Blackmore Build And Design Handicap

Has proven mostly underwhelming under both codes since winning a novice hurdle at Sandown on yard debut back in 2024. Took a step back in right direction over jumps in March.

Placed twice on all-weather in January. Below form upped in grade when eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (16.3f, 11/1) in February. No surprise to see him bounce back returned to this level.

May have been unsuited by testing conditions on final 2 Flat starts in 2025. Won a handicap hurdle at Ludlow on next outing but below from in similar event at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft, 6/1) when last seen in December. Any positive market vibes should be noted.

Nineteen runs since last win in 2023 but did post a creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (2m, 10/3) 11 days ago. Is fitted with blinkers for first time in this sphere and should give his running but is one to take on for win purposes.

Course winner who also landed a Newbury handicap last July. Looked to be working his way back to peak form in 2 all-weather runs this year and he steps back up markedly in trip on this return to turf.

Won twice from 3 starts on the Flat here in 2025. Placed on last 2 starts in handicap hurdles when last seen in November, latest when second of 13 at Taunton (19f, good to firm). Not discounted.

Successful twice this year, latest in handicap at Lingfield (2m) in March. Posted a creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1¾m) 11 days ago. Having a rare start on turf from 1 Ib out of the handicap.
