Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap (Div 1)

Didn't quite stay 9f here in February but bounced back with first-time cheekpieces on when second of 11 over C&D, beaten a nose. Was seen to maximum effect on that occasion but he can remain competitive.

Third of 15 at Doncaster in October but hasn't fired since, faring no better on first start after leaving Michael Appleby when last of 8 over 8.7f here under a change of tactics 15 days ago.

Shaped as if needing the run on return from 6 months off here in February (6f) and stepped up when third over the same C&D 15 days ago. Step back up in trip should help her cause.

Finally cashed in on a free-falling mark in a 7f handicap at Southwell in January. Right bac into his shell both starts since, though.

Caused a surprise when winning at Ffos Las in August but backed that effort up when second of 6 back there a month later. Absent since and now makes all-weather bow.

Maiden after 14 starts but ran up to best when second of 9 in a 7f handicap at Kempton (6/1) last month in a change of headgear. Entitled to go very close if not hindered by stall 10.

Southwell winner in November but has been out of sorts since, ninth of 9 at Newcastle (5f, 12/1) 30 days ago. First run for new trainer with a superb record with new recruits and he lurks on a dangerous mark.

Improved with each outing this year, third of 11 over this C&D 14 days ago. Previous C&D winner who can remain competitive.

C&D winner in October. Unable to add to that for this yard, second of 6 at this C&D 4 days ago, perked up by headgear change.

Last won in December 2023 and while his mark has come down plenty, he didn't show much at Newcastle a month ago.
