Towcester Bags Race 1

Towcester Thursday 5Th February 2026 Afternoon Pgr Meeting

Prize Money: $793

FLICKERING KING (6) was a narrow winner last time, jumping from this same trap to score by a neck in an A8 over 500m at this track. Can continue the winning form. VALKYRIE WARRIOR (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (30.63) last time in an A7 at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. UNKNOWN JIVE (2) failed to come into contention last start after settling well back at this track, but prior to that won easily by 5.5 lengths at Swindon (29.35) beating Ardera Jake in an A8 on December 23. Can measure up this time. MARSHALLS MARVIN (1) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length fourth (30.63) over 500m at this track. Around the mark two starts back.

Big odds but gave a huge sight after burning early, finishing a 6 length second (30.76) over 500m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a nose into second over 270m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Good performance after taking an early lead to score in an A8 by neck at this track over 500m (30.61). The one to beat again.
