23rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Improved form since having wind surgery and switched to handicaps, winning at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) then clear second over this C&D (soft); looks the type to progress further; respected up just 2lb. |

22nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who sprinted clear of the others with the warm favourite when winning on seasonal/handicap debut at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) in October; 6lb higher here but could have a lot more to offer. |

French Flat winner who, having had wind surgery, came clear with a progressive runner-up when winning on last month's handicap and seasonal debut at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft); in top hands and this lightly raced 4yo could still be well handicapped now 6lb higher. |

1st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Disappointing at Haydock (2m3f, soft) six weeks ago on ground he should have handled but he was highly progressive previously and bumped into an unexposed 4yo when a clear second at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) in October on reappearance; remains lightly raced and no surprise to see a big run. |

19th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Landed a hat-trick and made it 2-2 in handicaps when winning in fine style at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in February; clear of the third when pushing an unexposed Skelton 4yo close at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) on reappearance; up 5lb for last time but could still be ahead of the handicapper. |

29th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Creditable efforts at about 2m4f this season but brought down four out on penultimate start and below-form third behind an impressive winner at Wetherby two weeks ago; bit more to prove back over this trip but he has a good record (211) at this track; headgear (absent last six starts) returns. |

3rd 7 |
14th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |

Third over C&D (good to soft) in October and creditable fifth of 18 at Cheltenham (2m5f, good) next time; in touch when brought down four out here (2m5f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; might not be far away if handling conditions, but he may not want soft ground nowadays. |

Multiple hurdle winner (good record at Hexham) but only one success since June 2021; not disgraced on either start (after a break) this autumn and has slipped to a handy mark; likely to come good at some stage. |

4th Sep 2022 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
In fine form in the summer, completing a hat-trick in which the last leg was an 8l success over course and distance; the handicapper didn't miss him with a 10lb rise, though, and that seemed to find him out when fourth of eight at Nottingham (2m, good to firm) last month; something to prove from the same mark; stable also runs Tommaso. |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Looked promising when winning soft-ground Uttoxeter maiden by 12l for Dan Skelton one year ago but it's been largely downhill since; latest 24l third back at Uttoxeter was a bit better, particularly as he was hampered two out, but still didn't do enough to make him of interest here. |

6th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Looked promising when winning soft-ground C&D maiden by 12l for Dan Skelton a year ago; left that stable after two disappointing efforts and has been safely held in two handicaps for new stable this autumn (2m3f/2m4f; raced too freely both times) but today's drop back in trip could be a good move and it's too early to write him off. |

10th Jan 2023 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |

Won two novice hurdles last season (including over C&D on soft) and recaptured that promise with a game handicap win from Foster'sisland here (2m5f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; just 3lb higher today and it's possible this lightly raced 8yo will improve further. |

Disappointing on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m6f, good) in March and again down the field on reappearance here (2m3f, good) last month; has something to prove but he looked good when winning two novice hurdles (2m4f/2m3f, soft, including here) early in 2022 and is not written off. |

Won a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in February and this lightly raced 4yo is open to improvement this term; however, he's not obviously well treated off his opening mark and is unproven on slow ground. |

29th Oct 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |

80-1 winner of Sedgefield maiden (2m1f, good) in February; it's still very early days for this 4yo, who makes his handicap debut, but he was well beaten in a Southwell novice (2m4f, good) last time out in April and others are more compelling. |
