Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap

Ran his best race since his 2-y-o days to take advantage of a reduced mark in 7-runner handicap over C&D last week. Remains well treated on past exploits, so obvious player if he can back that up.

Ended a long losing run dropped in grade over C&D last month and confirmed return to form back in stronger company since. Should remain competitive.

Finally got off the mark in a 1m maiden at Chelmsford last month. Not disgraced back in handicap company since and should benefit from a return to this trip.

Runner-up at Windsor in September but below form both subsequent starts. Sold out of Hughie Morrison's yard cheaply since and first-time hood now applied.

Underperformed back from a 3-month break when eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (40/1) on most recent outing in December. Eased further in the weights as a result.

Showed promise when runner-up at Wolverhampton in late 2024 but has struggled since returning from 11 months off, including when down the field in 7f handicap at Kempton (50/1) latest. Hard to fancy.

Returned to form when third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (17/2) 30 days ago, albeit better placed than most. First-time cheekpieces applied.

Second at Wolverhampton in December his best effort for some time and again shaped well (left with too much to do) when fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) on most recent outing considering he was shuffled back before halfway. Needs things to drop right but potentially well treated.

Out of sorts since landing a double on turf here in August.
