15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Up in class and up in trip (by some way) having never gone beyond an extended 3m; however, he's got low mileage as a chaser and won eased down last time at Carlisle (good to soft); handicapper saw fit to raise him 9lb for that but if his stamina reserves can stretch this far then he might not be far away. |

Four-time hurdle winner (heavy/good to soft; including here) who scored at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) a fortnight ago on his third chase start; led close home having been outpaced and today's stiffer test should be right up his street; firmly in calculations up 4lb. |

3rd Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Just 1-9 over hurdles but bounced back quickly from a disappointing December run when close second in competitive handicap here (2m4f, soft) on New Year's Day and will pose a threat if able to transfer that form to fences at the first attempt; first-time tongue-tie. |

12st 0lb |
Displayed improved form when upped in trip and winning easily in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m7f, soft) in April; unexposed over staying trips and not ruled out on his chase debut, but this is a tough first assignment in this sphere and he's not bred for fences. |

Proved a revelation stepping up to about 3m for the first time when barely coming off the bridle to win a Uttoxeter novice event (soft) a fortnight ago; went about 14l clear at the last before being eased, so a 7lb rise in his mark looks lenient; stable won this race in 2021; considered. |

Goes well here as both a C&D winner and also a winner over 2m4f last time out; 3lb rise and the return to shorter will be a test for him but he's shown before that he can string a series of wins together. |

Triple 2m hurdle winner in 2020-21 season; returned from long absence with two heavy defeats at start of this year but last month's Chepstow seventh (2m3f, soft; race won by Dollar Bae) was more encouraging and she might get closer to the target on today's faster ground. |

Hurdle/chase winner for Tom George who returned from a long absence with an encouraging third over hurdles on his stable debut at Haydock (2m3f, soft) in December; could build on that and he's one to consider. |
