Sky Bet Proud To Support Young Lives Vs Cancer Handicap

Generally had a good winter on the all-weather, winning a handicap at Newcastle (6f) in February. Found run of good form coming to a halt in similar event there last time. Type to bounce back but hasn't won on turf since his juvenile days.

Consistency has been his strong suit this year, winning handicaps over 6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell in February. Respectable fifth of 11 in similar event at Newcastle (7.1f, 7/2) 16 days ago. Has gone close several times on turf before and is expected to be bang there.

Made the frame on each of his first 6 starts. Had cheekpieces on for 1st time when 7½ lengths eighth of 11 to Benacre in handicap (17/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) in February. Quirky sort who may bounce back now the headgear is discarded.

Finally off mark in 12-runner handicap at Southwell returned to 7f last month, well on top finish. Up just 2 Ib and looks sure to be of interest again in follow-up bid.

Fairly useful maiden who produced best effort when fifth of 14 in handicap at Yarmouth (1¼m, good) on final start in 2025. Has been sold from Harry Charlton 24,000 gns since last seen and takes a significant drop back in trip.

Caused a small surprise to win handicap over 7f at Newcastle in January. Had excuses next time but was quickly back to form when in frame at Wolverhampton when last seen in February. Just 1 Ib higher than when last scoring but isn't the most consistent.

C&D winner. Produced some good efforts at Ayr earlier in 2025 but didn't finish the season in the same form. Is on long losing run but has dropped to a handy mark as a result and has gone well fresh before.

Sole success came in handicap at Catterick (7f) in July. Below form next 3 starts and is best watched on return.

Lightly-raced maiden who shaped better than the bare result after 5 months off/breathing operaion at Thirsk (6f) on Friday. Entitled to strip fitter for that and, not long with this stable, is one to keep an eye on.

Failed to repeat his Southwell third in February in two subsequent outings. Has the tongue strap discarded here. Is very well handicapped at present and any positive market vibes should be noted.
