Ended a losing run in 16-runner handicap at Meydan (7f) in February. May of needed first start for 6 months when last of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good to firm) on debut for new yard in August and this step up in trip looks in his favour.
|
Dual 6f winner of soft/heavy earlier in his career and posted best effort yet when second in conditions' event at Ascot (7f) in September. Well held equipped with cheekpieces (discarded here) in handicap back at that venue 20 days ago and he appeals as the type to bounce back quickly.
|
Dual 6f winner last summer. Yet to get her head infront this time around but she continued run of good form when third of 10 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy, 11/1) 10 days ago, no extra last ½f. This trip could just be on the limit of her stamina.
|
Goes well with give underfoot, his latest success coming over C&D 13 months ago. Comes here following a creditable fourth at Leicester and whilst his finishing effort has come under question at times, he's undoubtedly capable of exploiting this mark if putting it all together again.
|
Improved on debut for when taking 16-runner Gowran maiden (7f, heavy) in May. Similar form when third in Cork minor event (1m) in July (final start for P. Twomey) but switch to handicaps/return to heavy ground likely in his favour on debut for new yard.
|
Improving sort who scored at Ascot in July and hard to knock his consistency in defeat since, step up to 1m on testing ground possibly catching him out when fourth here 5 weeks ago. Remains one to be interested in back at 7f.
|
Eased in weights a little and confirmed promise of his Bath second when going one place better at Ascot (7f) 3 weeks ago, looking firmly at home back on a softer surface. Well worth considering up 5 lb.

Forecasts
Kodi Lion (2/1), Pearle D'or (5/2), Mercian Warrior (10/3), United Approach (13/2), Executive Decision (17/2), Cill Mocheallog (33/1), Mcmanaman (80/1)
KODI LION shaped as if still in good form before the combination of testing ground/step up to 1m possibly caught him out when fourth here 5 weeks ago. Remaining of interest back down at 7f, he earns the vote ahead of Ascot-scorer Mercian Warrior. United Approach is another fancied to have a part to play.
