With cheekpieces reapplied dropped to this trip, confirmed promise of seasonal/stable debut when winning 6-runner handicap at Yarmouth in good style 10 days ago. 3lb well-in under a penalty so he holds leading claims.
|
Making only third start for current yard, doubled his tally at Pontefract (6f) last summer and made the frame all 3 subsequent outings, second of 14 at Haydock (5f) in September. Has 7-month absence to overcome, though.
|
Bounced back to winning ways over 5f here in February and was unlucky not to follow up at Wolverhampton having met trouble. Below form the last twice, though was poorly drawn at Musselburgh 19 days ago.
|
Off the mark with a comfortable success in 7f handicap at Catterick last summer. Has struggled for form since, though, returning from 7 months off when well held at Musselburgh 19 days ago.
|
Won 3 times in 2025, including twice over this C&D. With Ethan Tindall on board, produced a career best when resuming winning ways at Southwell 8 days ago and he's respected under a penalty back here.
|
Yet to score since starting off for current yard last summer but has shaped as if working his back to form this year, unable to sustain his move into contention when fifth of 18 at Thirsk 13 days ago. Interesting from his reduced mark.
|
Not straightforward but refitted with blinkers he recorded back-to-back C&D wins in October. However, he wasn't on a going day when down the field at Southwell when last seen in November.
|
Fitted with blinkers, gained a first success for present stable at Hamilton in September. Ended the campaign with a poor run at Nottingham, though, and has been absent 6 months since. Tongue strap added.
|
Dual C&D winner but failed to come on for his recent reappearance when ninth of 18 at Thirsk 13 days ago. His mark has eased further as a result, though, and the blinkers worn for all 5 career victories now go back on.
|
Showed ability when third in 6f maiden at Ayr on debut in 2024. However, well held upped in trip on both subsequent outings and absent 16 months (has been gelded) ahead of first run since leaving Adrian Keatley. Makes handicap bow.
|
Runner-up in a 5f Dundalk handicap in January on final outing in Ireland. Has had excuses both starts for current yard, slowly away before racing on the far flank when eighth of 12 at Southwell last time. This run should reveal more.
|
5-time C&D winner, with latest success in September. Has been kept busy since mainly campaigned at this track and, having dropped below his last winning mark, ran respectably when third of 11 here 11 days ago. Back up in grade.

Forecasts
Caragio (6/4), Raft Up (11/4), Kings Merchant (11/2), Lion's House (13/2), Speeding Bullet (12/1), Lord Abama (16/1), Asadjumeirah (25/1), Annie Edson Taylor (33/1), Bellagio Man (33/1), Invincible Ruby (33/1), Goal Line (40/1), Woolridge (50/1)
Having shaped very well on stable debut, CARAGIO built on that effort with a decisive success at Yarmouth 10 days ago and he is taken to follow up with more still to offer as a sprinter. Raft Up also carries a penalty for his recent Southwell victory and is feared most, ahead of Kings Merchant.
