21st Apr 2024 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Has won four times at Exeter and yet he has struggled in handicap hurdles there the last twice; has won over fences but tried this discipline only once in the last 12 months and he was well beaten. |

7th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Four-time course winner (twice over C&D) who will be suited by today's ground; on a good mark now but was safely held when fourth here last month and needs to up his game. |

9th Apr 2023 Heavy 3m 3f 208y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced 9yo; runner-up at Ffos Las, Exeter and Taunton on last three starts, with cheekpieces on latest two occasions; stays 3m on heavy going but unraced beyond that and others may see this out better. |
7/1 |

2nd 5 |
20th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
In the frame all three starts this season, most recently when second in stamina test at Exeter (3m, heavy; first-time cheekpieces) in January; given ten weeks to recover from that and should be fine on today's forecast faster ground; one to consider. |

31st Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Had ups and downs since going chasing and no real reason to think he's well treated despite being on the same mark as when beating two rivals at Ffos Las last January (2m5f, heavy); perhaps this shorter trip will suit after an unavailing slog over 3m at Exeter recently. |

10th Jan 2023 Heavy 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Bang there when falling three out in this 12 months ago (on soft) and was runner-up in his next two starts, both here; returns on the back of a similar preparation, though this season's return offered greater encouragement than the one last year; big player; has run well on heavy. |

disputed lead, prominent from 2nd, led before 9th, shaken up before 17th, pushed along when headed before 2 out, ridden and weakened gradually run-in |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual chase winner last season, latterly at Bangor (3m5f, soft); not in same form this term but might have found good ground too lively when last of four finishers at Wetherby (3m7f) this month; might be the answer. |

10th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Tends to race rather lazily but came from off the pace to win this race by 16l last year (soft ground; second-time cheekpieces) and has made late headway on both outings this season (3m6f/3m; no headgear); no surprise if he makes a bold defence of his crown with the cheekpieces now refitted. |

9th Apr 2023 Heavy 3m 3f 208y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Lightly raced 8yo; jumped well and had plenty of use made of him when stepped up to 3m4f at Haydock (soft; acts on heavy) 18 days ago, holding on by half a length with the first two well clear; raised 5lb but a serious player if he's in the same form. |

1st 6 |
22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't really threatened on his two starts this season (3m, soft/heavy) but those were still fair performances and it's possible this lightly raced 8yo will be suited by the step up in trip; not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 |
10th Jan 2023 Heavy 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who only conceded defeat in the closing stages when running well for a long way at Carlisle (3m, soft); does go well fresh so not guaranteed to find loads on that form, but entitled to be in the thick of it. |

4th 3 |
17th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up off 7lb higher in Southern National at Fontwell (3m3f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in November but not firing on all cylinders since; weakened into well-held fourth here (3m2f, good) on latest outing in May; needs to turn a corner; versatile ground-wise. |

4th 5 |
31st May 2023 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Has reached the frame several times since October, including when a fair fourth at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last time; well treated on his best chase form but he's now 1-16 in this sphere and that win was in December 2020; others look stronger. |

2nd Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
His mark continues to fall and his reappearance at Bangor in November was fairly encouraging, but pulled up at Exeter since and back to having something to prove; blinkers return (no positive impact when worn in France). |
16/1 |

10th Jan 2023 Heavy 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Never really got going last season but he's become well handicapped and seemed to need the run when tried in this new headgear combination at Bangor; successful under these conditions in the past and could feature. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 |
26th Nov 2022 Heavy 3m 0f 5y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Will be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination and has become well handicapped but never really got going last season (five runs) and returns from 282-day abreak with fair bit to prove; cheekpieces refitted. |
10/1 |
