Recorded his third Tapeta success at Wolverhampton (7f) when scoring by a neck from Black Truffle just ten days ago. Conceding weight to all of his rivals in a tight, trappy contest.
Won over 5f at Southwell in January, and has run well on the Fibresand since. Risky elsewhere, especially over this longer trip.
Remains an AW maiden (0 from 13), but was beaten just under 2L by Lukoutoldmakezebak over C&D on his penultimate start in February.
His last couple of victories have come at the basement level (Class 7 handicaps), but he's fully effective at this track, finishing runner up over the straight mile in two of his last three starts.
Well backed following wind surgery on stable debut at Wolverhampton in February (7f), but slowly away and finished a never nearer 3½L fourth to De Vegas Kid. Contender.
Kept on strongly when winning a 7f Musselburgh fillies handicap for Iain Jardine in August 2016, but was off for 14 months thereafter. Dismal in three starts for this trainer and in free-fall in the weights.
Scarcely beaten a single rival in five starts so far, and few signs that wind surgery has proved beneficial as of yet. Has an official rating of just 30. No chance.
Tends to run her usual consistent race but generally struggles to win, with her sole career success coming over 7f at Southwell in May 2017.
Finished last on all three starts for previous trainer Stuart Coltherd (6f to 1m1f), and absent since June 2017. Couldn't be entertained on stable debut unless the market proves illuminating.
A nine race maiden who has fallen 14lb in the weights since being allocated a handicap mark. Beaten 7½L into sixth place behind Captain Hawk over C&D in October 2017.
Her best effort so far came at Ayr in May 2017, when finishing 4L third to Ching Ching Lor (stablemate Hollywood Harry second). Back from an absence with a fair effort at Wolverhampton last month (1m+), and a drop in trip could suit.
Not exactly a progressive filly (0 from 6), but ran okay at Chelmsford earlier this month (7f) when finishing just over 2L fifth to Geetanjali.
Runner up on debut at Thirsk in August (6f seller), but failed to build upon that effort in a similar grade thereafter. Has left the care of Phil Kirby, and kicks off her AW career for a respected handler.

Lord Murphy (3/1), Pepys (5/1), Cookie Ring (5/1), Jai Hanuman (5/1), Mimic's Memory (6/1), Mr Potter (8/1), Captain Bob (16/1), Play With Me (16/1), Mandarin Princess (16/1), Silverlight (16/1), Lucky Violet (40/1), Bop It (50/1), Palace Ball (66/1), Millybond (100/1)
A maximum field and no shortage of takers but with all due respect to connections, this ranks as a fairly dire spectacle for racegoers. The likes of Lord Murphy, Cookie Ring and Mimic's Memory have all shown themselves to be reliable sorts at this basement level, but aren't the most regular of winners. Jai Hanuman merits close inspection in the market, and he rates as a live contender following wind surgery, but this could be tailor-made for the exasperating MR POTTER. He is a 7f specialist who needs delivered with as late a challenge as possible (the final 100 yards is plenty early enough), but this isn't a strong race and he might just prove the solution.
- Mr Potter
- Jai Hanuman
- Mimic's Memory
