Elmstone Fire Handicap

Returned in a Newbury novice that has worked out really well and took a big step forward as he landed 6f Brighton maiden last month, taking a keen hold but drawing clear and eased. More to come again now handicapping.

Won 6f Goodwood novice at 2 yrs and couple of good efforts this season at Kempton and Newmarket. Ran too badly to be true at Epsom last time and can bounce back with sights lowered and tongue tie fitted.

Fairly useful winner over 5f/6f in Ireland last year but has lost his way and falling in the weights without giving much sign he's ready to take advantage.

Back on track switched to the minimum trip in recent months, taking handicap here in May and resuming winning ways at Yarmouth last week, showing a willing attitude. Nudged up another 3 lb and can go well again.

Off the mark at Wolverhampton (7f) in May and has continued in form, going with lots of enthusiasm when third at Windsor (1m) and again back at Wolverhampton last week. May need to settle better returned to 6f but clearly has more races in him.
