14th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Second to Vitesse Du Son at Wolverhampton in December, outrunning his 80-1 odds; far from consistent otherwise of late; others preferred. |

3rd Feb 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
It has been a while since his last win but he was second at Wolverhampton in December over the extended 1m; has the speed to cope with this return to sprinting but others look stronger. |

17th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark at the 12th attempt in a similar event at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) at the start of the month and put up an even better effort when beaten less than a length into second of 11 in a 0-55 handicap here (7f) eight days ago; strong claims. |
7/4 |

2nd 8 (14) |
9th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent since joining this yard, getting up in the final strides in 6f Kempton classified race eight days ago; not obviously well treated under a 5lb penalty (revised mark 2lb lower) but it's possible she'll kick on now she's got her head in front; return to 7f should suit, too. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
1st Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
First Polytrack run and has a tricky draw but she's been running well in 6f Tapeta races for new yard and can surely win one of these before long; due to run in first-time cheekpieces in 8.00 Southwell last night. |

In good form last winter but she has been struggling this time round; too much to prove for comfort. |

6th 5 (12) |
5th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
One of last winter's two wins was achieved over C&D; rather going through the motions over 5f this winter and the return to 6f is not enough to tempt. |

20th Feb 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Poor maiden who came in only tenth to Blackcurrent in classified event over C&D six days ago; needs to take big step forward in refitted blinkers. |

2nd May 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Lightly raced front-runner who gave it a good shot when a close third over 6f at Lingfield in March; weakened at Kempton eight days later and might be worth a go at 5f. |

23rd Feb 2023 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who produced two fair runs over 5f (including on Tapeta) last month and failed to stay 7f last time; however, she needs a career best in first-time blinkers if she's to win this. |

Maiden; best AW form, including a placed effort, came over this C&D in late 2022; poor results elsewhere this year but could revive back here in first-time headgear. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Last run was too bad to be true and had made a positive start for this yard, and he's closely matched with Dr Ali; possibilities. |
10/1 |
|
12th 15 (17) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
On a long losing sequence but he has started life well for John Mackie on last two outings, fourth of 12 in 5f Catterick handicap ten days ago; very much one to consider off the same mark with cheekpieces refitted. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Finished second in this race in 2023 (soft) and 2024 (heavy); good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut (6f) two weeks ago; well drawn back on turf but his 18 turf runs have seen him steer clear of anything faster than good to soft. |

Betting Forcast
16/1 But You Said, 7/1 Creek Harbour, 7/1 Elisheva, 10/1 Iesha, 33/1 Nooo More, 2/1 Oxygen Thief, 7/1 Secret Stripper, 10/1 Six O Hearts, 4/1 Tommytwohoots
Non-runners
Secret Stripper, Vienna Poppy
Verdict
Chelsea Banham won a division of this last year and her Oxygen Thief is the obvious starting point in a weak affair (half the field are rated 44 or lower) after a much-improved effort back from seven months off recently. Preference, though, is for TOMMYTWOHOOTS, who goes well here, offered more last time and sports first-time headgear. Elisheva is worth a look in the market having joined David O’Meara.[Graham Wheldon]
