Celebrate The Life Of Joe Newton Handicap

Much improved having been gelded/switched to handicaps, gaining breakthrough success at Leicester (1½m) in April. Found only a better-treated rival too good in another small-field affair at Hamilton (11f) 11 days ago and he looks the one to beat now stamina is tested further.

Progressing well since switched to handicaps/on all-weather, bringing up the hat-trick at Southwell (1½m) in February. Found his progress coming to a halt up in class at York 12 days ago but this much more suitable now tackling an even longer trip.

Only modest form at 2 yrs and she went with little encouragement after 7 months off when last of 6 in 1¼m handicap here 4 weeks ago. Blinkers go back on in place of cheekpieces but others look to hold much stronger credentials now hiked up further in trip.
