Ninth of 12 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to firm, 10/1) 17 days ago. Almost certainly needed that first start in 14 months and this will reveal more.

Forecasts

Michael's Pledge (9/4), Marbuzet (10/3), Spantik (7/2), Mass Consumption (9/2), A Day To Dream (12/1), Yasmin From York (12/1), Beyond Beauty (33/1), Princess Nieve (33/1), Wheal Kitty (66/1), Burnage Boy (80/1)

A literal reading of MASS CONSUMPTION's third-placed finish in novice company last time suggests he's a fair way ahead of the handicapper so assuming he stays 2m, a first win looks on the cards. Michael's Pledge and Marbuzet also have something to recommend them.
