Race And Rest At The Holiday Inn Handicap

Free-going sort who added to his debut success (when trained by Clive Cox) when winning handicap at Leicester (1¼m, firm) 7 days ago. Carries penalty and needs to prove he can back that up.

A winner at Chelmsford in January and held form well after, runner-up over C&D on penultimate start. Ran poorly back on turf last time. Has the cheekpieces re-added and appeals as the type to bounce back quickly.

Dual winner on the all-weather at Lingfield earlier this year but has disappointed more recently, on turf latest. Back on the synthetics but is one to treat with a degree of caution now.

Ended a long losing run on return in 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton in April. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (11f, 9/1) 33 days ago.

Gained reward for consistency when winning at Chelmsford in February and largely acquitted himself well since, third of 8 in handicap over C&D (6/1) 15 days ago. Has the cheekpieces back on and can make presence felt.

Successful 4 times on the all-weather this year, latest over C&D on April. Best not judged on recent run on turf. Can bounce back.

Lightly-raced maiden who showed modest form on first 3 starts. Run best excused when behind on handicap debut when last seen in October. Is fitted with a first-time tongue strap and his pedigree is an ongoing recommendation, though market best guide on return.

5-time C&D winner. 25/1, first run since leaving Mark Loughnane when sixth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (1¼m, good) 24 days ago. Not seen to best effect then and this veteran may need a few runs to get up to speed.

Ended losing run over C&D in March and good placed efforts since, including when third over C&D latest having been caught further back than the pair that beat him and meeting some trouble. Looks sure to be in the mix again.

Long-standing maiden who showed little on recent stable debut on the back of a breathing operation.

Only has a nursery success to her name. Little promise of late and is hard to make a case for.
