11st 1lb |
Opened chasing account off much reduced mark at Perth (3m, good) in June and bettered that performance when adding to his tally at Stratford (2m6f, good) four weeks ago; however, could only manage a well-held fifth at Worcester on Tuesday. |

midfield, slow jump 3rd, headway after 12th, not fluent when chased leaders 4 out, soon ridden and no impression, weakened before 2 out (trainer's rep said, regarding the poor form shown, that the gelding ran flat, which was noted) |

3rd Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Well beaten at Newcastle a fortnight ago but he's capable of bouncing back from a poor run and he's run several good races this season, including two wins in a row in the autumn (2m6f/3m7f, good/good to soft) and a solid third at Southwell (3m1f, good) in January; not ruled out. |

Won two in a row in the autumn (2m6f/3m7f, good/good to soft) and this 11yo returned to form when third at Southwell (3m2f, good) last time; this front-runner is capable of another bold bid. |

7th Dec 2022 Good To Firm 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Nothing like the force of old but eventually capitalised upon some help from the handicapper at Worcester (2m7f, good) in October; also ran well when second at Taunton (2m7f, good) last month and was a fast-ground course winner in 2019; a leading contender. |
5/2 |

1st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 3m 2f 162y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
10yo who is not easy to predict but he snapped a long losing run when scoring at Worcester (2m7f, good) in October and was a creditable second behind Born at Midnight at Taunton last time; goes into unknown territory at this trip but he remains well treated on old form and drying ground would be a positive; dangerous. |
11/4 |
2nd 1 |
10th Nov 2022 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Snapped a losing run at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month and he's still well handicapped on old form; however, he had another off-day at Ffos Las 18 days ago and isn't easy to win with. |

4th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Maiden after 16 starts; runner-up here in November 2021 but chasing hasn't gone well lately; first hurdling start since last May; cheekpieces (pulled up only previous attempt in them) back on. |
40/1 |
7 |
21st Nov 2022 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
16-race maiden who returns to hurdling after two falls over fences, the first of them when attempting to refuse; has seconds to his name over hurdles and fences but not crying out to be backed at the minute. |
14/1 |
6 |
8th Nov 2022 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |

Still seeking first career win (0-15); runner-up on chasing debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) in May and was just headed when crashing out at the third-last fence at Worcester (2m7f, good) five weeks ago; has form here over hurdles; shouldn't be discounted. |
