Ran well to be 2L third in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket (good-to-firm) on his penultimate start. Held fifth at Pontefract (1m2f, good) subsequently however and is seeking a first handicap success.
Victorious in a 1m handicap at Pontefract (good-to-firm) in early May and put a slightly below par effort behind him when a close second at Haydock (1m, good-to-soft) last time out. One to note stepping up in distance.
Finished fourth on both starts since returning from a break including when beaten 9L at Newbury (1m, soft) last time out. Stepping up in distance racing off a mark 1lb higher than for his most recent success.
Impressive 8L winner of a novice event over this trip at Ripon (good) in May. Decent fourth upped to 1m4f on handicap debut at Salisbury (good-to-firm) subsequently and shapes as if the return to this trip will suit.
Winning o a 1m2f handicap at Sandown (good-to-firm) in May on his penultimate start. Appeared not to stay 1m4f at York subsequently and is interesting back down in distance off a mark 4lb higher than for his latest success.
Justified favouritism when taking a 1m2f handicap at Ayr (good) by 5L just under a month ago. Good third over an extended 1m3f at Windsor (good) when turned out quickly subsequently and races off a mark 11lb higher than for that Ayr victory.
Forecasts
Great Example (11/8), Asian Angel (11/4), Kripke (13/2), Ayutthaya (8/1), Sod's Law (8/1), My Boy Sepoy (14/1)
KRIPKE has shown good form over shorter and he can register a victory on his first attempt at this distance. The selection has a top jockey in the saddle and he can get the better of Great Example who should appreciate the drop back in trip while third place can go to Asian Angel who receives weight from all of her rivals.
