Midnite Ain't Your Grandad's Bookie Classified Stakes

4YO plus | Class 6 | 1m 2f 42y | 12 Runners | Allweather

(6)

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 50| CD

Failed to win in 2025 but made the frame twice over 1¼m here to start the current year. Not in same form dropped back to 1m on last 2 runs but this assignment appears more suitable and drop in grade another plus.

Form: 55-3478

(7)

Arranmore^t,p³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 47| CD

Ended a near 4-year losing run in a change of headgear over C&D in August. Disappointed on turf final 2 starts but has seemingly been working his way back to full fitness in 2 all-weather runs since returning from a break.

Form: 5156-44

(8)

Celebrating Ethel^b1²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48| D

Struggled since winning at Brighton in August but she did at least stop the slide when fourth in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 24 days ago. Now her task is to build on that effort with blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 30-8774

(12)

Falaise Blanc^b¹³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Greg Fairley| T: K Scott| OR: 49| CD

Gained breakthrough success over C&D in August and filled runner-up spot on 2 of 3 starts thereafter back on turf. Proved too keen when down the field at Redcar final start but he's no forlorn hope on this return to action.

Form: 731227-

(5)

Heartened^p¹⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 49| CD

Winner over C&D in September and ran to a similar level when third back here next time. Never dangerous when midfield at Southwell a month later but she's another not out of things returning from a break in an open heat.

Form: 743136-

(10)

Millbuie^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 46

Long-standing maiden who, despite not being seen to best effect, ran one of his better races when a length fourth in a classified contest at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 17 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces but not sure to be in same form.

Form: 044-644

(1)

Myna^h¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48| D

Broke his maiden tag in similar event at Lingfield (10f) in January and with his next run easily overlooked, he was quickly back to form when edged out only late on at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 17 days ago. Respected as an in-form sort.

Form: 847-152

(9)

Regal Glory^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn| T: Roger Fell| OR: 47

Just the one win to her name from 32 starts but she wasn't seen to best effect returning from an absence when fourth in similar company at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last month. That backs up previous impression she has a small race in her for this yard.

Form: 03724-4

(2)

Rock Armour^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: D Thompson| OR: 49| CD

C&D winner this time last year but out of sorts this time around, never threatening in a 1m handicap here 16 days ago. Steps back up to a more suitable trip if refitting of blinkers can help.

Form: 00770-7

(4)

Sir Maxi^b⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: S England| OR: 47| C

Shaped as if back in form with in-the-frame efforts over 1m here on last 2 starts. However, didn't convince with his stamina for this trip on sole previous try in January.

Form: 942834

(3)

Trouble In Chicago³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 43

Has looked limited in 4 starts to date.

Form: 8-569

(11)

Wicklow Way¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J Garritty| T: M Walford| OR: 50

Standout effort though probably flattered (modest form) when fifth in minor event at Catterick in spring of last year but never figured thereafter. Down further in class for return.

Form: 556860-

Forecasts

Alpine Sierra (4/1), Falaise Blanc (9/2), Myna (6/1), Regal Glory (13/2), Heartened (8/1), Sir Maxi (10/1), Millbuie (10/1), Wicklow Way (10/1), Arranmore (12/1), Celebrating Ethel (12/1), Rock Armour (25/1), Trouble In Chicago (50/1)

ALPINE SIERRA hasn't figured on his last 2 starts over 1m, yet his previous in-the-frame efforts over C&D give him sound claims with his sights lowered. He could be worth chancing to bounce back, with Regal Glory and Myna others worthy of consideration.
