One win from 42 starts but this is the first time he's competed at classified level and latest fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (1m) was respectable. Enters calculations.

Down the field in maiden/novices over 7f last spring but shrewd stable perseveres and he needs keeping an eye on in the betting on return.

Modest gelding. 18/1 and visored first time, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 45 days ago, doing too much too soon. Return to shorter trip could help. Blinkers also refitted. Claims.

Forecasts

Pink Socks (11/4), That Lucas Fella (3/1), Al Baahy (4/1), Top Gun Tina (8/1), Freak Encounter (8/1), Pop Favorite (10/1), Madame Plaintiff (16/1), Lady Sonata (20/1), Anificas Beauty (25/1), Aye Up Tom (33/1)

Verdict

PINK SOCKS can build on a couple of solid efforts since joining Ian Williams, with Billy Loughnane taking over in the saddle now. Al Baahy has shown enough in recent starts to think he can still be a force at 0-50 classified level. That Lucas Fella looks best of the remainder.
