Sky Bet For The Fans Handicap

Winner at Newcastle in December but not much impact since, albeit taking a small step back in right direction when fourth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Ayr (1m, firm) 9 days ago. His task is now to build on that.

Has a good record here (3 C&D wins) and runner-up twice at this track in April. No better than respectable efforts of late, though, and he trailed home last of 10 in a handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Blinkers back on.

Went close at Doncaster early this month before finally ending a lengthy losing run in an 8-runner handicap at Chester (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago, albeit probably somewhat fortunate given the runner-up had a very troubled passage. Still feasibly treated from 3 lb higher.

Proved suited by more positive tactics when getting off the mark for 2026 in 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) at the start of last month and backed that up with another creditable second of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7f, good) 2 weeks later. Respected again after another 2 lb rise.

Had been shaping up quite well prior to snapping a near 3-year losing run in an 8-runner handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to firm, 13/8) 23 days ago. Has gone well at this track before and he makes appeal again from 3 lb higher.

Produced his most encouraging effort so far on just his second handicap outing when fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (firm, 9/1) 14 days ago, left poorly placed before making ground up late. Can build on that having been dropped 1 lb.

No better than mid-field in 4 starts for this yard, including when switched back to all-weather at Newcastle 4 weeks earlier. Visor goes on but has plenty to prove.

Winner at Musselburgh last August but hasn't given much indication that he's ready to capitalise on a mark that has edged back down in 3 outings this year.
