Racing TV Handicap

Capitalised on much-reduced mark to score at Newcastle (1m) prior to following up in good style over C&D on Wednesday. Remains well treated on old form and sound claims in hat-trick bid.

Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. 16/1, good third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 50 days ago, headed final 100 yds and no extra having travelled fluently. Not underestimated with yard amongst the winners.

C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Below form tenth of 16 in minor event at Doncaster (1m) in September, weakening over 1f out. Not dismissed from this sort of mark on yard debut.

First run since leaving Roger Fell when seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 40/1) 16 days ago, in rear and never landing a blow. Cheekpieces back on.

Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at this course (7f) 40 days ago, keeping on having been under pressure some way out. Needs to build on that now.

Latest win over C&D in October. 9/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 39 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Maiden who ran best race to date when runner-up in a C&D handicap in November. Shaped as if still in good form when sixth in 13-runner Southwell handicap (1m) subsequently and not out of things from this sort of mark.

Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago. Market should guide now sights are set on handicaps.

Eased in weights and confirmed promise of previous run when staying on to lead final strides in a C&D handicap in November. Not in same form back here 3 weeks ago but a better showing not ruled out granted a good pace to aim at.
