Book The Bistro In Sherwood Restaurant Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Made the most of a good opportunity on his all-weather debut in a Lingfield maiden in November, but he has not always looked the most straightforward and his down-the-field effort when favourite on handicap debut at Kempton on return suggests he has work to do from this sort of mark.

Completed a hat-trick last autumn, including 2 wins at this course, before chasing home Berkshire Sundance at Kempton in December. Raced too freely upped in grade last time and whilst this is less competitive, all wins and better efforts have all come at longer trips.

Maiden who was first past the post in a 9-runner handicap at Beverley last August but was last of 12 at Meydan on his return from 6 months off in March. Likely to come on for that, but improvement is needed if he is to make a successful tapeta debut in refitted cheekpieces.

Lightly-raced filly who made all readily in a 1¼m maiden at Chelmsford when last seen in August. Bred to appreciate this step up in trip and makes handicap debut for a new trainer who has enjoyed success with similar recruits. May have more to offer.

Made a successful start for Hayley Burton in a 1½m Lingfield handicap in March and posted a creditable effort when sixth of 13 in a similar event at Yarmouth 12 days ago. The return to the all-weather and step back up in trip looks a positive move.

Won a Chelmsford handicap in August and ran well when second of 9 at Kempton in October. Seemed stretched by 1½m and ill at ease back on the track at Newmarket last time, but this test should suit better and he returns from a break for yard adept at readying one.
