Big Stage Hire Amateur Jockeys' Handicap

Largely in doldrums since winning off 3 lb higher at Lingfield (1½m) in February. Ran better than for a while when 2½ lengths third in change of headgear here (1½m) last time. Not discounted if cheekpieces have a positive effect again.

Largely consistent sort who showed improved form to decisively win her first handicap at Southwell (1½m) last time. Obvious chance at the weights under a penalty, provided she can confirm that improvement back on turf under a relatively inexperienced rider.

Lightly-raced son of New Bay. Dam, 1½m winner, sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Taghrooda. Has left previous form behind on switch to handicaps/longer trips. Found slowly-run 1¼m against him when 2½ lengths second at Chepstow latest. Step up in distance could see him improve/get off the mark.

Closely related to useful middle-distance winner. Has offered little in trio of 1¼m events to date. Could show more for a significant step up in trip/addition of headgear on handicap debut, for a trainer/jockey combination that typically does well in these events.
