racingtv.com Handicap

Course winner in May. Good third of 8 in handicap (11/4) at Lingfield (1½m, AW) 8 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Merits consideration.

Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (2m) in January but he did show a tenacious attitude to lead close home. Should be very competitive if primed after 5 months off.

Fairly useful on the Flat and over hurdles at his best but sent off at 200/1 when well held here on his recent return for an absence for his new yard. Can only watch after that.

Has won over 2m at Newcastle and Lingfield this year. Creditable 3¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Wannabe Brave back at Lingfield latest but he may find that rival too strong again.

Struggled on the Flat and over hurdles for this yard in 2023. Off 168 days ago. Tongue strap on for first time. Could only consider if backed.

On an AW 4-timer after 2m wins at Wolverhampton, Chelmsford and Lingfield in April/May. Did it decisively last time and a further 4 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him.

Runner-up over 2m at Chelmsford last June and arrives fit from the Flat. Sports first-time cheekpieces.

Course winner in 2021. Also successful on turf in 2022 but off since finishing seventh at Chelmsford in September 2022 (final start for Mark Loughnane). A watching brief has to be the call given the length of the absence.
