This handicap should throw up winners in the coming weeks, the winner thriving and the second and fourth, Ron O, both shaped with encouragement.
Ron O can boast a positive record on all-weather and he shaped well on his return to this surface, likely to have made more of an impact had he been asked for maximum effort earlier.
He travelled smoothly and was switched for a run around two furlongs out, though he met trouble soon after and kept on well under a hands-and-heels ride, finishing with running left at the line. Ron O will be of interest next time if found another opportunity at this track.

On the sidelines since finishing fourth in a maiden at Doncaster over a year ago, Throubi very much caught the eye here on her belated reappearance and is one to note with the run under her belt.
Held up in the early stages, she travelled well and made steady headway from two furlongs out under considerate handling, ultimately passing the post five and a half lengths behind the winner (finished with running left).
Trained by James Fanshawe, Throubi leaves the impression her first three runs have only scratched the surface of her potential – a view supported by her pedigree (by Teofilo and out of a useful performer) – and she should be placed to win races before too long, especially with handicaps now an option.
