15th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Two chase wins over about 2m6f last winter but she showed something new when easily accounting for her four rivals over about 3m at Chepstow (soft) on reappearance three weeks ago; 9lb higher today and back down in trip but she did it well last time. |

Two chase wins last winter over shorter; hasn't looked the strongest stayer in three runs over 3m under rules and she'll need to be cherry ripe to take this back from 232 days on the sidelines. |

13th May 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 179y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Failed to win on the Flat for Ed Walker and has had plenty of chances in handicap hurdles for this yard; lacks consistency but he has less to prove than the rest of these back from a short break. |
6/1 |

23rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
15-race maiden but his recent placed efforts at Lingfield (2m3f) and Hereford (2m5f; soft for both) would be his best yet; just a concern that he's been below par in his previous staying handicaps (3m/3m2f). |

Yet to win (0-14) but, despite jumping right on occasions, ran his best race to date when fitted with a visor at Lingfield (2m3f, soft; third with Roger Rarebit in second) recently; should appreciate this extra yardage and, from an unchanged mark, enters calculations. |

Reappeared with a win at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve and 8l second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) since behind a rejuvenated winner; has won on soft/heavy ground; could give another good account. |

26th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Good enough to win a Group 2 on the Flat in France when owned by Godolphin; went 0-12 over hurdles for two previous yards but he's come good for this one with back-to-back Taunton wins (2m3f, good; 3m/good to soft); raised 20lb for those but something has clicked and deeper ground here will be no hardship. |

Made just a fairly encouraging seasonal/stable debut in October but displayed big jolt of improvement to win easily by 13l here (2m3f, good) a fortnight ago; hiked up 13lb for that and has stamina to prove over new trip today but ought to handle the slower ground and commands respect. |

Three-time chase winner (including C&D), but he's been well held over fences and hurdles in last three runs; made a mistake at a crucial stage at Southwell last time but he needs to get right back near his best on this return to fences. |

Three chase wins last season, the latest gained at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) in November; has 6lb lower hurdle mark but remains without a win in this discipline after 17 attempts and tends to need his first run back from a break (absent since December); others make more appeal. |

11th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Lightly raced; took a big step forward for her new yard when keeping-on fourth of eight in steadily run 2m4f Leicester handicap and, although beaten further, she posted the same RPR when favourite at Huntingdon; all her form is on soft or heavy ground but she should be dangerous down into a seller. |

15th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |

Lightly raced ex-Irish maiden who took a big step forward for her new yard when keeping-on fourth of eight in steadily run 2m4f Leicester handicap six weeks ago; she appeals as the sort to do better still granted a stiffer test of stamina so merits serious consideration eased 1lb. |

Ex-Irish; hasn't made much of an impression, albeit with some mitigating circumstances (slightly hampered last time), in two starts for Henry Oliver; others are more obvious but she shouldn't be written off just yet; easing mark. |

Easily his best run when weakening from the third-last flight at Uttoxeter (2m novice, good) three runs ago; departed early when 16-1 for his handicap debut and was then pulled up at Hereford (soft; 66-1); getting back on drier ground may help matters and still early days; cheekpieces added. |

Ayr winner (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces from a 4lb lower mark) in May and pulled up back over fences on his next start in October; returned to hurdles with a keeping-on second at Exeter (2m2f; good to soft; Gyllen third) recently; should have a major say if equally effective on soft. |

Off the mark at the 11th time of asking over hurdles when winning a 2m4f handicap at Ayr (good) in May; pulled up switched backed to fences (jumped poorly on second start in that sphere) in October and no surprise to see him back hurdling; good chance on that Ayr form and Luca Morgan is a positive jockey booking. |

Maiden (0-20) who steadily lost his way for Nicky Martin, unseating his rider on his last couple of appearances for that trainer; soundly beaten in two starts for Claire Harris; very difficult to fancy despite easing in the weights in newly applied headgear. |

Returned from break with 36l defeat in April but last month's Fontwell fourth (3m2f, good) was more encouraging and the cheekpieces (worn for the second of last year's two chase wins) are now back on; won't mind if the ground is quicker than good; can't be ruled out. |

Battled well for narrow win off today's mark at Hereford (3m1f, good; wore cheekpieces) in the autumn but was given break after disappointing effort in December and again ran poorly when reappearing (without cheekpieces) last month; the cheekpieces are missing again here; stablemate Prince Cleni has much stronger claims. |
