Roy Winstanley Memorial - Raising Encephalitis Awareness Handicap

Returned to winning ways in 9-runner minor event (13/8) at Leicester (6f, good to soft) 10 days ago and looks fairly treated back in handicap company here. Shortlisted.

14/1, bit below form third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 20 days ago. Others more appealing.

9/2, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) 25 days ago. Others look better treated.

Ninth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm, 18/1) 67 days ago. Claims on best form.

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 12 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm, 8/1) 11 days ago, very slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Returned to form when close second of 12 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 16/1) 8 days ago, slowly away. Just 1 lb higher now and must enter calculations.

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 13 in nursery (33/1) at Leicester (7f, good). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Adrian Nicholls. Improvement required.

9/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Others preferred.

Still looking for first success but posted his best effort yet, in first-time tongue strap, when third of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 25 days ago. Just 1 lb higher here (1 lb out of the weights) and not taken lightly.
