Roy Grimwood Memorial Handicap

Ran to a fair level as a 2-y-o but hasn't gone with much promise both starts this season. Must improve with the first-time cheekpieces added.

On the up since switching to the turf with the cheekpieces on with a string of second-placed finishes, latest at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago. Runs off the same mark as then and holds leading claims back on the all-weather.

Much improved to get off the mark on handicap debut at this course over 9.5f in March. Hasn't gone on both starts since on the turf, with excuses on the first outing, and needs to bounce back returned to the all-weather.

Lightly-raced maiden who's been placed all 5 starts to date, taking a step forward on form when third of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft, 9/1) in May. Has the first-time blinkers fitted and should be thereabouts.

Made the frame in 2 all-weather novice events before failing to improve on handicap debut at Southwell when last seen in January. Has work to do on return.

Still to get her head in front but she posted a very good second at Haydock (1m) in May. Wasn't in the same form at this course 10 days later after a very slow start.

Progressive form in handicaps saw him record a ready success in 13-runner event at Kempton (1m) in May, form that looks solid for the grade. Failed to repeat that back on the turf at Newbury 25 days ago but appeals as on a good mark and has to be taken seriously back on the all-weather.

Landed a 7f maiden at this course on second start in March. Hasn't gone forward since and has to bounce back from a recent poor effort at Carlisle last month.

Placed in a novice at Kempton last year before a couple of low-key efforts in handicaps this season. Remaining at this trip is a concern.

Recorded a surprise success at Newcastle (1m, 50/1) on the back of a breathing operation but has finished tailed off in 3 outings since. Blinkered for the first time but has plenty to prove right now.

Won 3 times this year with the latest over C&D in April. Remains in form since, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests when third at Ripon (1m, good to firm) in June, not ideally placed. Has each-way claims again.

Free-going sort who was a dual winner round here on first 2 starts for Clive Cox at the turn of the year. Below form since in handicaps for current yard and has tumbled in the weights as a result. Makes little appeal at present unless the market speaks in his favour.
