Lightly-raced maiden who took his form up a notch when third of 12 in 2m3f novice here last month. Much respected now going handicapping.

Brought along steadily before getting off the mark on his handicap debut in 8-runner event at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 28 days ago, forging clear. Holds good claims off a 7 lb higher mark with more progress on the cards.

Yet to score but he got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when third of nine in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 17 days ago. Needs to follow it up now.

Forecasts

How And Ever (11/4), Bitsnbuckles (3/1), Sangiovese (9/2), Bobalot (6/1), Rollo's Kingdom (13/2), Talimar Pearl (13/2), Journey West (50/1)

Verdict

Gary Moore's SANGIOVESE appeals as the sort to keep on improving now sent into handicaps and can make light of 7 lb rise for his emphatic Southwell success. Olly Murphy's Huntingdon victor Bitsnbuckles also has better days ahead of him and rates the obvious threat with C&D winner Bobalot and handicap debutant How And Ever in the mix too in an intriguing contest.
