Wheels Of Fire
A competitive sprint handicap. WHEELS OF FIRE wasn't seen to best effect on his final 3 outings last season and remains feasibly treated on the pick of his form, so he looks interesting returning to all-weather given he's unexposed on the surface. Power Fizz strikes as the sort who could have more to offer in 2026 and is second choice, with Hockney and Wicket Keeper completing the shortlist.

Landed the odds in a C&D maiden following a breathing operation in January 2025 and progressed thereafter, scoring at Newmarket and Ascot either side of a near-miss at Goodwood. Not quite in same form at Goodwood on final outing but further improvement certainly possible this year.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/14Ascot7fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/10Goodwood7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/6Newmarket (rowley)7fGoodFlat1/9Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat1/8- 6(2)Sergeant WilkoJ: Kevin StottT: Kevin Ryan5060-46Age 57/17/115/2

Ended 2025 on a low-key note but made a sound return from 4 months off (had breathing operation) when fourth of 14 in C&D handicap in January.

Much improved switched to handicap company (following a breathing operation) last autumn, making it 2 wins from as many starts in such company at Thirsk (6f) in September. Reappears from a 9 lb higher mark in a stronger race but remains open to improvement.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosThirsk6fSoftFlat1/12Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat1/9Doncaster6f 2yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/8Doncaster7f 6yGoodFlat7/16Newmarket (rowley)7fGoodFlat10/11- 13(10)Wheels Of FireJ: Sean LeveyT: Richard Hannon481776-Age 48/18/19/1

Resumed winning ways in a 6f Windsor handicap in September. Not seen to best effect on all 3 outings subsequently, including when caught wide at Goodwood on final outing in October, and there are certainly races to be won with him from this sort of mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood6fGoodFlat6/8Salisbury6fGoodFlat7/12Newmarket (rowley)6fGoodFlat7/10Windsor6f 12yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/12Newmarket (july)6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat8/14- 11(8)Twilight CallsJ: Jack CallanT: Richard Spencer00-0658Age 89/19/18/1

Generally consistent sort who got going too late in a race that proved difficult to get into from behind at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on most recent outing.

Put it all together when landing 14-runner handicap in Racing League series at Chepstow (6f) in August. Found his form tailing off later in the year but ran respectably back from a break when fifth in 12-runner handicap (6.1f) at Southwell last month and is entitled to be sharper for the run.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell6f 16yStandardFlat5/12Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat12/12Doncaster6f 2ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat14/14Ayr6fSoftFlat16/25Chepstow6f 16yGoodFlat1/14- 8(11)Venture CapitalJ: Shane GrayT: Kevin Ryan3033-87Age 512/116/114/1

Enjoyed a good 2025, notching a second win of the year in a Racing League handicap at Yarmouth in July. Placed in similar company on his next 2 outings prior to finishing first among the unfavoured high stalls in a hotly-contested handicap at Ascot on final outing. Has gone well fresh before.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot7fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat8/20Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat3/14Chepstow7f 16yGood to SoftFlat2/9Yarmouth7f 3ySoftFlat1/12Epsom Downs6f 3yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/5- 2(6)Wicket KeeperJ: Cam HardieT: Antony Brittain/11042-Age 428/128/125/1

On the up when landing 6f maiden/novice contests at the start of last summer. Disappointing next 2 outings but back on track when second in 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton on all-weather debut in October.
