Proved that he handles slow ground when striking off this mark at Yarmouth (6f) last term. Has yet to fire this year though, hanging left when well held at Windsor 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Quickly got back on track to land a first handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) in February. Good efforts since and remains of interest off his lower turf mark.

Built on a series of good efforts to come out on top in 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 29 days ago. Likely to continue in form.

Bounced back to form to make a winning start for Darryll Holand at Kempton (6f) in April. Respectable fourth in a deeper race since, but first-time blinkers need to eke out a bit more.

Went close a few times last season. Underperformed on return at Brighton last month but could bounce back from a falling mark.

4-time winner at this trip but has run poorly on his last three starts, including in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton last time. Enough to prove at present.

Proved better than ever when blitzing his rivals at Nottingham on final 2020 start. Satisfactory start for new yard when second in 7f event at Chelmsford and of interest now refitted with blinkers.

Went liked the best horse at the weights when only just denied in 7-runner handicap Salisbury (6f, good to firm) on yard debut 16 days ago. Merits respect.

16:20 Newmarket - 14 May 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

BEZZAS LAD seems a better model in blinkers, so he looks the most persuasive option back in that headgear following a respectable start for his new yard at Chelmsford last month. Athollblair Boy is likely to continue in form, while Sir Oliver and Lordsbridge Boy also merit respect.
