Latest win at York in July. 14/1, creditable fourth of 24 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) when last seen in September. Resumes from a break off a 1 lb lower mark and in a lower-grade race, so he needs considering.
|
Latest win at Southwell in November. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 4 days ago, conceding first run. Has to be taken seriously off the same mark.
|
Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in November. 40/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (5f) 15 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Others make more appeal.
|
C&D winner. 25/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap back here 15 days ago. Not without each-way hope.
|
C&D winner. Tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (5f, 5/1) 26 days ago, slowly away. Generally consistent, so there can be hope that he will bounce back and give a good account off this reduced mark.
|
C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 15 days ago, not clear run (Blackjack close behind in fourth). Not taken lightly.
|
Unreliable type. C&D winner. Last of 24 in handicap (40/1) at Ayr (6f, good to firm). Off 103 days and he's opposable.
|
C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 11/1, last of 12 in handicap at this course (5f) 23 days ago. Needs to bounce back with first-time cheekpieces enlisted.
|
Course winner. 9/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. No more than an each-way squeak.
|
C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 3/1) 22 days ago. Likely to give another good account.
|
C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Good second of 11 in handicap at this course (5f, 3/1) 15 days ago. Should remain competitive.
|
Three-time C&D winner, the latest gained 15 days ago, despite starting slowly away. Nudged up just 2 lb and won't be far away if things again fall right.

Forecasts
Showtime Mahomes (13/8), Too Much (6/1), Dicko The Legend (8/1), Profit Street (17/2), Wee Fat Mac (9/1), Bellagio Man (11/1), Blackjack (11/1), Kats Bob (14/1), Moyola (20/1), Rory (25/1), Novak (33/1), Howzak (40/1)
Several to consider in this competitive handicap, with DICKO THE LEGEND earning the vote. He bounced back from a couple of below par efforts when a solid fourth in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his latest start and, having acquitted himself well on the all-weather last winter, he is interesting back on a synthetic surface. Showtime Mahomes didn't get the rub of the green when third over C&D on Saturday and he is greatly respected, while Too Much and Wee Fat Mac also enter calculations.
- Showtime Mahomes13/8
