1st Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made excellent progress over fences last summer/autumn, winning three times (2m4f-3m1f), and ran well for a long way when seventh in good-quality chase at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; interesting to see how she fares off her lower hurdle mark here; best on good ground but has some form on soft. |

Fairly useful mare who had a good spell from last August to November, winning three times; form has dipped sharply in two runs this year, both at Cheltenham; first-time cheekpieces need to prompt a revival. |

Won't fail through lack of stamina but was pulled up on final two starts for Gordon Elliott during the winter and has not yet built upon his fairly respectable stable debut in March; tailed off when fourth of five here on Saturday (3m1f, good to soft); needs a sudden revival. |

11st 4lb |
Lightly raced over hurdles (1-6) and was a disappointing favourite on her final run in this discipline off a similar mark in March; 2m4f is on the tight side for one who stays so well over fences (ran in the Irish National last time). |

Justified warm favouritism with pushed-out success in mares' beginners' chase this summer and followed up in Kilbeggan handicap (3m1f, good) a few weeks later; won't mind if there's some lingering juice in the ground here and has plenty of scope for further progress over fences. |

Respectable minor honours in three of his first four starts this season but well beaten next time and jumping proved his undoing on latest; now switches back from chasing to his first hurdle run since last April; 7lb lower than his chase mark and also wears headgear for the first time. |

Made a winning chase debut here (3m, good) last November but that was in a three-runner race but he's been generally very disappointing since; mark is tumbling but was tailed off at Cheltenham on his recent return and has plenty to prove on this step back up in trip. |

Front-runner; 4-12 over fences, the latest win gained off 2lb higher over C&D (good to soft) in February 2023; shaped as if retaining all his ability at Doncaster on reappearance, and less positive tactics seemed to backfire over a longer trip at Musselburgh next time; should have optimum conditions here and he's high on the list. |

Twice ran well in chases on the New course here last season, latterly when second of five in April (3m1f, good); looked laboured and was struggling from fairly early stage in a novice hurdle last month but current mark is workable if he's back on song in new headgear (usually wears cheekpieces). |
