9/2

Showed first form in this sphere (in first-time cheekpieces) when third in 17-runner handicap at Down Royal (20.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Return to shorter not sure to suit but still needs considering.

13/8

Found improvement when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good to soft) 8 days ago, clear of rest. Races off same mark and holds strong claims.

In process of running creditably when stumbling on landing and unseating last at Ayr (20.5f) last month. Below par on level since but must enter calculations back in this sphere.

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: D Bourke| OR: 80| C

4/1

Fared a little better in first-time blinkers here latest but may find this trip on the sharp side. Visor replaces blinkers. 2 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 109-7P5

New Zealander^b1¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Thomas Willmott| T: L Kerr| OR: 71

Yet to score and has offered little in either start for this yard. Can only be watched from 11 lb out of the handicap. Blinkered for first time.

Forecasts

Iron Heart (13/8), Topkapi Star (7/2), Golden Chancer (4/1), Keepthefaithinme (9/2), Foxhollow (5/1), Oot Ma Way (11/1), New Zealander (33/1), A Place Apart (40/1)

FOXHOLLOW will benefit from this stiffer test of stamina and is fancied to make a successful handicap debut. Iron Heart and Keepthefaithinme look the likeliest dangers.
