Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should give a good account of himself, but remains with just one to his name from 14 starts.
|
9/4, third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 65 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Ought to come on for that run (first start for 5 months) and she has to enter calculations.
|
Twelve runs since last win in 2018. 15/2, below form sixth of 15 in handicap at Windsor (10f, soft), slowly away. Off 8 months and others are more persuasive.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in handicap at York (10.2f, good, 12/1) 20 days ago. Down 2 lb, but still doubt that there's much margin for error off this mark.
|
Bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap (16/1) at York (8.8f, good to firm) 19 days ago, slowly away. Best to look elsewhere.
|
Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm, 6/1) 30 days ago, not ideally placed. Needs taking seriously off the same mark here.
|
Seventh of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Goodwood (12f, good) 27 days ago. There were no real excused that day and this 7-y-o has a bit to prove at present.
|
Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. Good second of 9 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago, sticking to task. Merits consideration.
|
Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. Last of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 133 days. Significantly back up in trip and he has work to do.
|
Winner at Windsor in May. 4¼ lengths eighth of 10 to For Richard in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good, 5/2) 25 days ago. Place possibilities.
|
Improved on recent efforts to win 7-runner handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to firm, 10/1) 20 days ago. Shade more needed off this 3 lb higher mark, but not without hope all the same.
|
12/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Back up in trip. Likely to come up short once more.
|
Winner at Bath in April. 7/2, last of 7 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Back up in trip and bit to prove on the back of that disappointing display.
|
7/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 6 days ago. Back up in trip and this demands a step forward.
|
Two wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good, 6/1) 25 days ago, driven out. 3 lb rise fair enough and couldn't rule out.

Forecasts
True Scarlet (16/5), Mafia Power (7/2), For Richard (15/2), Grey Fox (8/1), Millions Memories (12/1), Marion's Boy (12/1), Desert Emperor (14/1), Twisted Dreams (14/1), Galactic Glow (16/1), Bayston Hill (18/1), Mumtaaz (22/1), Sagauteur (25/1), Mutarabby (25/1), Broad Appeal (40/1), Siglo Six (66/1)
The vote goes to TRUE SCARLET, who is entitled to come on for her reappearance spin at Lingfield and she should get a good pace to aim at back on turf. Marion's Boy has been rather hit-and-miss since opening his account in November, but his latest effort was solid and he is feared most. Bayston Hill is also respected on the back of a C&D near miss and For Richard is another to consider.
- TRUE SCARLET (IRE)
- MARION'S BOY (IRE)
