Took off where he left off post-lockdown with a second at Chelmsford followed by 5f wins at Beverley and Redcar; both with tonnes in hand. Double penalty here but hard to see it stopping him.

Four-race maiden probably ran his best race so far latest when a 3¾L fourth on handicap debut at Doncaster. First time over the minimum trip here but it may suit and expectant of a solid showing.

Seven-race maiden ran better last time out but was still 6¾L behind re-opposing Bal Mal in fourth at Beverley and can't see 5lb weight pull helping her turn the tables.

Good third at Haydock over the summer but failed to build on that since. Showed little when last seen on the AW and after the break she has a few questions to answer.

Ex-Richard Hannon; despite her appealing family line (sister to Tomily among others) she's exposed as a moderate 11-race maiden; thought likely to be better suited by a switch to handicapping but best watched first time out.

Represents powerful connections but yet to impress in three starts. Her seventh behind Annangel last time could be advertised by that runner in the 1:45 and in the first-time visor on handicap debut improvement is expected.

Came close to breaking her maiden over this C&D three runs ago when she was second of 11, beaten by ¾L. Was disappointing on her latest attempt over this C&D as she had just one horse behind her in a six runner field. Has each-way claims.

Forecasts

Bal Mal (4/6), Sports Reporter (3/1), Not On Your Nellie (11/1), Angels Faces (12/1), Moon Power (16/1), Summer Heights (18/1), Beignet (33/1), Charmore (33/1)

Verdict

Hat-trick seeking BAL MAL is likely to be rated somewhere in the high 70s when the handicapper finally catches up so he looks very well in again under his double penalty and with quick turnarounds clearly no worry to him he is hard to oppose. Having run pretty well on handicap debut Sports Reporter may prove the strongest rival although Moon Power is expected to improve now.
