C&D winner who ended a losing run at Linfield (1m) in February and confirmed he remains in form both starts since, holding every chance under a more positive ride than usual when fifth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 3 weeks ago. One to consider back here.
|
Lightly raced in recent times (offered little all 3 starts last year) and fared no better on last month's return at Southwell.
|
Winner at Carlisle (6.9f) in August and encouraging he backed that up when fourth at Thirsk (7f, soft) a month later. Seemingly not 100% on final start and returns from 6 months off for new yard now. Betting can guide.
|
Exploits mixed following success over C&D in July but encouraging one of his better displays came back here when second in October. Hasn't convinced with stamina in trio of hurdle outings in recent months and better can be anticipated returned to this discipline.
|
Veteran who has tumbled down the weights and appeared to find the drop back to 7f against him when fourth at Wolverhampton 16 days ago. This more suitable but losing run does stretch back to 2023.
|
Maiden winner in Ireland last autumn but has failed to make a significant impact in 6 handicaps since coming to Britain. Falling in the weights but need to see more.
|
Quickly found her feet on all-weather for current yard, displaying a good attitude to resume winning ways at Southwell (7f) 11 days ago. Consistency is hard to knock and she's respected back on turf from 2 lb higher mark.
|
Enjoyed profitable 2025, winning 5 times on turf before going over the top towards the end of the season. Entitled to have come on for last month's reappearance run at Newcastle and no surprise to see a better showing.
|
Much improved when finishing second at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December, shaping comfortably like the best horse at the weights to boot. Made effort earlier than ideal when fifth over same C&D later that month and whilst absent since, he's one to bear in mind from this mark back on turf.
|
Losing run continues to mount but turned in another creditable display when fourth over further at Doncaster 11 days ago. Drop back to 1m will hold no fears and ease into class 6 company can only aid his cause.
|
Ran well on turf debut at Yarmouth last October before leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam but not figured either start on all-weather for new stable this year.
|
Maiden who is nicely handicapped on pieces of form from last year but not threatened on all-weather since the turn of the year. Noteworthy if market spoke in his favour back on turf.
|
Lightly-raced maiden who has been at long odds in handicaps and faded out of things when eighth in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 6 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go on for turf debut and others much more appealing.
|
Successful over this trip at Southwell in November. Back on form when a close third at Wolverhampton in February but below par back there since. Blinkers off, visor back on returned to turf.
|
Improver following a yard switch, going in again at Kempton (1m) on penultimate start before a good second at Lingfield (1m) 3 weeks ago. One of the likelier types back on turf.

Rosemary's Rose (9/2), The Sweet Escape (5/1), Gladiadora (11/2), Louie The Legend (15/2), Powerful Response (8/1), Antiquity (8/1), Spirit Catcher (17/2), Revich (12/1), Hostelry (12/1), Amber Honey (18/1), Token Love (20/1), Sir David (20/1), Future Cutlet (33/1), Our Misty Blue (50/1), Rogue Officer (80/1)
Plenty to consider in this low-grade handicap but TOKEN LOVE highlighted there's races to be won with him from this sort of mark on all-weather in December and is selected on the back of a break. Rosemary's Rose, Gladiadora and C&D winner Antiquity are others to consider.
