Won in first-time blinkers at Goodwood in June and shaped as though still in form when fifth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (4/1) 23 days ago, unable to get a smooth passage through. This is a weaker race back on the AW.

Shaped quite nicely on return/stable debut at Windsor and better than ever when landing a 12-runner handicap at Kempton (15/2) 15 days ago over 6f, the step back up from 5f proving the catalyst for success. Second has won since and revised mark looks well within reach.

Twice runner-up in turf races earlier this year before finishing last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (5/2), possibly unsuited by first try on soft ground. Better expected returned to the AW.

Best AW effort when third at Wolverhampton in June. Seventh of 9 in 6f handicap at Chelmsford City (6/1) 20 days ago when racing freely. Re-fitting of a hood may help in that regard.

Reappearance winner in March and runner-up at Nottingham a month later. Looked a little more straightforward than has been the case when creditable 4th of 11 in a 6f handicap at this course (12/1) 30 days ago.

Forecasts

Francis Drake (11/10), Style King (4/1), Ironist (9/2), Sweet Sonata (7/1), Rye (11/1), Dark Sorceress (16/1)

Verdict

FRANCIS DRAKE showed marked improvement when scoring at Kempton 15 days ago and from 5 lb higher, he's fancied to follow up for his new connections. Ironist may appreciate dropping back to 6f after weakening late at Newmarket, while Sweet Sonata didn't get a clear run last time and ought to be a player in this grade.
