2/1

Built on a promising fifth on debut when registering a neck victory in a 1m4f AW maiden at Lingfield last time out. Interesting to see how he fares on turf and handicap debut.

Iron Heart^p²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 77

2/5

Best effort in three starts since the resumption of racing came when 2L second in a 1m4f handicap at Newmarket (good-to-firm) last time out. One to note racing off a 1lb higher mark in this contest.

Form: 3-31472

Forecasts

Iron Heart (2/5), Without A Fight (15/8), Gentleman At Arms (2/1), Overpriced Mixer (9/4), Lyrical (14/1)

WITHOUT A FIGHT looks likely to appreciate this step up in distance and he is the selection to make a winning handicap debut in this small field event. The selection represents a good yard and is taken to get the better of Overpriced Mixer who is stepping up in distance on his first start since joining his predominantly jumps orientated stable. Third place can go the way of Iron Heart who receives weight from all of his rivals.
