Weatherbys Racing Bank Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Frankel colt who found only one too good on each of his 3 starts in novice company before a third of 9 on handicap debut at Chester (10.3f) 8 days ago. Seems sure to be suited by the longer trip and promises to go well once again.

Shaped well when runner-up in 7f novices at Yarmouth and Chelmsford last year. Not especially progressive since and seemed to find a more competitive race a bit of a culture shock when fourth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Epsom (1¼m, soft) 25 days ago. Holds place claims nevertheless.

Has progressed gradually across 3 starts in maidens, most recently when second of 5 at Hamilton (11f, good) 3 weeks ago. Yard form still a bit of a concern but he's likely to continue to go the right way now handicapping.

Wootton Bassett colt who reached 575,000 gns as a yearling. Improved from his debut when third of 9 in a maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) in October and back on track (lost action on return) when a staying-on third of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (1½m, good to firm). Makes appeal again.

Won 3 nurseries and returned with 2 good placed efforts at Kempton on first 2 starts this year but seemingly in a bit of a lull at present, a first-time visor not really sparking him back to form at Lingfield last month.
