Three-year-old improver for Hannon

Leavy in the saddle adds to appeal
Mr Baloo - 13/27.50 on the Betfair Sportsbook - bounced back to form when he returned to the all-weather over course and distance 35 days ago with a strong finishing effort in a slightly better race than this (0-85). He might be worth chancing to build on that, considering the race didn't pan out favourable from his racing position.
The three-year-old clearly prefers the all-weather and is a two-time course scorer. His latest effort can be marked up, considering he was forced to come from a mile off an ordinary gallop. He stuck to the task very well down the middle of the track to finish a two-length sixth, catching the eye under the handling of Alec Voikhansky.
Today, Sean Leavy takes over in the saddle and is drawn well to be in the thick of things. He has a progressive profile on the AW with rising RPR ratings, and there may be more to come from him on his back form. In October last year at Newmarket, he was behind the smart pair Fair Angelica and Witness Stand when rated 1lb higher. There is nothing of that calibre in this race, and he appeals at 4/15.00 or bigger from this fair rating of 79. The big danger will come from Tennessee Gold, who has a race in him based on this rating.
