5/2

Makes handicap/stable debut after achieving a fair level of form in his short career so far. Very lightly raced in comparison to a couple in this contest. Could prove an entirely different proposition in this sphere. Intriguing contender.

Form: 63-2

Gold Arrow¹⁵

10/3

Encouraging reappearance run at this track two starts back, but not so good last time when only managing to finish sixth at Newmarket (7f; good to soft). 2lb lower for that effort but this is competitive and she is vulnerable to improvers.

Form: 2411-36

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 79

5/4

Well clear of the rest when bumping into the ultra-progressive Nahaarr at Newmarket (7f; good) last week. Would hold a chance if able to reproduce that level of form but he is much more exposed than others in the line-up.

Form: 46-7462

9/1

Better form achieved on AW. Soft ground possibly to blame last time when seventh of 10 at Doncaster (6f; soft). Had finished a respectable second prior to that disappointment but that was in a weaker race than this at Yarmouth (7f; good to firm).

Form: 161727

Kind Review¹⁸

16/1

Not disgraced despite finishing midfield in maidens the last twice. Switches to handicaps off a lowly mark and although this is competitive, he could sneak a place. Definitely has a future in this sphere.

Forecasts

I Am A Dreamer (5/4), Enough Already (5/2), Boston George (3/1), Gold Arrow (10/3), Hesslewood (4/1), Havana Ooh Na Na (9/1), Kind Review (16/1)

A three-year-old handicap which has a tight look to it with I Am A Dreamer on of the main players after he posted a sound effort behind the upwardly mobile Nahaarr at Newmarket last week. The lightly raced duo of Enough Already and BOSTON GEORGE are the pair to focus on though, with their lightly raced profiles making plenty of appeal. The former has progressed with each start and should enjoy plenty of success at this level, but preference is for the latter who did well on his seasonal return to split two above-average sorts when conceding a penalty. He should improve plenty from that and the booking of the in-form Danny Tudhope is a major positive too.
