12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Scored over C&D (good to soft) in first-time cheekpieces on seasonal debut in November and followed up at Catterick (2m3f, soft) just after Christmas; not in same form when well-held third at Catterick in January but could still have more improvement to come. |

Ex-French gelding who finished a solid third to an improver in this race last year (similar ground); bettered that when winning off 6lb lower on his comeback last month (first-time cheekpieces) and enters calculations. |

Consistent and progressive mare with two chase wins here this spring; only third (off 9lb lower) when last seen over hurdles six months ago but has improved since; fair chance if able to transfer her chasing form. |

12th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |

Progressive mare; has won two of her last three races on good/good to soft, the latest over C&D; up 7lb and up in grade, but not out of it. |

9th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Runner-up late last year in her only two runs at this track; won a four-runner mares' handicap at Catterick (3m1f, good) in February on her third chase start and creditable second at Catterick (also 3m1f on good) last time; that puts her firmly in the mix. |

Yet to win over fences but has performed with credit in all four chases, the latest a C&D third last month; acts on all ground and chance may depend on effect of first-time cheekpieces. |

Won a Market Rasen maiden (2m4f, good) in July and her best effort yet in handicap company came when third over 3m at Ffos Las (soft; under A J O'Neill); each-way claims once more. |

Came good over hurdles at third attempt, in Market Rasen maiden (2m4f, good) in July, but safely held in both subsequent handicaps (2m7f/2m4f); can't be written off just yet but needs to up her game. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Just a respectable seventh at Cartmel (2m6f, good) last month and career strike-rate now stands at 1-54 but his only previous run in cheekpieces was a creditable third at Sedgefield (2m1f, heavy) in April, and he's 2lb lower here; fine on good ground; considered each-way. |

22nd Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fairly useful Flat performer up to 2020; expensive to follow over hurdles since but with five seconds from his nine attempts, including over C&D last month after 252 days off, and he should figure prominently. |

Smart Flat performer up to 2020 but proved very expensive to follow over hurdles the following year; long absence before two sizeable defeats last autumn and back from another break with a few questions to answer. |

6th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |

Won first three starts in blinkers and probably undone by combination of soft ground and a rise in class when pulled up at Market Rasen in July; stays this trip (C&D winner) and could well bounce back. |

Has thrived for a change of headgear and made it 3-3 in these blinkers (all over 2m on good ground) with something to spare at Hexham a fortnight ago; up in grade here but entitled to respect given his purple patch. |

25th Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Two handicap hurdle wins this season, the latter gained easily by 18l from the front at Hexham (2m, good) this month; it's unwise to take that form at face value but the handicapper has been pragmatic, raising him 7lb. |
7/2 |

1st 3 |
6th Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Only 1-19 as a hurdler but has proved very consistent since arriving in Britain just over a year ago; third at Bangor on latest start and, while he is likely to be vulnerable for win purposes, should give his running. |

3rd 5 |
21st Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |

Only 1-18 over hurdles but only narrowly failed to double his tally from the front at Southwell (2m, good) last month; same mark here and likely to go well. |

Runner-up on bumper debut but has tended to refuse to settle since switched to hurdling; saddle slipped when pulled up in early stages of recent handicap debut; first-time hood might help but remains risky. |

took keen hold, towards rear of midfield, swerved sharply right and badly hampered rivals soon after start, saddle slipped before 1st, brief headway 2nd, eased and pulled up after 3rd |
