Newmarket Race 7 - Betway Launches Super Sub Hcp
I'LL BE BACK (1) remains unbeaten after two starts and returns from twelve weeks off for his handicap debut. A Leicester win tackling 1400m suggested there is more to come and sets a strong standard. Holds leading claims. IRONWILL (4) managed to take a step back in the right direction when third attempting 1400m at Sandown Park. This looks suitable on best form. Represents the main danger. WINDING STREAM (2) was well held at Ascot. Finds something easier while shaped well earlier in the campaign. Makes appeal. PROUD NATION (3) finished fifth at Chester and Warren Fentiman claiming 1.5kg helps his chances. Not discounted.

Third-up today. First-up ran last in a small field at Hamilton Park on May 3 over 1700m, 5 len behind Conclave carrying 61.5kg at $3.50. Second run from a spell from last on the turn 5th of 9 at Chester on June 13 over 1500m, 2.5 len behind Jeddaal with 56kg at $11. Has been racing well. Fitter and is right in the mix.
