Winless after 9 starts in 2025, though placed on 3 occasions. Wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (7f) in December. Has been given some respite by the handicapper.

Lightly-raced maiden. Well-backed 11/4 having been gelded and in first-time cheekpieces, looked hard ride when seventh of 8 in nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December, hanging left throughout. Bit to prove on return.

Won twice from 3 starts in handicaps at Bath, latest in 6-runner event (1m, good to firm, 11/4) 28 days ago. Looks a straightforward type and will remain competitive after a small rise in the weights.

Lightly-raced maiden. Looked rusty when 2 lengths fourth of 6 to Takeitorleaveit on handicap debut (15/2) at Bath (1m, good to firm) 28 days ago. Looks to have work to do from this mark.

Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, ninth of 12 on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m) 41 days ago. That race has worked out quite well but he needs to take a big step forward.

Well held in 3 polytrack runs. Looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and is one to monitor in the betting on turf debut up in trip.

Very green on debut at Salisbury and beat only one rival when tailed off in 2 subsequent outings at 2 yrs for Daniel Steele. Hard to fancy now handicapping for new yard.

Forecasts

Takeitorleaveit (11/4), Mertoun (3/1), Marveling (11/2), Beryl's Girl (9/1), Accommodation (9/1), Shes Got The Blues (11/1), Sunshine And Roses (12/1), My Old Mate (18/1), Fans Favourite (20/1), Hurricane Ann (20/1), Buckland Belle (25/1), Angry Ant (28/1), Henfield (40/1), Dora Vita (66/1)

Verdict

TAKEITORLEAVEIT has won twice since sent handicapping and there may yet be more to come. Shes Got The Blues had been shaping well before her latest outing and can get back on track, while Sunshine And Roses may find it easier back in handicaps.
