Carey Group Handicap

Cracksman colt who confirmed promise showed in maiden/novice events when successful on nursery debut at Ayr (1m) in September. Mid-field in big-field event at Doha (7f) in December but this sort of test promises to suit returned to these shores.

Haydock maiden winner in September. Decent third at Beverley on return/handicap bow and looks ready for the step up in trip.

Progressive sort who followed up his novice win at Pontefract when getting up late at Kempton on handicap debut final 2-y-o start. Should have more to offer up in trip this year.

Left debut behind when second of 9 in maiden at Goodwood, suited by increase in trip. Unable to land the odds next 2 starts, including when just edged out at Epsom on return. Headgear may help and likely to stay this far, so shortlisted on handicap bow.

Narrow winner of an ordinary maiden at Wolverhampton on debut but failed to build on that when fourth under a penalty there 2 weeks ago. More needed switched to handicaps.

Fairly useful form at 2 yrs and made a creditable return when third at Newcastle last month. Worth a try at this trip and opening mark is a fair one.

Stepped up on 2-y-o form when third of 12 in novice (16/1) at Kempton (8f) 59 days ago, not knocked about. Longer trip should suit on handicap debut and he's open to further improvement.

Winner of novice at Lingfield in December 12/1, good fourth of 8 on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) following month. Off 128 days. Significantly up in trip. Others look better treated.
