5/2

Confirmed earlier promise when bagging 10-runner novice at Windsor (8.1f, good) 32 days ago. More to offer now going into handicaps so must enter calculations.

Form: 3-21

4/1

Gelded/had a wind op before posting a career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Up 4 lb but scored readily there so holds leading claims.

11/4

Fairly useful form in novices before easily landing the odds in 8-runner maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Much respected on his handicap bow.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods| OR: 88| D

5/1

9/1

Got off the mark at Yarmouth in May and backed it up with a very good fourth of 10 in handicap at Newbury (8f, firm) 55 days ago. In the picture.

Form: 82-14

Forecasts

Accentuate (5/2), Sea Force (11/4), Lakers (4/1), Hymnbook (5/1), Roman Centurion (9/1), Knights Gold (12/1)

LAKERS took a big step forward on the back of breathing surgery when making a winning return at Newmarket and can defy a 4 lb rise to edge out Nottingham scorer Sea Force who also looks to have better days ahead of him. Accentuate and Knights Gold can both have a say too in this intriguing handicap.
