Madar Corporation Handicap

Better than ever when winning over 1m at Sandown in May and has backed it up since when placed at same course and at Goodwood both starts since. The form of the latter race is working out quite well and he's expected to be bang there.

Useful in Ireland for Ger Lyons but without a win since his debut and he's offered little in 3 outings for new connections this summer. Plenty to prove at present.

Has won twice from 5 runs this year, at Nottingham in May and Newmarket in August. Wasn't seen to best effect when 2½ lengths fourth of 7 to Inspired at Goodwood just 4 days ago, not ideally placed. Can give a good account providing the short turnaround doesn't come too quickly.

Made a successful start for current trainer at Redcar (1m) in April but followed that with a couple of poor efforts. Stopped the slide to some degree at Southwell last time with first-time blinkers fitted and is now back down to his last winning mark.

Showed benefit of reappearance run when making breakthrough in handicaps at York (9f) in June, showing a good attitude. Was quickly back to form when making the frame at Hamilton just over 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go on for the first time with Murphy also back in the saddle.

Left his debut behind when winning Kempton novice with a hood added last summer and then finished down the field in the Solario at Sandown next time. Off nearly a year when fifth of 6 on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm, 6/1) 26 days ago. Mark looks a stiff one.

Made successful return in novice at Bath over 1¼m in April and gradually worked way back in handicaps when landing 8-runner race at Windsor (1m, firm, 13/8) 21 days ago. Hasn't always looked straightforward, but can go well again after a 5 lb rise with the tongue strap retained.

Off mark in novice at Chelmsford on the back of a 2-year absence last autumn. Made frame on handicap debut at Newcastle in January but hasn't shaped as though suited by the trip on last 2 starts. Drops back down even further in distance with a first-time hood added, though others more persuasive.

Impressive debut winner at Newbury last October and built on that at the second attempt when winning Doncaster novice on reappearance. Shaped as if amiss when tailed-off last of 13 in handicap (3/1) at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in July. Gelded since and market may be best guide.

Doubled his tally at Kempton in February and bounced back to form when second on the all-weather at Lingfield in May. Was too free in testing conditions at Goodwood when last seen the following month. Needs to settle better with potentially similar conditions in store.

Still looked green but built on earlier promise to bag 7-runner maiden at Leicester (1m) in June. Wasn't seen to best effect having been drawn in double figures on handicap debut at Goodwood in July and is worth another chance.
