1/1

Third of 6 in handicap at Sandown (13/8) 26 days ago, headway 2f out but couldn't sustain effort. Superbly-bred and remains capable of better.

Ethelwulf¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 67

5/1

Finished sixth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (25/1) 16 days ago, plugging on but not given a hard time after hanging right. Makes handicap/turf debut now and there's definitely an air of unfinished business.

Fair form at best in novice events. Upped in trip for handicap debut and could do better.

Forecasts

Itraaq (1/1), King's Castle (7/2), Ethelwulf (5/1), Jonnie (13/2), Mersea Island (11/1), Suitcase Smith (28/1), Potters Marmite (50/1)

A couple of well-bred 3-y-os from top Newmarket yards catch the eye in ITRAAQ and Ethelwulf. Itraaq wasn't seen to best effect when well backed on handicap debut at Sandown and is worth another chance. Ethelwulf switches to turf and handicaps with the potential for a lot better, while the 8-y-o King's Castle might make his presence felt back down in class.
