Gamble Responsibly At BetUK Handicap

7/4, won 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 19 days ago, finding extra. Can defy another small rise.

C&D winner who has been successful at Wolverhampton and Lingfield this winter. Good runner-up efforts here on last 2 starts and should go well again.

6/4, creditable second of 7 in C&D handicap 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly.

Well behind Tortured Soul when sixth of 8 over C&D (12/1) 5 days ago. Others are preferred.

Hasn't beaten a rival on his last 3 outings and can only be watched at present.

Hinted at ability in his 3 outings last year but an opening handicap mark of 69 looks tough on the face of things.

Ended time with Rebecca Menzies on a low note at Wolverhampton just after Christmas. On the same mark as when scoring at Haydock last summer but betting perhaps the best guide to expectations starting out for Brian Ellison.

Fair Flat winner for William Knight in 2023 but has struggled to make an impact over hurdles for this yard in more recent times.
