Two wins over 1m2f for Harry Eustace in 2022 (soft/good to soft); not shown a great deal for present yard (tailed off over 1m at Carlisle last time); blinkers replace cheekpieces; others appeal more. |

23rd Mar 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Tailed off on hurdling debut but different story over C&D this month (in tongue-strap for first time) when beating several of these; 50-1 but no fluke about the win and followed up in Wolverhampton AW contest last Saturday; penalty for the course success but still strongly considered. |

Very consistent at a fair level on the Flat since the autumn, and collected a 1m4f AW handicap in November (RPR 72), but dropped out rather tamely on recent hurdling debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) and needs help from the first-time tongue-tie here. |

Seven-time winner from 1m-1m2f; not on a bad mark on the pick of last season's efforts, but he has been absent for 193 days and and an inexperienced amateur takes the ride (first Flat ride under rules). |

Inconsistent 17-race maiden but she went very close in a first-time visor here (1m2f, good) last Monday and the first three pulled clear in that race; has leading claims if she can repeat that form and she looks worth another try at this trip. |

Over two years since the last of his four wins, all of which have come at Wolverhampton; he is effective here too though and has run some good races in defeat since joining Mick Appleby; should run his race and he is not discounted with a cheekpiece experiment quickly aborted. |
