Pertemps Newton Handicap

Resumed with a good second in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) last month. Out of her depth at Newmarket since but sights lowered now and must be taken seriously.

Found improvement (gelded since last season) when second of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) 25 days ago. In good hands and likely has more to give on handicap debut.

Lightly-raced maiden who posted fair third of 5 in nursery (13/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in November. Step up in trip may suit and warrants respect. Gelded since last seen.

Found some improvement when narrowly opening account in 6-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 25 days ago. 4 lb rise fair but this look more competitive.

Still looking for first success but shaped well (on return from 3 months off) when third of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft, 11/2) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Claims if building on that.

Thrice-raced maiden who returned with fair fifth of 7 in minor event (10/3) at Windsor (10f, heavy) 26 days ago. Will need more to figure on switch to handicaps here but step up in trip looks a good move. Wears first-time visor.

Promising sort who took a step forward when close second of 8 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 60 days ago, sticking to task. 2 lb rise fair and it's likely we haven't seen the best of him yet.

Won on handicap debut at Thirsk (8f) last September and posted solid return when fourth of 9 at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Entitled to build on that but others look better treated. Cheekpieces on first time.

Seven-race maiden who found a little improvement when third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 60 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and is not out of things. Gelded since last seen.
