6	Long-standing maiden, though posted another creditable effort in handicaps when chasing home a low-mileage sort from top yard at Hereford latest, and he should be in the mix again. 2nd Pick 6 Churchman Jockey: J. Hogan Trainer: Alastair Ralph J: J. Hogan T: Alastair Ralph	99	-	-	-	29%
Analysis Long-standing maiden, though posted another creditable effort in handicaps when chasing home a low-mileage sort from top yard at Hereford latest, and he should be in the mix again.
7	Having seemingly been campaigned with handicaps in mind, he's yet to make any impact, for all the drop back in trip/addition of first-time cheekpieces could be in his favour. 3rd Pick 7 Harksman Jockey: James Best Trainer: Martin Keighley J: James Best T: Martin Keighley	98	-	-	-	10%
Analysis Having seemingly been campaigned with handicaps in mind, he's yet to make any impact, for all the drop back in trip/addition of first-time cheekpieces could be in his favour.
