Back on track since being fitted with blinkers and improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap (3/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Back up in grade here but merits consideration again from 7 lb higher mark.
|
Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Found run of good form coming to halt when sixth of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago. Blinkers and tongue strap both on 1st time. Others make more appeal.
|
Backed up his previous effort to pick up a first win at this trip in 12-runner handicap at C&D last month (Rainwater and Asian Journey in placings). Possibly found longer trip against him when sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 15/2) 5 days ago. Player dropped back to 7f.
|
Won at Nottingham last spring for Christine Dunnett but form tailed off badly. Now starting for new yard after 145-day absence from career-low mark.
|
Back to winning ways in 14-runner handicap at this C&D (9/2) 55 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Found plenty going his way there but his record on tapeta is solid and he should remain competitive from 3 lb higher mark.
|
C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 5/1, respectable second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 13 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not the most straightforward (headstrong sort/regular slow starter) but could hit the frame.
|
Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable 1½ lengths third of 12 to No Knee Never in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 16 days ago, despite carrying head bit awkwardly. Can give good account without posing serious threat to principals.
|
Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/1), ridden too aggressively. Off 103 days. First run for yard after leaving Charles Hills (sold 17,000 gns). Any market support would be very interesting on first start for new connections.
|
Winner at Newcastle in October but has seemingly gone off the boil. Hood back on.
|
Placed 4 times this winter, including when never-nearer 1¼ lengths second of 12 to No Knee Never in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. Respected with cheekpieces back on
|
Only one win from 25 Flat runs but shaped well when third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, coming from further back than other principals. Has to be taken seriously.
|
Runner-up on first 2 handicap starts but has proved increasingly headstrong since, settling no better despite application of hood when last of 10 at Newcastle in October. Absent since and others much more persuasive.

Forecasts
Cill Mocheallog (10/3), Reginald Charles (9/2), Valsharah (9/2), No Knee Never (11/2), Rainwater (6/1), King David (12/1), Simply Blue (14/1), Fools Rush In (16/1), Asian Journey (18/1), Reenie's Dream (33/1), Mini Mac (33/1), Samra Star (40/1)
CILL MOCHEALLOG had been working his way back to form since being fitted with blinkers and gained a belated first success for this yard last time. He edges the verdict in a competitive race, with the James Owen pair No Knee Never - who had several of his rivals in behind when scoring at C&D last month - and Simply Blue also high on the shortlist.
- Cill Mocheallog10/3
- No Knee Never11/2
- Simply Blue14/1
