Pertemps Network Handicap

Much improved since sent handicapping/fitted with a visor, registering comfortable victories at Wolverhampton and Newcastle during the winter before adding further 2 to his tally on turf last month. Up 5 lb but limit may not have been reached.

Cheap Havana Gold filly who followed promising Leicester debut second with a pair of decisive all-weather wins, backed as though defeat was out of the question in thin Newcastle (6f) novice in November. Likely to continue her progression now handicapping and high hopes she'll stay this far.

Progressed at 2 yrs (close second in 7f Newmarket novice in November) but faced a stiff task when tenth in the Nell Gwyn there 24 days ago. No surprise to see her bounce back on handicap debut upped slightly in distance.

Off 6 months/gelded before getting off the mark in 11-runner maiden at Catterick (7f) a month ago. Needs considering back in handicap company for his in-form stable.

Victor Ludorum colt who signed off 2-y-o campaign in the perfect fashion in a minor race at Saint-Malo. Found out in a better race at Chantilly a month ago and cheekpieces on returned to Britain.

Triple winner over 7f for Karl Burke in 2025 and signed off with an excellent second at Newmarket. Changed hands for 60,000 gns and while always behind on reappearance, he'll surely show more this time.

Confirmed debut promise when winning 8-runner 1m maiden at Kempton in February by 1¾ lengths from Ablon (won next time). The yard's runners have been in good form of late and he appeals as the type to go on improving switching to turf and tackling a handicap for the first time.

Stand out effort when taking 7-runner 1m novice at Ayr in September by a neck, though had excuses when upped to 1¼m last time (raced too freely). Makes debut for new stable (quiet start to the season) after 7 months off.

Hit the frame all 3 starts in a trio of quick runs over 7f during the autumn. Type to make a better 3-y-o (gelded) and represents yard with a good record with similar types.

Shaped quite well over 1m at Southwell last month (had to wait for a gap) and confirmed that promise when landing the odds back there 2 weeks ago. Going the right way and in expert hands as he switches back to grass.
