Bumped into a major improver at Worcester and he's off the same mark here
4	Diamond Geezer Brown J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	160	—	2-056	94	102	61	36d	—	—	-4	22.5	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Poor hurdle form but now goes handicapping off a low mark and should do better
6	Holy Legend Bay J:Adam Wedge T:Alexandra Dunn	J:Adam Wedge T:Alexandra Dunn	157	h	/47-33	91	96	67	49d	—	—	-2	15.3	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Recent third here was remote and jumping has to improve; handicap debut

Ten-race maiden; placed twice; didn't convince over this far when last seen

Showed enough in one of his runs to warrant a second look on this handicap debut

He's not yet been overly competitive but that could change now handicapping

Poor so far but handicap newcomers from this yard are always of interest
