Tactical Blitz
TACTICAL BLITZ continued his progress when second to a fellow improver at Southwell in January and he is taken to go one better sent handicapping. Arishka's Dream went close on his first handicap outing at Lingfield last week and isn't taken lightly, while Marra Donna could also be in the mix.

Much improved when winning maiden at Wolverhampton last month and backed that up when only narrowly denied in 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (5/2) 5 days ago. Has tended to race freely but could still have more to offer in handicaps.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat2/9Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat1/5Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat3/9Wolverhampton5f 21yStandardFlat4/10Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat2/13- 4(10)Tactical BlitzJ: Hollie DoyleT: Archie Watson642Age 311/411/43/1

Has been going the right way in his 3 starts so far, beaten only by a next-time out winner in 12-runner maiden at Southwell last time. Could be ready to open his account having been gelded ahead of handicap debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell6f 16yStandardFlat2/12Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat4/6Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat6/7- 9(1)Marra DonnaJ: Mason PaetelT: Ollie Sangster859-33Age 34/14/19/2

Unable to justify market support in 2 handicaps this year, though pulled clear of the rest despite still looking green when third of 5 at Southwell (13/8) 22 days ago. Capable of getting involved with good-value claimer on board.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell6f 16yStandardFlat3/5Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat3/11Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat9/12Chelmsford City6fStandard / SlowFlat5/8Salisbury6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat8/10- 3(7)ElizabettyJ: Ben RobinsonT: Brian Ellison527-713Age 37/16/113/2

Off the mark in 7f novice at this course in January and confimed that improvement sent handicapping when third of 7 over 1m here 27 days ago, despite having raced freely.

Wasn't able to justify favouritism (11/10) but again ran well when second of 9 at Wolverhampton in January, form which has been boosted since. Still looking for a breakthrough victory, though, on first start since leaving Michael Bell.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat2/9Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat2/12Yarmouth7f 3yGood to SoftFlat5/8Chelmsford City6fStandardFlat2/8Windsor5f 21yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat6/9- 2(6)Mighty VegaJ: Kevin StottT: Scott Dixon0165-45Age 316/116/114/1

Modest form when making the frame each of her first 3 starts and ran to a similar level when fifth of 7 in nursery at this course (5f) in November.

Encouragement on final 2 starts in 2025 but hasn't looked straightforward this year, hanging badly right when last of 7 at Wolverhampton (5f) a month ago.
