11/2

Signs of ability in three starts so far most recently when seventh over 7f at Wolverhampton in March. Gelded and had wind surgery since and market support would be notable on handicap debut.

7/4

Held in both starts in handicap company most recently when eighth of ten over 1m at Newmarket (good-to-firm) last month. This looks a weaker contest and he is of interest on this occasion.

Form: 34-648

Forecasts

Bataar (7/4), Chop Chop (5/1), Clem A (5/1), Global Destination (11/2), Eye Of The Water (6/1), Moveonup (7/1), Invincible One (8/1), Song of The Isles (14/1), Mystical Jadeite (14/1), Sussex Solo (16/1), Grandad's Legacy (20/1), Quemonda (20/1), Adena Star (25/1), Exousia (25/1), Paddy's Pursuit (33/1), Ragstone Cowboy (50/1), Axel Jacklin (50/1)

EYE OF THE WATER has shown some decent form for this grade in recent times and he looks capable of registering a victory in this competitive handicap. Clem A showed promise on debut for this yard and with headgear tried he can take second spot ahead of Bataar who tackled a stronger contest last time out.
