Made a winning handicap debut when taking a 5f event at Bath (good) by ½L earlier this month. Raised 4lb for that victory and is an interesting runner stepping back up in distance.

Signs of ability in three starts so far including when 6L sixth over 1m at Kempton in early February. Had wind surgery since that Kempton effort and market support would be notable on handicap and turf debut.

Recorded a couple of promising efforts in novice company earlier this year but struggled on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good) last month. Probably best watched at present.

Five race maiden was placed over sprint distances at two. Struggled on handicap debut over 6f at Lingfield last month and interesting to see how he performs with a top jockey booked to ride stepping up in trip.

Well beaten in three starts since the resumption of racing including over this C&D at the start of this month. Handicap mark is falling as a result and he races off a mark 3lb lower than when winning at Kempton (7f) in January.

Placed twice from four starts most recently over 1m at Windsor (good-to-firm) at the end of last month. Shaped as if this drop in trip would suit when sixth over the same distance at Chelmsford subsequently.

Beaten just 1¼L when finishing fourth in a 7f maiden on the AW at Lingfield early last month. Market support would be notable on handicap debut for a stable with a 33% strike-rate (4/12) in recent weeks.

Career best effort came when finishing 1½L second in a handicap over this C&D on good ground at the start of this month. Similar underfoot conditions forecast and he is one for the shortlist despite a 2lb rise in the weights.

Struggled when finishing 15th of 17 on handicap debut over 6f at Doncaster (good) earlier this month. Interesting to see how fares stepping back up in distance.

Finished sixth in a couple of 6f events on the AW at Kempton for Charles Hills last year but struggled when last of seven on stable and handicap debut over the same trip at Lingfield just over a month ago. Others make more appeal upped in trip.

Forecasts

Newton Jack (1/1), Arafi (10/3), City Escape (4/1), Foronceinmylife (18/1), Knight's Gate (20/1), Barking Mad (22/1), Corofin (28/1), Alfies Watch (40/1), Crowded Express (66/1), Twelve Diamonds (125/1)

Verdict

NEWTON JACK showed a liking for this track when runner-up here last time out and he can defy a 2lb rise in the weights to register a first career success in this three-year-old only handicap. The selection can get the better of City Escape who is making her handicap debut for a stable who have been in good form of late while third place can go to Knight's Gate who was the winner of a sprint event on his most recent start.
  1. Newton Jack
  2. City Escape
  3. Knight's Gate
