6/4

Wore tongue tie and blinkers (both retained) when recording an impressive 8L victory in a 1m4f handicap on good-to-soft going here last week. Carries a 6lb penalty for that triumph and looks likely to play a leading role stepping up in distance.

Winner of four races on the Flat but yet to score in handicap company. Others make more appeal on Flat return having finished well beaten over fences the last twice.

Good effort in finishing 2L third in a 1m4f handicap at Chepstow (good-to-firm) last time out. Interesting runner off a mark 2lb lower than for his sole previous success.

Handicap hurdle winner at Warwick (2m, good) in May and finished a decent third on Flat return at Chepstow (1m4f, good-to-firm) subsequently. Disappointed over the same C&D subsequently however.

Struggled in three starts in novice events in the spring and it was a similar story when 15L tenth in a 1m4f event on handicap debut at Chepstow (good-to-firm) last month. Probably best watched at present.

Stepped up on previous efforts in finishing ½L third in a 1m4f handicap at Thirsk (soft) last week. Shapes as if this step up in distance will suit and is one to note in this contest.

Forecasts

Tigerskin (6/4), Half Bolly (5/1), Born Leader (5/1), Brooklyn Boy (8/1), Purple Jazz (10/1), Bird For Life (10/1), Spring Run (11/1), Antidote (12/1), Spirit Of Nicobar (14/1), Bambys Boy (16/1), Carnage (16/1), Dancing Lilly (20/1), Miss Harriett (25/1), Triple Genius (33/1), Boutan (50/1), Zaydanides (50/1)

TIGERSKIN impressed when winning last week and he can follow up under a penalty in the concluding staying handicap. The selection is due to go up 10lb for that success so is effectively 4lb well in on this occasion and he can get the better of his rivals here with Born Leader who has been running well over shorter in recent starts capable of taking second on her first attempt at this distance. Third place can go the way of Half Bolly who showed improved form when placed last time out.
