RHN Travel Handicap (Div 1)

Excelled himself, from 13 lb out of the handicap, when third of 16 at Chepstow (1m, soft) 21 days ago. Raised 5 lb since but is not taken lightly here.

Went close from what was a career-low mark at Wolverhampton in December but little to shout about since and makes limited appeal.

Found things a bit easier taking on her elders for the first time when third at Bath earlier this month but was too keen at same course since. Others preferred.

Ex-Irish gelding who was successful over 1m at Bellewstown in autumn 2024. Lightly raced since but shaped better than on debut for new yard when second of 8 in minor event over C&D (good to soft) 24 days ago, better placed than most. Cheekpieces back on. Not discounted.

Surprise 66/1 winner of a seller over 7f at Salisbury on second start last year, however, she's shown very little in handicaps since.

Long-standing maiden who has tended to save his best for Newcastle and he returned to form in first-time visor when third over 1m at that venue in July. Since changed hands for 3,000 gns and failed to beat a rival home over C&D since. Visor back on.

Offered little in a trio of novice events and no upturn dropped into classified company over 7f here in June. Others make much more appeal. 1 lb out of the handicap.

Posted best effort of this year when close second at this course (7f) last month and shaped better than the distance beaten when fifth of 11 in handicap at Bath (1m, good to firm) 9 days ago, finishing with running left. Likely player.

Low-mileage 3-y-o has looked limited in handicaps thus far, including tried over a longer trip at Lingfield latest. 1 lb out of the weights. Improvement required.
