21st Dec 2022 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ended last season with two creditable efforts in marathon chases and he returned from another break with a respectable fourth at Exeter (3m6f, good to soft) 19 days ago; takes a big drop back in trip but his last win came over 2m7f here in February and he could be dangerous. |

2nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Ended last season with two creditable efforts in marathon chases but he's not been at his best over hurdles and fences in his two runs this term; mark is sliding but he's still 3lb higher than for his chase win and has an overall record of 3-36; others preferred. |

10st 13lb |
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. |

27th Jun 2023 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly back in good form at Warwick (3m2f, good) last month, where he battled on well to press Nickelsonthedime in the closing stages, but was last of five when favourite at Fontwell 11 days ago and it's hard to know what to expect from him here. |

31st May 2023 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Thorough stayer who was placed in two chases and a hurdle towards end of last season; probably on a good mark over hurdles but needs to bounce back quickly from lacklustre run over fences a fortnight ago; fully effective on good ground; unproven on good to firm. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Returned from break with wide-margin win last spring but generally very disappointing since; last month's Taunton fourth (3m2f, good) was a step back in the right direction but he was well held in the end; others have more appealing profiles. |

21st Dec 2022 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Emphatic winner off a 3m2f handicap at Newton Abbot (good) in May but he's not come close to that form since and has been tailed off and pulled up at Exeter (3m) in last two starts; now 4lb lower than for last win but he has a lot to prove. |

12st 0lb |
Ran out a clearcut winner at Doncaster (3m, good) but he reminded us of his inconsistency when failing to give his running at Wincanton; goes without Ned Fox's claim here and he'll need to be right on it. |

27th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |

Not that predictable but capable on his day as he showed when a clearcut winner at Doncaster (3m, good); clear claims off 5lb higher with Ned Fox again on board, but wouldn't want the ground any easier than good to soft. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Regularly ridden by Lucy Turner, as when winning twice over 3m at Ludlow (good to soft/soft) last February and again at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in October; good runs have followed and another one is highly likely. |

Won twice over 3m at Ludlow in February and looked back in very good nick when scoring readily by 4l at Uttoxeter (3m, good) this month; recent 6lb rise does not look excessive; respected. |

Runner-up at Taunton in April and claims on that but 0-13 as a chaser and only win came in a point more than three years ago; debut for Max Young, having been trained by the owner for last eight starts. |

8th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Nothing like the force of old and very inconsistent in recent years to boot; ran well for a long way when second at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) last month but it's hard to tell whether he'll warm to the task here. |

11st 2lb |
Quite lightly raced for his age and returned to form to make winning stable debut at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) in March; could have more to offer for new trainer but was pulled up at Wetherby last month and it's hard to know what to expect here. |

10yo who attracted market support on his stable debut at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) ten days ago and won by about 4l; he could have more to offer for this yard and is respected under a 7lb penalty. |

Placed last year in a hunter chase and points; 33-1 when pulled up in a 3m2f handicap chase at Taunton in December on his only run for Bill Turner; kicks off for another yard with much to prove. |
