William Hill Epic Boost Handicap

Winner of 1m Musselburgh handicap on 2023 reappearance and shaped pretty well on return this time round, too, when sixth of 13 at Chester (7.6f) last month. However, failed to build on that at Epsom latest and others make more appeal.

Back on track when good second of 12 in handicap over C&D (good) 16 days ago. Can race off same mark and is one for shortlist.

Three-time winner last term who returned to form when fourth of 9 in Gr 2 at Sakhir (7f, good to firm) in February. Fairly treated, back handicapping, and merits consideration.

Had a highly productive year on AW, completing 4-timer in 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f) in March, and shaped well when fourth at Chelmsford City (7f) 57 days ago. Yet to prove himself on turf, though.

Just 1 win from 25 Flat starts but has dropped to a handy mark and was ridden too aggressively when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Epsom (7f, soft) 9 days ago. Not discounted.

Overcame greenness to make a winning debut at Yarmouth (6f) in September and far from disgraced in better company last term. May have needed recent Haydock return but percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Form tailed off after a very promising start in handicaps last season but took a sizable step forward on first 2 starts this term when fourth in 12-runner handicap over C&D last month. On an attractive mark if he can build on that

Consistent on the whole as a 2-y-o, opening his account in a Newmarket nursery (7f) in October prior to a creditable fourth at Kempton on final outing. Made little impact on recent Epsom return, though, and others look better treated.
