Frantic
FRANTIC was left poorly placed when runner-up to a subsequent winner on handicap bow at Leicester 3 weeks ago so is taken to go one place better. Taygar probably would have won had she kept straight over C&D 11 days ago so is the obvious threat with the veteran Sugar Baby best of the others.

Runner-up 3 of 4 starts, including when well backed for handicap debut at Leicester 3 weeks ago. Left poorly placed that day so good chance she can go one better.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeicester6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/8Nottingham6f 18yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/10Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat4/9Leicester6fSoftFlat2/7- 7(8)TaygarJ: S.

Scored at Ayr (6f) last summer off 4 lb higher and back on track of late, runner-up for the third consecutive start when just denied over C&D 11 days ago, likely to have won had she kept straight.

Won Leicester nursery last autumn. Better for comeback run when close third here 11 days ago and return to 6f here in her favour.

Has made a bright start for this yard, showing improved form when justifying market confidence in good style at Yarmouth. Not in quite the same form under a penalty at Kempton and shaped as if amiss at Ripon next time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRipon6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat9/9Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat3/6Yarmouth6f 3yGood to FirmFlat1/7Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat5/12Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat2/7- 8(7)Kings MerchantJ: William PyleT: Philip Kirby-745647Age 514/114/116/1

C&D winner but on a lengthy losing run and latest effort at Carlisle was disappointing.

Placed in 2 novices last year and made a respectable return when fourth on handicap bow at Southwell. Needs to take a big step forward to defy current mark, however.

A 4-time winner in 2025. Better for comeback when seventh at Redcar, left with plenty to do. Can build on that again and has dipped below last winning mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRedcar5f 217yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat7/11Thirsk6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat8/9Newcastle6fStandardFlat7/11Newcastle6fStandardFlat2/13Redcar5f 217yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/8- 10(5)Record DayJ: Ben RobinsonT: Brian Ellison8489Age 322/122/120/1

A useful juvenile for Archie Watson (missed 2025). Had shown little for current yard before a slightly better showing in first-time blinkers at Catterick.

Runner-up twice at Newcastle late last year and can have his Wolverhampton effort excused in February (far too free).
