Cupa Slates Handicap (GBBPlus Race) · 1m5f16y
SR 66 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least.
Won twice over about 1m6f last September; low-key seasonal return last month but he fared better, albeit beaten at a short price, at Nottingham 18 days ago; shouldn't be too far away.
SR 73 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Made a winning handicap debut for Ed Walker off this mark last September (extended 1m3f, heavy); well short of that level in three runs for his new connections and he could prove vulnerable again.
