Made a winning seasonal debut when scoring by a neck in a 6f handicap at Newmarket (good-to-soft) a fortnight ago. Raised 4lb for that success and holds strong claims having won over this C&D in the past.
Signs of a return to form when finishing 4¼L fifth in a 5f handicap at Beverley (good) last time out. Has won here in the past but notable that all ten previous victories have come over shorter.
Ended last year with an AW victory over this trip at Newcastle in November but has finished well beaten in both starts this campaign. Market support would be notable racing off a mark 1lb higher than for that Newcastle triumph.
Making his debut for this stable when finishing sixth in a 7f handicap at Newcastle just under a month ago. Worth a check in the market dropping back in distance on just his third handicap start.
Victorious by 2½L in a 6f handicap at Newcastle in February when making his first appearance for this stable and finished a good second upped to 1m there subsequently. Races off her 6lb lower turf mark on her return from a break.
Beat just one rival home when contesting a 13 runner handicap over this trip on good ground at Redcar when making his seasonal reappearance just over a fortnight ago. Market support would be notable having won over this C&D back in 2018.
Promising 2¼L third in a good ground handicap over this distance at Redcar on seasonal debut last month. Races off the same mark here and is of interest racing off a mark 5lb lower than for his most recent triumph.
Decent effort in finishing fourth in a soft ground handicap over this trip at Nottingham in August last year. Made his only appearance for Paul Midgley that day and interesting to see how he performs on debut for this yard.
Good second in a 1m2f event at Les Sables-d'Olonne (good) in August last year but disappointed over an extended 1m at Epsom (good) the following month. Dropping markedly in trip on debut for a new trainer.
Showed good form in finishing third in a good-to-soft ground handicap over this distance at Ripon when making his seasonal reappearance last time out. One to note racing off a mark 4lb higher than for his latest victory.
Placed twice at two but has struggled in handicap company the last twice including when eighth at Thirsk (6f, good) on seasonal debut last month. Probably best watched at present.
Forecasts
Mogsy (7/2), Dandys Gold (4/1), Edgewood (5/1), Dark Defender (5/1), Ugo Gregory (11/2), Galloway Hills (10/1), Paddy Power (18/1), Mr Orange (22/1), Dapper Man (22/1), Canford's Joy (33/1), Quickly Does It (50/1)
DANDYS GOLD was in good form earlier this year and he can register his second victory of 2020 by making a winning return to racing on turf in this competitive sprint handicap. The selection can get the better of top weight Dark Defender who was a winner at Newmarket on his most recent outing while third place can go to Galloway Hills who showed promise when placed last time.
