Unplaced in all her starts with Roger Charlton including two 0-60 handicaps either side of the New Year. Now with a new yard she looks as though she needs some help from the handicapper before she's of any interest.
Handicap newcomer having shown something to work on when making his debut for Mark Usher (only run for that yard) over 6f at Kempton. Failed to beat a rival in two AW starts for this stable over 7f-1m; hardly looks well treated for this.
Well held in three starts for Jo Hughes in France failing to make much of an impact over 7f-1m, last two starts have been in claiming company. Now makes her stable/GB/AW debut returned 7f; hard to weigh up (on balance best watched).
Related to some smart individual on the distaff side of her pedigree (failed to inherit their ability). Five unplaced efforts so far; ran even worse switched to AW upped to 1m last time, drops down to career-low mark, still hard to recommend.
Modest sort who has little to show for her six unplaced efforts in maidens/nurseries in Ireland for Denis Hogan. 9lb lower when last seen in a handicap debuting for a new yard, questions to answer on first outing in GB.
Last in all three qualifying runs for handicaps she showed a lot more switched that sphere in a first-time hood over C&D, steadily got the hang of things. Hasn't quite gone on from there but a return to this C&D may help; hood off, cheekpieces on.
Well beaten in three minor turf events for the Tony Newcombe yard as a 2yo; makes his handicap/AW/stable debut. Interesting only because of the stable switch he's a potential improver for this trainer off a lowly mark; market watch advised.
Suited by this trip he's still to win a race and only has one placed effort to his name. Didn't look an easy ride last time (hung left straight, carried head awkwardly), returns having had a wind op, had plenty of opportunities.
Like many in this field he's had a plethora of chances and failed to take them with placed efforts looking to be at a premium also. Fully exposed as a poor maiden (usually races up with the pace), below-par recently, of little interest.
Form such as it is has a very uneven and modest look to it with not even a placed effort to show for his efforts in 12 starts. Below-par when last seen over 6f; mark has reduced quickly but he's failed to take any advantage.

A complex handicap due to the fact that the majority of the protagonists have very little solid form to their name. Where Next Jo one of two David Evans runners in the field has to be of interest moving back into handicaps after a modest third at Wolverhampton; her first two 2yo runs showed her to have some ability. WRATH OF HECTOR has unappealing form figures but he wouldn’t be the first such sort to be revitalised by the Mick Appelby yard especially off such a low mark, a positive mark move would provide extra confidence. Sea Willow and the fresh off a wind op Broughtons Compass are two other to consider in an event where investments (if any) should be kept to a bare minimum.
