22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Showed notable handicap form in 2024 but has posted duck eggs in three runs since that campaign and needs to prove he retains ability; best watched on second run for new yard, unless the market suggests otherwise. |
25/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Well treated on his 2024 form for Jack Channon and he won the Spring Mile at Newbury (1m, good to soft) on his reappearance that season; however, just two runs last term, finishing down the field in April/May, and he has plenty to prove making his stable debut after an absence; blinkers go on. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Last three wins over 1m, most recently the 2024 Spring Cup; however, finished a close fourth in major C&D handicap last July and could go well with Haydock reappearance under his belt. |

14th Apr 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 5-11 on turf and his last success was at this track (1m4f, good to firm) last June; good second at Newcastle (1m2f) in final run for George Boughey but he returned for new yard with a tailed-off effort at Kempton (1m3f) last month; has bit to prove after that and he needs to bounce back near best; regular tongue-tie removed. |

14th Apr 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
took keen hold, prominent, led narrowly over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, no chance with winner when no extra inside final 110yds |
8/1 |

13th 9 (2) |
29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Regular winner in three campaigns with George Boughey, for whom he ended last June with a win at Pontefract (1m4f) and good second on Newcastle Tapeta (1m2f); unraced on Polytrack; hood joins his now usual tongue-tie and he'll be competitive for new yard (same owners) if starting this term where he left off last season. |

12th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won two of her first three nurseries (one on soft) and wasn't far away in another at Newmarket (7f) on her penultimate start; stepping up 1m is unlikely to present a problem. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Five wins at 1m, the latest two coming at this track in 2024; didn't run badly on his seasonal return here a fortnight ago (1m, firm); capable off this mark but the start is always a major concern where he is concerned. |
8/1 |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

All five wins have been over 1m, twice here; has been running well over further since his last win but slow starts have become a habit. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Added to her Tapeta win when scoring at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last September but she's lost her way since including with two heavy defeats this season; now back on last winning but she needs a major revival on this return to AW; reapplied blinkers replace a hood. |

16th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last September off 2lb lower mark; well held on return from 205-day break in race won by Taritino at Chepstow (1m4f, good to soft) last month; best watched. |

Verdict
Metal Merchant should be suited by the step up to 1m after looking to find 7f a bare minimum on the AW in June but ON THE PULSE had something in reserve when winning at Leicester and her proven ability to handle soft ground swings things in her favour. Racing Demon can come into his own now handicapping and is next on the list.[Emily Weber]
