Added to her good record over 7f at Redcar when comfortably seeing off ten rivals on good to firm 12 days ago; a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if turning up in a similar mood.

Comment

Comfortable winner over 7f at Redcar latest and should go well again

Spotlight

C&D winner on good to soft last year and another solid C&D effort when third of 16 on good to firm six weeks ago; successful off 1lb higher on AW last year; likely to be in the thick of things.

Comment

C&D winner last year and latest C&D third of 16 suggests he may be ready to strike again

0-8 on turf but her last three runs (all 7f on good/good to firm) show that she can be competitive from her mark.

"She ran well at Doncaster last time out when fourth and is probably fairly well handicapped off her mark of 64. It's taken a while for us to get her right, but I think we've got her back to where we want to now. She's declared for Redcar this Thursday so that's where you'll probably see her next, and hopefully she'll be winning before long. 06-05-26"

His last win was 13 months ago but he's not been beaten far in his three outings over 1m since joining James Owen and it's likely he'll click for this prolific yard at some point; keen goer so the drop back to 7f could be a good move; not discounted.

Comment

Not beaten far in his three runs for the James Owen yard and the type to click before long

Spotlight

His 13 wins include one over C&D; on a good mark and his last couple of efforts suggest he may be ready to take advantage, meeting all sorts of trouble in the straight but still beaten only 2l into fourth at Wolverhampton on Monday; gets the vote.

Comment

On good mark and has caught eye recently, particularly on AW earlier in week; gets vote

Lightly raced 4yo who left behind a disappointing reappearance effort over 6f at Leicester when third of ten over C&D (good to firm) five weeks ago; a low-mileage profile provides hope that she can take another step forward today; shortlisted.

Comment

Lightly raced and latest C&D third was promising; enters calculations

Dual winner over 7f at Wolverhampton this year and did enough to think she's as effective on turf when fourth of eight over 7f at Catterick 16 days ago.

Comment

Dual AW winner this year and latest Catterick fourth shows she acts on turf

Spotlight

Below best at the end of last season and also well held on 7f Catterick reappearance, taking her record to 0-13; a subsequent wind operation needs to have had a positive effect.

Comment

Well held on return, taking record to 0-13; a recent wind op needs to make a difference

7f winner at Southwell for Marco Botti last summer off 5lb higher; patchy for this yard since, although 9.5f at Wolverhampton seemed to stretch his stamina last time and this test is more suitable.

Comment

Patchy form for this yard but failed to stay 9.5f latest and is 5lb below his win mark

Medical History

Edged out a next-time-out scorer (pair 4l clear) when coming from well off the pace to get up late over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; he's been an infrequent winner over the years but he retains handicapping scope after a 5lb rise.

Comment

Only 4-41 overall but form of last month's C&D win boosted by second going in since

Spotlight

Capable of fair form but he hasn't been seen out since runner-up over fences at Catterick 17 months ago; a watching brief has to be the call.

Comment

Not seen since finishing second over fences in December 2024; best watched

Stable Tour

"He's won on the Flat and over hurdles and has got two jobs on. We'll look for better ground over hurdles and go to Cartmel at the end of May and then he'll go back on the Flat over the summer. He'll jump a fence as well and will probably end up novice chasing next season. 03-04-24"

Ex-Gosden maiden who has yet to seriously threaten for Ruth Carr but his mark is dropping and it wouldn't be a surprise were he to pop up soon.

Comment

Yet to threaten for Ruth Carr but dangerous to discount from his reduced mark

Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but has suffered heavy defeats back on turf the last twice; first-time cheekpieces need to make a difference.

Comment

4lb below mark he defied on AW last autumn but well held on turf last 2 runs; headgear on
