Towcester Bags Race 1 - Towcester Thursday 23Rd April 2026 Afternoon PGR Meeting

FRATTON BARK (3) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 270m behind Salacres Seren (16.42) in a D2. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Has ability and can bounce back. ESSJAY OAKLEY (1) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this trap to place last time at this track (16.46), making it three straight minors. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. AMYS GEM (6) shapes well for this on her speedy win a few runs back, getting around Harlow over 238m in 15.34 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Must include on winning run three back. EDGEOFSEVENTEEN (2) racing over this distance brings the best out in her.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in a D2 by 0.5 len at this track over 270m (16.14). Likely to find this too tough.
