Central Employment & Training Partnership Handicap (Div 2)

Won at Yarmouth on stable debut in 2025 but has struggled since and is also unproven on all-weather.

Creditable fourth of 10 in a handicap over 1m at this course 15 days ago, racing freely. Now drops back to 7f and he holds claims. Engaged 4.30 Southwell Thursday.

Yet to win and dropping down the grades. Possibly needed the run after being gelded over 6f at Southwell last time so may show a bit more back up in trip and dropped into 0-55 company.

Holds claims on her fourth of 10 over 6f here 27 days ago and wasn't seen to best effect over C&D last time. Still needs to conclusively prove herself as good at this trip, though.

Clearly goes well at this stiff track, successful here over 6f last year and producing her best effort yet under a patient ride when second of 12 in a handicap over C&D 14 days ago. Looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to resume winning ways.

Hasn't fired since joining this yard in July and blinkers now return. Tough to be confident about.

Long-standing maiden for Tracy Waggott and, though she boasts a positive jockey booking, a watching brief is advised for new stable (same owner) after 170 days off.

Yet to show any ability.

Well beaten in 3 starts for Jack Channon and, after 5 months off, fared no better with visor applied when eleventh of 12 in handicap here (1¼m) 43 days ago. Switches to cheekpieces and now dropped back in trip. Engaged 4.30 Southwell Thursday.
