Sole career success at Redcar in September 2024 before leaving Craig Lidster's yard and enduring a 16-month absence. Tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 13 days ago on stable debut and offered little. First-time visor but only considered if market expects better.

9/2
Has shown improvement since joining current yard from Jack Jones, winning at Wolverhampton 34 days ago before finishing sixth of 11 in handicap there (7/2) 24 days ago when badly hampered 1f out. Arrived at that race in good form and should remain of interest.

7/4
Experienced handicapper who has finished runner-up twice at this course in recent weeks. Second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 16 days ago, never getting to the winner from a poor position but beating the rest comfortably. Looks capable of going one better.

Successive runner-up finishes over the past month. Second of 11 in handicap here (8/1) 13 days ago, settled better than last time and stayed on to take second close home. Can make her presence felt.

Ran well when second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5/2) a week ago, leading over 1f out before headed inside final 100 yds. Showed return to form there and can surely find a race. Yard also saddles Scenario/Boujee Gold.

Long time without a win (20 races) and form has been patchy, step in right direction when fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (9/1) 38 days ago, settled better and ran on under pressure. Back up in trip having been too free previously.

Long-standing maiden who put in a below-par effort when last of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (12/1) 23 days ago, having shaped better when third there previously. Remains to be seen if she's on a going day back up in trip.

Came closest to success last March when 2nd of 9 at Southwell but yet to fire for new yard, tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (125/1) 16 days ago, raced off the pace and beaten early in straight (not unduly punished). Only considered if supported.

Gained sole success at Newcastle in July and ran creditably when third of 8 in handicap there (15/2) last September. Can be competitive back up in trip with tongue strap removed. Yard also saddle War Memorial.

Out of sorts veteran, sixth of 11 in conditions race at Wolverhampton (11/1) 17 days ago where she dwelt as usual and merely passed beaten horses. Worth a market check with cheekpieces back on for first time in a while.

Forecasts

Roaring Ralph (7/4), Amarachi (5/2), Scenario (9/2), Moyowasi (9/2), Volendam (6/1), Law Degree (11/1), Starshot (22/1), Boujee Gold (28/1), Force Of Honour (28/1), Sovereign Class (28/1), Carida (33/1), War Memorial (80/1)

Verdict

ROARING RALPH has been shaping well in recent weeks with a pair of runner-up finishes at this course and he looks capable of going one better. Amarachi is in good form herself with successive placed efforts at this C&D and can make her presence felt again, while it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of the Tony Carroll trio.
