66/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) 33 days ago, losing place over 2f out. Mark continues to ease but needs to show more before becoming of interest again.
|
2 wins from 5 runs this year. 11/8, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 54 days ago, pushed out. Remains unexposed as a sprinter and he's worthy of consideration again.
|
Latest win at Lingfield (7f) in March and she arrives here in good order, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good, 11/2) 11 days ago, weakening final 100 yds having made an eye-catching forward move. This less demanding.
|
Ended last year with success at Kempton (6f) in December and solid enough return when fourth on return at Wolverhampton (6f) in May. NOt seen to best effect at first-named venue since and better showing anticipated.
|
Latest win over C&D in April. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Another good showing anticipated back on AW now equipped with first-time cheekpieces.
|
Twenty six runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Drops back in trip now but others arrive with more pressing claims.
|
Latest win at Bath in May. 5/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Consistency is hard to knock but present mark demands that little bit more.
|
Creditable second of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 54 days ago, no room final 1f and unlucky not to win. Should give another good account.
|
Winner at Wolverhampton (6f) in January. Last of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft, 22/1) 34 days ago, weakening from 2f out on the back of 4 months off. My well find a few too good back on AW.

Forecasts
Miss Bella Brand (4/1), The Nail Gunner (4/1), Sir Gregory (4/1), Bomb Squad (5/1), I Am A Dreamer (7/1), Amasova (11/1), Brazen Arrow (12/1), Starter For Ten (12/1), Mehmo (50/1)
BOMB SQUAD has made a bright start for John Mackie, arguably unlucky not to win having had no room late on when runner-up at Wolverhampton in May. Gievn a short break since, he earns the vote to come out on top from the same mark. The Nail Gunner, who has landed 2 of his last 3 starts, and Sir Gregory head up the dangers.
- Bomb Squad5/1
