Off the mark here in September and backed that up with solid fourth of 7 to Bill Plumb in handicap over C&D the following month. Could be a player if ready to roll on return.
Successful twice over C&D last season and ran well when close third at Newcastle on final outing of 2025. Not been in same form either start since but return to turf may spark a revival.
Added to last season's C&D victory at Chelmsford City (6f) in December. Not been in same form recently though and others appeal more. Cheekpieces back on.
Shaped really well, back from 3 months off for new yard, when very good second of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 2/1) 26 days ago, conceding first run. 3 lb rise fair and holds leading claims. Cheekpieces back on.
Landed 6f handicap at Newmarket last May but he went the wrong way subsequently, having breathing operation (cheekpieces added) before beating one at Chelmsford final run. May have needed last month's Doncaster return but his overall profile is off-putting.
Still looking for first success but was well supported when creditable second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6f, 9/4) on return 16 days ago and is just 1 lb higher here. Respected.

Forecasts
Fenlander (13/8), Caragio (3/1), My Mate Kev (4/1), Dark Side Thunder (13/2), Ironist (17/2), Bill Plumb (18/1)
CARAGIO has dropped to an attractive mark and made a fine start for his new yard at Chelmsford last month. He makes plenty of appeal. Fenlander may give him most to think about.
