Jewson Tool Hire Handicap

Eighteen runs since last win in 2021 and he came home last of 5 in C&D handicap (good to soft) 15 days ago. Plenty to prove.

Scored at Wolverhampton and Brighton in May. Produced a rare below-par effort at Sandown last time, so appeals as the type to bounce back quickly with headgear refitted.

Improved for the switch to handicaps with a hood enlisted when runner-up at Nottingham prior to finishing a close third at Yarmouth. However, ran poorly upped to a trip she should stay at Newmarket (10f) last time. Bounce back required.

Arrives in good heart but left the impression he was keeping a bit to himself once more when third of 6 at Windsor (10f) 11 days ago.

Showed benefit of her reappearance when second of 7 in handicap at Sandown in May. Underperformed at Chepstow 9 weeks later but wasted no time getting back to form when fourth of 5 at Chester (10.3f, heavy) 12 days ago.

Successful on second start at Wolverhampton in February but hasn't really built on that subsequently, too free in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket last time. Back up in trip.

Dual winner in 2022 who got back on track after a couple of poor runs when third in 10-runner handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) in June. Failed to build on that promise at Wolverhampton but can be given another chance in an ordinary race.

Returned from 4 months off with a good second at Brighton (9.9f) in April and backed it up with a creditable seventh at Windsor the following month. Not seen since but is clearly capable fresh.

Eleven runs since last win in 2022 but quickly returned to form when fourth of 13 in 1m handicap at Bath (8f, good) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Not taken lightly.

Returned to form in a first-time tongue strap when scoring at Windsor in June. Ran at least as well in defeat at Yarmouth next time but has been more miss than hit since. Blinkers on for 1st time.

Showed a bit on qualifying runs and may do better now handicapping up in trip.
