extended 1m at Beverley (good) last time out. Races off the same mark and is an interesting runner in this contest.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 75

11/8

Off the mark at the third attempt when winning a 7f novice contest at Salisbury (firm) a fortnight ago. One to note for a leading yard on handicap debut.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: A Elliott| T: S G West| OR: 67| D

20/1

Returned to form when winning by a head over this trip at Carlisle (good-to-firm) three weeks ago. Raised 3lb for that success and more needed in this contest.

16/1

Stepped up on previous efforts when finishing ¼L third over 1m at Windsor (good-to-firm) in a novice contest at the start of the month. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

20/1

Best effort so far this season came when beaten 2L into third over 1m1f at Redcar (good-to-firm) last time out. Interesting to see how he fares here.

Forecasts

Bedouin's Story (11/8), Keepup Kevin (7/2), Deadly Accurate (5/1), Noble Star (6/1), Fleeting Freedom (6/1), Beat The Judge (16/1), Woody Bay (20/1), Amood (20/1), Star Gypsy (25/1)

The concluding race on the card can go the way of KEEPUP KEVIN who has placed on both starts so far this season. Trainer Pam Sly has her string in good form (2/6) at present and her representative can get the better of handicap debutant Bedouin's Story here. Third place can go to Fleeting Freedom who is improving with racing this term and was placed last time out.
