Hammer The Hammer
HAMMER THE HAMMER continued on his steep upward trajectory when following up his maiden success with a commanding handicap debut victory back at Southwell 10 days ago. He needs to prove he's as effective on turf but could well be worth siding with to prove as much turned out under a penalty. Bob Mali appeals as a chief danger from a handy draw under William Buick. Diligently, Cabelleroso and Force And Valour rate next best.

Successful on 3 of his 4 starts as a juvenile for Ollie Sangster and, gelded/off 6 months, showed improved form starting out for new yard when very good second of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 21 days ago.

Lightly-raced sort who continues to go the right way, gaining a second wide-margin victory on AW when landing 13-runner handicap at Southwell (6f) 10 days ago.

Back on the up after 6 months off equipped with a first-time hood when successful from the front in 9-runner novice at Chelmsford (7f) in December. Had something to find and failed to improve when fifth of 7 in listed company at Lingfield (7f) 63 days ago and this more suitable now handicapping.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat5/7Chelmsford City7fStandardFlat1/9Doncaster7f 6yGood to SoftFlat5/9Chester6f 17yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat2/6- 6(1)DiligentlyJ: Saffie OsborneT: Clive Cox404381-Age 38/18/19/1

Left his previous form behind when getting off the mark at the sixth time of asking in valuable sales race at the York Ebor meeting (6f) last August. Has the plum draw to operate from on seasonal bow/returned to handicaps and he's one to factor into calculations.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYork6fGood to FirmFlat1/20Sandown Park5f 10yGood to FirmFlat8/8Nottingham5f 8yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/10Windsor6f 12yGood to FirmFlat4/11Newbury6fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat11/20- 7(6)CycloniteJ: Hollie DoyleT: James Ferguson191-333Age 310/110/19/1

Twice successful in 6f, AW handicaps as a 2-y-o and holding form well since the turn of the year, best effort yet after 10-weeks off when third of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 19 days ago.

Progressed through last term, ending campaign with victory in 4-runner novice at Leicester (6f, heavy) in October. Feasible to think the run was needed when eighth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f) 21 days ago but he will need to step up plenty on that.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (rowley)6fGood to SoftFlat8/10Leicester6fHeavyFlat1/4York6fSoft (Heavy in places)Flat2/8Newbury6fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/12Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat6/12- 2(8)Force And ValourJ: Callum ShepherdT: George Scott321-663Age 312/112/111/1

Put his experience to good use when registering a second career success in 9-runner novice at Newcastle (5f) in November. Better with each start in Meydan since the turn of the year, third in 16-runner handicap (7f) in February and he's not discounted on return to these shores.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMeydan6f 211yGoodFlat3/16Meydan7f 210yFastFlat6/15Meydan5f 212yGoodFlat6/14Newcastle5fStandardFlat1/9Southwell4f 214yStandardFlat2/10- 12(14)The Flying SeagullJ: Richard KingscoteT: Hugo Palmer16-7372Age 318/118/116/1

C&D maiden winner at 2 yrs who ran his best race yet when second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 15/2) 19 days ago, collared dying strides.

Improved starting out for new yard when landing back-to-back maiden/novice events on AW earlier this year.

Deservedly hit the target in 3-runner Chelmsford novice (5f) in January. Looked out of her depth in competitive affair at Lingfield next time but bettered that when respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (6f) 5 days ago.

Pick of form as a juvenile came with give underfoot, signing off with success in 10-runner nursery at York (5f, soft) in October. Changed hands for 40,000 gns, shaped as if needing the run after 7 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (5f) 12 days ago.

Opened his account at third attempt in a Chelmsford novice (6f) in October and creditable efforts both starts since, off 5 months before finishing a good third of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) 15 days ago.
