CARAZAM claimed a competitive event at Sandown on his most recent start and he can follow up in the John Jackson Handicap at Beverley.
The six-year-old is certainly well travelled having started his career with Tommy Stack in Ireland before being sent to Hong Kong where he failed to make his mark.
He then made his British bow for William Jarvis at the start of the current campaign, running out a game winner of a reasonable affair at Lingfield after just under a year off the track.
Given that lengthy absence, Carazam can be forgiven his next outing when he appeared to suffer with a bit of the ’bounce factor’ when well beaten at Doncaster last month.
However, Carazam was back on top form by the end of April, coming with a late surge to run out a cosy winner of that was a decent event at the Esher track.
The handicapper has put him up 5lb for that effort but given the easy manner of his victory, that might not be enough to stop him on the Westwood.
Liberty Jack is a well-bred individual and one to watch out for in the Thank You To Chepstow Bookmakers Median Auction Maiden Stakes at the Welsh venue.
Roger Charlton’s colt was well beaten on his only juvenile start but showed much more promise when third on his return in a mile maiden at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago. Beaten a total of two lengths, his rider was patient through the early stages and he stayed on to good effect, although he never looked like troubling the winner.
As a relation of the useful Al Kazeem, this son of Sakhee will really come into his own when stepped up to middle distances but he should still be good enough in this mile heat.
Matraash got a nice confidence-boosting win under his belt on the all-weather earlier this month can can go in again in the Betfred Mobile Lotto Handicap.
That was his first win since 2009 but even with a rise of 9lb, is he still some way below the 84 he won off then.
Fast can live up to her name in the EBF/Bathwick Tyres Maiden Stakes.
Trainer Richard Hannon and owner Julie Wood do enjoy a speedy juvenile and this Kodiac filly looks another to fall into that category.
Dunkelly Castle can make a successful start for Brendan Powell in the 32Red Handicap Chase at Wincanton after wining twice for Barry Brennan last season.
Montoya’s Son had to settle for second last time but can improve on that in Sedgefield’s Paxtons Use Signal Telecom For Communications Handicap Chase.
