Betfred 'Play Fred's 5 Million' Handicap

Gained a deserved success (formerly with Richard Hannon) for new yard in 26-runner handicap at Glorious Goodwood and improved further to defy a 4 lb higher mark in a 7-runner event at Redcar 23 days ago (both 6f, good to firm). Unlikely to have finished progressing yet.

Has edged down the weights this season and returned to form from this mark when third of 7 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 8 days ago.

Seems most effective on quick ground and bounced back to his best when a narrow winner at C&D last month. Perhaps surprisingly looked ill at ease on the track when fifth of 6 in handicap (3/1) at Brighton (7f, good) 25 days ago and is worth considering back at Epsom.

Overcame obvious inexperience when winning novice at Kempton in December but was unable to land the odds at Newcastle following month. Possibly needed the run making handicap/turf debut at York in June after 5 months off and market may prove best guide back from another break (has been gelded).

A 6f maiden winner in Ireland last summer but hasn't offered much promise in 4 handicaps for current yard this season. Step back up in trip needs to work the oracle.

Won at Brighton in June before notching a second course success at C&D 17 days ago, responding well from off the pace having been suited by a strong gallop. 7-lb claimer retains the ride and he's considered after a 2 lb rise.
