Heggs Family Handicap

Fairly useful filly who bagged a 7f maiden at Doncaster and a 1m novice at Goodwood as a juvenile but struggled when upped in grade, including in a 10.5f listed race at Saint-Cloud on return last month. Makes both her handicap and all-weather debut back down in trip.

Won a 1m novice at Lingfield last August but then struggled to make an impact when tackling a large-field nursery at York and a listed race at Newmarket. Makes all-weather debut.

Bated Breath colt who overcame inexperience to land 7f novice at Yarmouth in August before posting good efforts in a valuable conditions event at Newmarket and a nursery at Doncaster. Makes all-weather debut with stable going well and looks to be on an exploitable mark.

Made a winning debut at Pontefract in August but isn't the biggest and didn't really kick on after. Gelded prior to posting a pair of disappointing efforts on the all-weather this year and now tries a step up in trip with cheekpieces worn last time quickly discarded.

Won a 7f all-weather maiden at Lingfield last September but was well held in a handicap on turf at Newmarket next time. Has been gelded since and return to an artificial surface should suit. Promising apprentice booked.

Off the mark in a Windsor novice last July but struggled in the face of stiff tasks next 3 starts. Got back on track in first-time blinkers when fifth of 9 in a 5f handicap at this course when last seen. That headgear now removed and has stamina to prove on return.

Generally went the right way in nurseries last year, winning at Newbury in August, and got back on the up when returning from 6 months off with head second of 8 to Lion of Mali at Kempton on all-weather debut. That rival has gone well again since, so 2 lb rise looks more than fair.

Belatedly confirmed the promise he'd shown on debut when winning a 9-runner 7f maiden at Newcastle by short head from Blue Mantle 24 days ago. Didn't settle fully that day but was well positioned the way the race unfolded and will need to take another step forward now tackling a handicap.
