14th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Fair hurdler/chaser who was 2-5 over fences last season; not at best at Ayr last month but will be suited by today's trip/ground and has pretty good chance at the weights on this hurdling return; cheekpieces added. |

11st 2lb |
Two small-field wins at Leicester (2m, good to firm/good) from his first three chase starts and again ran well when second of four at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) 12 days ago; needs another step forward here but that's possible, especially if good ground prevails; tongue-tie goes on. |

11st 10lb |
Going great guns in 2m handicap chases, winning two of first three starts (on good to firm/good); failed to find much in one 2m4f handicap but, as an Irish point winner, he should stay this far over fences; ran well when runner-up at Market Rasen yesterday. |

Ordinary mare who trailed home last of five finishers in similar event at Taunton (hunter chase debut) most recently; again faces a stiff task on the figures. |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has won two handicap chases but off very modest marks and difficult to envisage her winning this, despite a respectable latest effort between the flags. |

10st 9lb |
Both wins (one here) have been recorded at 2m2f-2m3f, but today's sort of trip may now be closer to optimum judged on this summer's evidence; back below her last winning mark and not ruled out; visor added. |

10st 2lb |
0-9 over fences and 0-19 overall; ran well from the front when second here (2m2f, good) in December, but is effectively 5lb higher from further out of the weights today and returns here after a 63l defeat last month. |

took keen hold, prominent on outer, disputed lead 4th, led clearly after 7th, jumped right 4 out, ridden and headed before 3 out |

10st 3lb |
Looks a modest maiden but has proved generally consistent over fences, most recently second at Taunton in the race that Folly Gate would have probably won but for unseating; could go well again. |

21st Apr 2023 Good 2m 1f 109y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Having only his second run over fences when a clearcut winner over C&D last October; shown nothing since then but he's not on a bad mark if wind surgery has done the trick. |

22nd Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Built on some promise from his chasing debut to break his duck at the second attempt, at Exeter (2m1f, good to firm) last October, when 5lb lower; well below par in two starts at Ludlow (both 2m, sound surface) since; returns after having had wind surgery for a second time. |
8/1 |

7th Dec 2022 Good To Firm 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Mixed bag in three chasing efforts; lacked fluency on debut but showed the benefit of that when winning in good style at Exeter in October; hot favourite at Ludlow since but jumping let him down again; strong claims on the winning display and perhaps the return to a stiff track can help. |
