New Thomas Arms Handicap

Lightly-raced maiden who showed promise last term but ran very poorly on return/handicap debut at Nottingham 39 days ago. That was too bad to be true but she has a bit to prove now.

Promising individual who took her form to a new level when very good second at Wolverhampton (1½m) in April before narrowly opening her account over same C&D last month. Likely more to come yet.

Found improvement when narrowly taking 6-runner handicap over similar trip at Haydock 26 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and looks likely to go well again.

Proved disappointing on Doncaster handicap bow in April but had shaped well in a trio of starts last term. This run should reveal more.

Brought along steadily in novice/maiden company last autumn and posted solid fourth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (1¼m, AW) on return 35 days ago. May have more to give yet, particularly over this longer trip.

Failed to come on from reappearance run when fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (11f) 36 days ago and is now tried in blinkers for first time.

Promise in maidens/minor events but sent off big odds and finished well beaten on handicap debut at Redcar 17 days ago. Improvement required.

Posted best effort for Jessica Harrington when fourth of 10 in maiden over shorter trip at Cork 32 days ago. Makes handicap debut for new yard here and is worth monitoring in the market.

100,000 gns son of New Bay but only modest form in a trio of starts this spring, sixth of 9 in novice at Epsom on latest outing. In good hands as he goes significantly up in trip for handicap debut.
