Settings
Selected odds by:
Nineteen runs since last win in 2022 but posted a good second of 6 in handicap at York (13.8f, good) 14 days ago when not ideally placed. Solid claims.
|
1 win from 3 runs this year. 33/1, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this course (12.3f, soft) 28 days ago, responding well. Not taken lightly.
|
2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Nottingham in May. Good second of 8 in handicap at this course (12.3f, good to firm, 11/4) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Well in the mix.
|
5/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (15.9f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Very much one to consider.
|
Latest win at Bath in June. Last of 4 in handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Others have achieved more.
|
Promising sort who posted a career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to soft) 5 days ago, kept up to work. Carries 6 lb penalty but has more to offer and expected to be bang there.

WHATSGOINGONMARVIN hit the right note on his handicap debut when scoring at Ayr and a 6 lb penalty doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Bulldog Spirit should ensure Sir Mark Prescott's improver doesn't have things all his own way though with Tailorman and Polling Day also well worthy of consideration.
