AR Legal Collections Handicap

Ended his 2-y-o campaign with an easy win in a 6f Pontefract maiden (heavy) in October. His strength at the finish on that occasion suggests this step up to 7f will suit now handicapping for the first time on his return. Wears a first-time tongue tie.

Won 6f maiden/novice events on good/good to firm at the end of last summer. Not in the same form when 8 lengths fifth in 7f Newbury nursery on much softer ground on final start (subsequently gelded). Capable of bouncing back on return for last year's winning yard.

Made a promising start when runner-up in a Leicester maiden (7f) in September. Never figured in a race run at a crawl over C&D 12 days later but bounced straight back with a 7f Catterick maiden win (good to soft) in October. Ryan Moore up for this handicap debut after 6 months off.

Oasis Dream colt who confirmed the promise of his 6f course debut last autumn when landing short odds in a 7f Wolverhampton maiden at the turn of the year. More to come making a quick switch to handicaps.

Keen goer who improved to win nurseries over 6f at Lingfield (all-weather) and C&D (good to firm) last autumn. Gelded and off 6 months ahead of this hat-trick bid.

Won a Pontefract novice over 6f last year. Good second in 1m Kempton handicap on return in January but not in anything like the same form when last of 6 at Lingfield 15 days later. Sold out of Charlie Johnston's stable for 11,000 gns in February.

Signed off 2-y-o campaign in the perfect style at Nottingham in the mud in October. Returned with a promising third of 12 in 6f Lingfield Class 2 at the end of February, running on well from further back than ideal in a style which suggests 7f will suit. Good shout under Buick.

Fair form when placing of 3 of 5 starts (all 6f) as a juvenile. Steps up to 7f now handicapping for the first time on his return.

Didn't look the easiest ride (hung left) when winning a 6f Redcar novice last autumn. Much better effort in 6f handicaps since when fourth of 7 on Southwell reappearance 19 days ago. Steps back up in trip now with his yard among the winners.

Placed in a trio sprint maiden/novice events. Off 12 weeks (gelded) ahead of this handicap debut over a longer trip. Respected for his good stable.

Good second in 7f nurseries at Chester (soft) and Goodwood (good to firm) on her final 2 outings last year, shaping particularly well at the latter track (finished strongly from too far back). Likely to go well on return.

Improved back from a gelding operation when winning 7f Newcastle handicap in December. That was only a 4-runner affair, though, and has more on his plate in a deeper race on reappearance.

Modest form over sprint trips last year and seemingly exposed after 8 starts. Tackles 7f for the first time on reappearance with a hood also added. Others are much more obvious.
