Poke The Bear
POKE THE BEAR arrives better than ever following back-to-back wins at Lingfield and can defy a penalty to land the hat-trick. Fistral Beach has dropped below her last winning mark and appears to be building towards something, narrowly denied at this C&D 10 days ago when racing wide compromised her challenge, while Royal Jet arrives in excellent heart and should be in the mix back in a handicap.

Won last 2 handicaps at Lingfield Park where form is far superior to elsewhere, successful as 5/4 favourite in 9-runner event there 8 days ago with smooth late run to lead inside final 100 yds. Makes first start at Wolverhampton and looks capable of defying a penalty to land the hat-trick.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat1/9Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat1/8Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat6/8Lingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat3/10Lingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat1/11- 3(6)Royal JetJ: William CarsonT: Tony Carroll281-311Age 67/23/110/3

Won 3 of last 4 starts, most recently successful in classified race at Lingfield (15/8) 8 days ago in fashion suggesting he'll be very competitive now back in handicap under a penalty.

Won three times last spring and appears to be building towards something having dropped below her last winning mark. Second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 10 days ago, led approaching home turn but headed final 50 yards after racing wide. C&D winner could be ready to strike.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat2/9Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat4/11Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat5/10Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat10/14Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat6/11- 2(11)Court Of SessionJ: Connor PlanasT: Phil McEntee4-25416Age 711/211/26/1

Runner-up at Southwell before ending a lengthy losing run at this C&D (13/8 favourite) 10 days ago, running for second time in 24 hours and winning in good style.

Shed maiden tag at this C&D in late December and ran to a similar level when third of 7 here in handicap (3/1) 10 days ago, chasing leaders but not settling fully. Continues in good heart and effective at this trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat3/7Newcastle6fStandardFlat4/7Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat4/11Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat1/10Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat5/13- 7(2)Diligent HenryJ: Lewis EdmundsT: Jessica Macey1360-40Age 511/111/112/1

Both wins came at this C&D, most recently last October, but ran poorly when tenth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford (10/1) 26 days ago in a change of headgear. Cheekpieces back on, blinkers removed and remains to be seen if that does the trick.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChelmsford City7fStandardFlat10/11Newcastle6fStandardFlat4/10Chelmsford City7fStandardFlat10/12Redcar5f 217yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat6/10Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat3/11- 5(4)No Nay NevermindJ: Mohammed Lyes TabtiT: Iain Jardine5522-75Age 418/118/120/1

Yet to get off the mark but back to form when fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (13/2) 13 days ago, led and took strong hold but headed in final furlong and no extra, arguably did too much too soon. Hard to predict but isn't one to write off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle7f 14yStandardFlat5/9Newcastle1m 5yStandardFlat7/11Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat2/13Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat2/13Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat5/11- 4(3)Whiteley WayJ: Gina ManganT: Gary Brown/3224-6Age 520/125/122/1

Free-going maiden has run respectably including when runner-up at Bath last October but best forgiven sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10/1) 16 days ago, badly hampered over 2f out after 7 weeks off and weakened final 1f. Should give her running but hard to be confident she can break her duck.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat6/8Wolverhampton1m 1f 104yStandardFlat4/12Bath1mHeavyFlat2/9Wolverhampton1m 1f 104yStandardFlat2/9Hereford2m 53yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdlepu/11- 11(5)ShoptilyoudropJ: Aiden BrookesT: Philip Kirby970-687Age 420/120/122/1

Has offered little since returning to current yard and remains winless after 20 starts. Seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (40/1) 17 days ago, lit up in first-time cheekpieces and folded after being headed over 1f out. Hard to fancy from out of handicap with headgear retained.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell7f 14yStandardFlat7/12Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat8/9Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat6/11Newcastle6fStandardFlat11/12Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat7/12- 8(7)Rain CapJ: Callum HutchinsonT: John David Riches228524-Age 922/128/125/1

Showed creditable form in autumn with runner-up finish on turf and backed that up when fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 67 days ago, coming late from off a strong pace to be nearest at the finish.

Out of sorts since sole success in November 2024 and was ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (11/1) 58 days ago, steadied at start and always behind. First-time cheekpieces replace hood and that needs to spark a resurgence.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat9/12Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat10/11Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat6/11Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat9/9Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat8/8
