Handicap | Flat | 7f
Maximum Velocity
An open finale in which the suggestion is MAXIMUM VELOCITY who shaped well when third on his handicap debut and had an excuse at Southwell last time. The drop to 7f should suit Space Moon and she's second choice ahead of Tickettothestars and James Owen's new recruit Castlekeely.

No more than hinted at ability in 3 outings over 6f for Eve Johnston Houghton last season but more chance now handicapping on return for the excellent James Owen yard.

Close fifth of 9 on 1m Newcastle handicap debut 23 days ago, no extra late on as if the trip just stretched him. The drop to 7f looks a good move now tackling turf for the first time.

Much improved on reappearance/handicap debut when promising third of 12 over 7f at Newcastle. Things didn't really go his way at Southwell since and he's better judged on the Newcastle effort now back on turf.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell7f 14yStandardFlat9/12Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat3/12Beverley5fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/9Pontefract6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/8Beverley5fSoft (Heavy in places)Flat6/8- 13(15)Diamond AliJ: Dylan HoganT: Julia & Shelley Birkett704278-Age 310/110/111/1
