20/1

Last of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Ripon (9.8f, heavy) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip on what represents a drop in class but he has questions to answer at present.

5/4

Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f). Off 15 months. First run for yard after leaving Micky Hammond and market may guide as to well-being.

Ask Peter¹⁴

7/2

5/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, last of 6 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. That was clearly disappointing but headgear quickly discarded and she can bounce back.

Form: 4-46356

Forecasts

Mirrie Dancers (5/4), Glory And Honour (9/4), Ask Peter (7/2), Absolute Ruler (7/2), Crafter (9/2), The Resdev Way (11/1), Grifter (20/1), National Charter (40/1)

ABSOLUTE RULER got it right at the second attempt over hurdles and now he's back in some sort of form he looks ready to cash in on what is a lowly Flat mark compared to what he used to be capable of. Ask Peter goes without headgear this time and is certainly in the right hands to bounce back, with Glory And Honour likely to be plugging on.
