Just one win from 15 starts (four bumpers) but that success did come at this venue earlier this season. Has run to a similar level in two starts since and while he holds no secrets from the handicapper, his ability to act at this track appeals.
Got the better of Forewarning here last time out and she's still feasibly handicapped from just 2lb higher, despite having never won from a mark this high. Her record fresh is patchy at best though.
Minor improvement when third at Southwell last time out. Step up in trip could suit on handicap debut but sire's progeny don't usually appreciate testing conditions.
Forecasts
Forewarning (7/4), Becky The Thatcher (15/8), Bodacious Name (3/1), Soft Summer Rain (7/1)
BODACIOUS NAME is at his best when tackling this unique test and he can land back-to-back renewals with ground conditions in his favour. Forewarning is taken to reverse form with Becky The Thatcher with race fitness on his side.
