Going through a good spell at present and didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 7 days ago, staying on to lead dying strides. Should be competitive again with rider's claim off-setting rise in weights.
|
11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 17 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 33 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Still to prove himself as effective on turf as AW but the switch to quicker ground could well help and he remains low mileage.
|
Gained reward for some good placed efforts when resuming winning ways in minor event at Yarmouth (1m) in August and ended turf campaign with a good fourth over C&D in September. Below par on AW thereafter and she may strip fitter for this first start for 5 months.
|
C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 11/1) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Now below last winning mark.
|
One win from 29 Flat runs. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 3/1) 32 days ago, effort on inner early in straight and keeping on. Each-way claims back on turf.
|
Winner at Southwell in April. 11/4, last of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 23 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. No surprise to see a better showing here.
|
Latest win at Southwell in December. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to soft, 22/1) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.
|
Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. First run since leaving David Brown when last of 10 in minor event (28/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 76 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter.
|
11/1, good third of 9 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago, sticking to task having been headed 2f out. Not out of things if building on that here.
|
Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (7.4f, soft, 18/1) 30 days ago, no extra last ½f. Needs to back that up now.
|
Offered little in novice/maiden company during first half of last year, last of 12 in C&D event on final start 12 months ago. Best watched now handicapping on return.

Forecasts
Hostelry (3/1), Clotherholme (7/2), Mr Heinz (11/2), Available Angel (6/1), El Royale (10/1), Mac Ailey (10/1), Urban Road (11/1), Captain St Lucifer (14/1), Krystal Maze (16/1), Lady Ziana (40/1), Trulie Good (150/1)
HOSTELRY is hardly prolific, yet she comes here having doubled her career tally at Ayr 7 days ago and, with her rider's claim more than off-setting her subsequent rise, it would come as no surprise to see her firmly in the mix once more. Clotherholme has yet to hit top form this term but his mark is easing and a better showing is anticipated from his handy draw. El Royale is also worth a look under Oisin Murphy.
