James Park Woods is on a long losing run but slips further down the weights. TRIPLE NICKLE may be a five-year-old but is still improving and is versatile as to trip. He has his ground and has been dropped 3lb since his latest fourth at Chepstow with Jordan Williams taking off 7lb again. First-time blinkers worked for Beowulf here two weeks ago but he’s been raised 9lb and there is no guarantee that the headgear will inspire further improvement but The Nu Form Way has been heading in the right direction in maidens and makes his handicap debut.
