Yet to hit the frame in five starts although he did produce his best effort when last seen at Wolverhampton (6f) on his second handicap start. Dropped 2lb for that one-paced effort he still looks no more than averagely treated, eased in grade.

One of only two winners in the field; confirmed the promise shown on his previous outing last time when dropped to 5f (Tapeta debut). Profile looks progressive one for the grade (has a second on Polytrack to his name); plenty to offer at this level.

Unplaced in all four starts; looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind, her debut in this sphere (0-60) showing some promise. Not long with this yard (third run here), can do better in time especially off what looks to be a fair mark.

Kept busy as a 2yo when with Mark Usher, picked up a 6f Wolverhampton seller (race panned out favourably). Changed stables soon after, has struggled in handicaps since despite a much reduced mark, never a threat last time; few others appeal more.

Looks a poor maiden given that he's yet to be placed having tried a variety of surfaces and distances (6f-1m). Ran poorly when last seen, made little impression for the switch to handicaps, hard to see him featuring even at this level.

One of his better runs came over C&D on her penultimate start back in October (took well to the surface); better than finishing position off 5lb higher. Failed to make an impression on Tapeta last time; cheekpieces now worn for first-time.

Little to show for five 2yo efforts even when on handicap/AW (Polytrack) debut, looking very limited. Not beaten far in only handicap run but still only beat one home; 1lb out of the weights, hopes pinned on a return to 6f in a very weak event.

Well held in two minor events as a 2yo returning recently after a six-month break still failing to show any ability. Drops down to 6f for her handicap debut with headgear added for the first-time, would be a major step forward to get involved.

Forecasts

Bal Mal (16/5), Eye Smiling (10/3), Numinous (4/1), Pull Harder Con (9/2), Chromium (13/2), Socialize (8/1), Glencoe Boy (11/1), Rhythmic Motion (28/1), Sweet Embrace (40/1)

Verdict

More low-grade action although there are one or two who may have hopes of stepping outside this grade. Bal Mal is certainly one of those being the only handicap winner in the field and having a profile that compared to others looks upwardly mobile, a return to 6f off a 3lb higher mark shouldn’t be too taxing. Socialize despite the lack of placed efforts in his form is expected to do better in handicaps with Numinous another similar type and any positive vibes should be noted. EYE SMILING finished close-up to three unexposed types on her recent handicap debut at Kempton over this trip. Surprisingly dropped 2lb for that effort she should be able to make a further impression in an easier heat.
