A fairly useful 6f scorer for Tom Clover in 2025. Hasn't yet built on reappearance promise but raced closer to the pace than ideal when fifth of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (6f) 17 days ago. The sort his yard do well with and booking of Billy Loughnane catches the eye.
|
landed each of his 2 starts in maiden/novice company and best efforts in handicaps when twice a runner up on July course last summer. Ended the campaign below form on all-weather but record fresh in a definite plus if ready to roll starting out for new yard after 7 months off.
|
Dual 6f winner for Roger Varian who stepped up on his reappearance run and would have finished closer with a clearer passage when fifth at Chester (6f) last week. Finds himself operating 2 lb below last winning mark and won't be long in adding to his tally on that evidence.
|
Dug deep to end a long losing run over C&D in November. Shaped as if needing first start for 5 months when last of 7 at Leicester (6f) 3 weeks ago and feasible to expect a better showing with that behind him and blinkers replacing cheekpieces.
|
Capitalised on a reduced mark at Kempton (6f) in April and continued the good work minus usual headgear when second at Windsor (6f) 12 days ago, pulling well clear of the remainder. Remains on a workable mark.
|
Runner-up on 4 consecutive occasions in handicaps around 7f this winter prior to recording a deserved success in a 12-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 38 days ago. Does have form at sprint trips and he should give another good account from a 3 lb higher mark.
|
Returned from 16 months off an improved model, confirming promise of her Wolverhampton second on back of a quick turnaround when scoring at Southwell (6f) 17 days ago, leading over 1f out and just holding on. Further progress not ruled out making turf debut.
|
Tried at 1m twice in the autumn and caused a surprise when much improved winner of 6-runner Yarmouth maiden (6f) 18 days ago, leading last ½f and asserting close home. Unexposed as a sprinter but likely she'll need to improve again on handicap debut.
|
In excellent form for Charlie Clover during winter and produced easily his best effort for present connections when third at Southwell (7f) 16 days ago. All 3 career victories have come over this trip but he remains 3 lb above last winning mark switched back to turf.
|
Struggling for form earlier this year but landed this race under today's pilot from a 2 lb higher mark 12 months ago. Given a break ahead of this but stable look to hold stronger claims with Expert Agent.

No shortage of chances but MIRACULOUS stepped up on his comeback run and would have been closer still with a clear passage when fifth over this trip at Chester last week. Now operating 2 lb below his last winning mark, he rates a serious player and earns preference over Sixtygeesbaby who surely won't be long in coming good for David O'Meara. Expert Agent and Rajaking, at likely longer odds, are others to consider.
