Reasoning	Won a Class 6 Claiming Stakes race last time out and it was against a tough rival at Carlisle (1m). He won by a neck to Richard Fahey’s Sunnyside Tom the 2/1 joint favorite. The rival had been in good form having finished 4th of 13 in a Class 4 Handicap at the same C&D and followed up with another 4th of 11 in a Class 4 Handicap at the same C&D. Today is a Handicap race but it’s a Class 5 so he should handle the rivals just like the last race. This will be his third race at 1m with the first try for an 8th of 16 by 5 ¾ lengths at the Carlisle (1m) in a Class 4 Handicap. He’s not raced a Class 5 race since last October where he finished 2nd by 2 lengths to Cara’s Request. The rival won 4 of 7 runs from Sept. to Nov. so that effort was very good. The form of the selection in Class 5 reads, 2nd (debut), 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 2nd. Add that to the trip where he’s effective should result in a good outing.

Re: Flat Racing - August 7th, Sunday INDIAN BALLAD 3.15 Leicester. 0.5 points each way. Consistent enough; trip and ground not a concern; weight not a concern if running race. Should have the race run to suit and no reason why he shouldn't be involved in the finish. 6/1 Betfred BOG
