DragonBet Welsh Racing Festival 9th-11th October Handicap

Thrice-raced maiden who made the frame on his second start at Lingfield (7f, good to soft). Ran poorly on qualifying run and market may be best guide on handicap bow.

Turned in her best effort when third of 10 at Kempton (6f) on reappearance but has failed to match that since, though shaped better than the bare result on last 2 starts. Expected to stay this longer trip and can't be ignored dropped in grade.

Found improvement to win at Windsor in May and placed there on next 2 starts, latest when second in 5-runner handicap (1m, good to firm) 6 days ago after conceding first run. Looks the standout on form racing from the same mark as last time.

Lightly-raced maiden. Showed first worthwhile form when second of 7 to Thanos in handicap over C&D (good to firm, 14/1) in May. Bumped into a progressive rival there and should find this an easier task down in grade.

Well placed in a steadily-run affair when off the mark in classified company at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last month and again ran well when fouth in similar event at Yarmouth 8 days later. Steps back into a handicap with Murphy in the saddle.

Took another step forward to share the spoils in an 8-runner 1m Wetherby handicap in April. Placed on 3 of next 4 outings, latest when third at Pontefract 4 days ago, The visor is quickly refitted here.

Best effort this season when second at Yarmouth in April but has since turned in a couple of poor efforts whilst not looking straightforward, even when fitted with more severe headgear when last seen. Has a bit to prove now.
