Verdict
BIG GYPSY KING was well-backed when making a good start for her new yard last month and shaped as though this drop to 7f may suit on second start in handicap company. She's likely to be well-positioned in a race without much pace on paper and is marginally preferred to My Boy Harry who arrives on the back of a more encouraging effort. Similar comments apply to Aim For The Bull, who could be a threat to all if building on his previous effort, now tried in headgear.

VerdictFound less than looked likely when blinkered for first time, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 21 days ago. Remains to be seen if change of headgear (back in cheekpieces) prompts a stronger finishing effort.- 4. Aim For The BullJ: Sean Dylan BowenT: Mike MurphyF: 59037-4

VerdictLightly-raced gelding matched previous form on second start for this yard when fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 28 days ago, running on. Can give a good account with cheekpieces on for first time.

VerdictLightly-raced maiden fared no better when blinkered for first time, finishing below form sixth of 15 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 28/1) 10 days ago. Needs more.

VerdictLightly-raced maiden was strong in the betting on first run since leaving Darryll Holland when positively-ridden to finish third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 23 days ago, no extra late on. May yet do better back at 7f on second start for new yard (races from 1 lb out of handicap). - 8. My Boy HarryJ: Jim CrowleyT: Jim & Suzi BestF: 008-564
