Lightly-raced maiden who ran poorly making stable debut when last of 8 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 66/1) 20 days ago, weakening over 2f out. Needs to leave that well behind if he's to figure.
|
Just modest form in his qualifying runs but much improved when second of 8 on handicap debut over C&D 17 days ago, keeping on well from 2f out to pull clear of remainder. Up 6 lb as a result but he's of definite interest with further progress distinctly possible.
|
Ended time with William Haggas on an upward curve, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts in 8-runner handicap at Redcar (1m, soft) in November. Nudged up 3 lb on the back of that and fancied to remain competitive starting out for new stable.
|
Progressive from a low base as a juvenile, gaining a second career success over C&D in September. Ended last year with a good second in 6-runner Bath nursery (1m) in November and he commands respect back from a 4-month break.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 12/1) 34 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Visor back on and likely he has a bigger effort in his locker. Respected.
|
Maiden who was proving consistent before a below form fourth of 8 in a C&D handicap 17 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for now and he rates a likely candidate to bounce back.
|
Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in maiden (33/1) at Chelmsford City (6f). Off 145 days. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut and the betting can likely prove a useful guide.
|
Improved stepping up to 1m when second on handicap debut at Lingfield in January and further progress when going one place better in 8-runner handicap at Kempton (1m) 3 weeks ago, drawing clear final 1f. Up 7 lb but that shouldn't prove her limit.

Forecasts
Spec Of Light (6/5), Bownder (5/1), Squires Treaty (11/2), Minelone (6/1), Appleblossomwhite (15/2), Al Waseela (9/1), Duffus Castle (66/1), Bad Habits (80/1)
SPEC OF LIGHT showed much improved form when second on handicap debut over C&D 17 days ago, conceding first run but still pulling a long way with the winner. Open to further progress, he can confirm the promise of that with victory here. Easy Kempton scorer Appleblossomwhite and Minelone are others in the mix, as is Al Waseela on return to action.
