Progressive 2-y-o who made it 2 wins from as many starts in nursery company at Wolverhampton in December. Found only one too good in hat-trick bid there the following month and could still have more to offer.

Put experience to good use to get off the mark in 9-runner novice over C&D in February. More required now switching to handicap company, however.

Beverley maiden winner last year who was unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton 12 days ago, keeping on when not clear run final 1f. Must enter calculations.

9/4
Impressed with his attitude when opening his account after 4 months off (gelded in interim) in 7-runner handicap over C&D in January. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid now his energy seems to be being channelled more efficiently.

Didn't really progress after making a winning start at Pontefract last April and returns with something to prove for all he's evidently capable fresh.

Off the mark in a weak handicap at Ffos Las (5f) in September. Solid efforts in stronger races thereafter and should be competitive if ready to roll on this return to action.

Seemed to relish the drop back to sprinting when winning on second start at Chelmsford (6f) in August. Handed a stiff opening mark and failed to improve at Lingfield next time, however. Since left Simon & Ed Crisford.

Forecasts

Ambishio (9/4), Comic Strip (5/2), Saucy Jane (9/2), Proof (5/1), Hayynah (13/2), Ice Cold Alex (18/1), Riffa Spirit (40/1)

Verdict

AMBISHIO showed a good attitude to get off the mark over C&D in January and a 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up now that he seems to be channelling his energy more efficiently. Comic Strip made an excellent start to life in handicaps towards the end of 2025 and could still have more to offer, while Saucy Jane shouldn't be taken lightly having been unlucky not to finish closer at Wolverhampton.
