Shaped well when fifth of 15 in handicap (11/1) at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 4 days ago, not knocked about. Looks to be finding her feed for new yard and of interest.

11/2, fifth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago, slowly away. Seems to be gradually working his way back ot peak fitness, so not taken lightly.

Well held in 3 starts for Mick Channon in 2022 and, after nearly 3 years off, shaped as if needing run when last of 10 on handicap debut at Redcar on return.

Forecasts

Woohoo (10/3), Match Play (10/3), Royal Duke (7/2), Newyorkstateofmind (6/1), Chester Le Streak (13/2), Kyber Crystal (8/1), Refuge (11/1), Fumbleinthejungle (100/1)

17:35 Hamilton - 16 May 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

MATCH PLAY took another step back in the right direction when third at Redcar just over a fortnight ago and gets the nod to take advantage of his much-reduced mark fitted with first-time blinkers. Newyorkstateofmind is sure to be on the premises if reproducing his latest effort, with Woohoo and Royal Duke others to consider.
