Davies Group Handicap

Creditable third on first 2 outings this term but faded into a below-par seventh of 9 over this trip at Goodwood 3 weeks ago. Bounce back needed.

Winner of novice at Beverley in April. Has failed to win in 4 handicap starts since but he continues to leave the impression there's a bigger peformance in him at some point and this easier than the Class 2 he contested last time.

Both wins on AW but he has performed with credit on turf on his 2 outings this year. Unexposed at this trip.

Successful twice at up to 2m for Graeme McPherson during 2020. Missed 2021 but hasn't taken long to show he still retains all his ability, scoring over C&D under Adam Kirby 20 days ago. Should remain competitive after a 3 lb rise.

Winner at Goodwood on seasonal return in April. Failed to stay 2m there next time but quickly back to form over this trip since.

Fairly useful mare who was a fair fourth over 2m at Goodwood on her penultimate start and is probably best forgiven her latest Queen Alexandra run at Royal Ascot as she faced a very stiff task.
