Beck Handicap

Lightly-raced maiden. Back on track when fourth of 5 in maiden (14/1) at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Needs to build on that back in handicap company.

Off 4 months/gelded and blinkered for first time, off the mark in 5-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in February. However, shaped as if amiss when pulled up at Southwell next time and blinkers left off here.

Signs of ability last season and posted solid sixth of 14 at this course (8f) on return last month. Had the run of the race on that occasion, however, and others more appealing. Hood on first time.

Took a big step forward from debut when sixth in Doncaster maiden in October and posted fair efforts in both starts this term, shaping as if in need of this trip when third on handicap debut at Ascot (8f, soft) last time. Not out of things.

Fair form in 3 outings over 1m on AW, finishing fourth on Southwell reappearance in April. Below form on turf debut at Ascot last month, though, and makes limited appeal on handicap bow.

Lightly-raced maiden who matched his best form when third of 13 in handicap (3/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces now added for first time and likely to make presence felt.

Much improved when excellent second of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 8 days ago, clear of rest. Can race off same mark and holds obvious claims. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Improved markedly when winning 13-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) last month and backed that up with solid fourth at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and must enter calculations.

Still looking for first success but ran up to best when third of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) latest and warrants another try at this longer trip.
