Winner of ten races and ran well when finishing fourth in a 7f handicap at Kempton earlier this month on his return from a break. Worth a check in the market racing off a mark 3lb lower than for his latest success.

C&D winner was beaten a nose when finishing second in a 1m event at Chelmsford last October. Disappointed over the same C&D the following month and interesting to see how he performs on seasonal debut.

14 race maiden finished a well beaten sixth in a handicap over 1m on good ground here earlier this month. Has rn well off higher marks in the past but others hold more obvious claims.

Completed a double when winning over 7f at Catterick (soft) in August last year. Held in both subsequent starts however and any softening of the ground would aid his chances on seasonal debut.

Forecasts

Swift Approval (5/2), Stringybark Creek (11/4), Youthful (9/2), Bounty Pursuit (5/1), Erich Bloch (5/1), Glory of Paris (13/2), John Clare (7/1), Full Intention (7/1), Leo Davinci (15/2), Chaplin Bay (12/1), Momtalik (28/1)

Verdict

ERICH BLOCH ran well when placed on debut for this yard and he can register a victory by taking this 7f event. The selection had shown decent form in handicap company in Ireland and he can get the better of Bounty Pursuit who wasn't beaten far when fourth on his most recent start. Third place can go to Full Intention who was placed off this mark on his most recent outing.
  1. Erich Bloch
  2. Bounty Pursuit
  3. Full Intention
