Beaverbrooks Handicap

Novice winner at this track last summer and also made a successful nursery debut a fortnight later. Form has levelled off since and he's left Michael Bell but eases in class for new yard with cheekpieces back on.

AW novice winner last September. Creditable in-frame efforts in 6f handicaps at Newmarket and Haydock first 2 starts back but she took a backward step at York and she's now upped markedly in trip.

Quickly got back on the up when winning 5-runner handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) last month, sticking to his task. In nothing like the same form at York since, eased off having raced freely though ground conditions were totally different.

Had gone close on numerous occasions and made the most of a good opportunity with the minimum of fuss in maiden at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) last month. Pitched into a deeper race and brushed aside at York last month. This an easier assignment.

Built on a good reappearance run at Catterick when off the mark in 7.5f Beverley handicap last month. Up 8 lb and readily brushed aside at York since.

Highly tried early in 2-y-o campaign and ended season with a lesser effort having raced freely over 6.9f. Left Iain Jardine and hood fitted on reappearance having been gelded.

Useful pedigree but achieved no more than fair form in 3 outings. Handicaps likely to see her in a better light and she's well drawn here.

Just denied at Wolverhampton on handicap bow/return but only sixth at Doncaster on turf debut next time and shaped as though amiss over C&D latest. Cheekpieces reached for.

Scored twice on AW in February and proved himself on turf when sixth of 11 in handicap at Haydock last month. Likely to give it another good shot.

Five-race maiden bit easily best effort yet when third at Beverley 3 weeks ago, making up a lot of ground. Of serious interest on that performance.
