Twyford Down Cutting Handicap

Scored at Wolverhampton in November but well held back on turf last 2 starts in the spring.

Signed off for 2025 with 6f Newmarket win (Rowley Mile) off this mark. Better with each run this season before excuses at Doncaster latest.

Won first 2 of 3 starts last year and has improved in handicaps this season without scoring, the form of his runner-up effort at Leicester looking particularly strong. Not seen to best effect both starts since and he remains of interest.

Can be temperamental but he stepped up on his stable debut/reappearance when ¾-length third of 20 at York. Decent efforts in defeat next 2 starts but latest run here was one of his uncooperative efforts. Back down in class.

Last 3 wins have come at Redcar, including when making all last month. Has also won over C&D and was a good second back here last week, running right up to his best as he pulled clear of the rest.

Won twice on all-weather 5 months apart (left Adrian Murray and gelded in between) and quickly resumed his progression when close second at Hamilton. Weak in the market when playing little part in much stronger race at York since and subsequently sold from Ben Haslam for 47,000 gns.

Coming good for his current yard now, not seen to best effect when third over C&D before making amends in big field at York 4 weeks ago. Can make another bold bid up 5 lb.

Only had to step up a little on juvenile efforts to get off the mark in Newbury maiden on return and found a good chunk of improvement when following up over C&D on handicap debut. Limitations rather exposed next 2 starts, though. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Twice a winner this spring, including over this trip on the Rowley Mile. Best effort since when sixth of 26 at Glorious Goodwood last month.

Veteran who had a good spell in the spring, winning twice, but he needs to shrug off a couple of disappointing efforts.

Free-going sort who took advantage of a much-reduced mark on just third run for current stable over C&D 2 weeks ago. Decent third back here the following week, unable to reel in a couple of prominent racers after a slow start.

Has a great record here and went close to completing a quick-fire C&D hat-trick when ¾-length third to Fifty Nifty 2 weeks ago. 4 lb better off with the winner here so should go well again.

Four wins over 6f/7f for Stuart Williams last year but no show both starts for new yard this summer.
