Mohsen can break maiden

● Give Tregoning sprinter another chance at Chepstow

Mohsen is an intriguing contender as he switches spheres in the 188bet.co.uk Handicap at Chepstow.

Out of luck in four maiden starts so far, Marcus Tregoning has opted for the handicap route as this half-brother to Temple Meads seeks that allimportant first success.

He is certainly bred to be a decent sprinter and hit the bar on his penultimate start when beaten a length into second at Doncaster. However, his most recent run caught the eye although he was given far too much to do in a Kempton maiden won by Razzmatazz.

That one has subsequently placed at Listed level, so it was clearly not a bad run, especially as he was always going to struggle to make an impact after sitting at the back through the early stages.

Hopefully more positive tactics will be employed and off a mark of 73, the handicapper might just have underestimated his abilities.

Intellect was a huge letdown for his supporters last time out but should be given chance to redeem himself in the Dan Hague, Yarmouth’s Number 1 Bookmaker Handicap at the seaside venue.

It will take a leap of faith to stick with Intellect, but he is perhaps better judged on his nine-length stroll at Newbury in July, when he made all and found plenty at the finish.
