Knocking at the door in AW handicaps for new stable; holds solid claims

Last two 6f efforts suggest this drop in trip is well worth exploring; respected
1 (5)	Doctor Vuby Bay J:Billy Garritty T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Billy Garritty T:Michael & David Easterby	135	t	624-	73	78	56	36d	—	—	+2	11.9	2.25/1	9/1 10%

2-3 at Chelmsford but has something to prove in this grade

Chance hinges on whether this drop to 5f has positive effect
