2.25 Newmarket

Form figures of 12 on artificial surfaces and produced best run by miles last time when beaten by a short head in a handicap at Kempton. Back to turf off 8lb higher and form figures of 75 – with best RPR 19lb lower than at Kempton – need improving upon.

Conclusion This is competitive and I'm not convinced.
