25th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won two in a row (good/heavy) prior to finishing second in this last year (good to soft); he's 5lb lower than 12 months ago and is one to watch in the betting, but this 11yo has been tailed off/pulled up on his two runs this season and a major turnaround is required. |

22nd Jan 2024 Frozen 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (3m, good) and Taunton (2m7f, heavy) last March and only 3lb higher than for the latest of those; however, he's an 11yo now and his reappearance was underwhelming even if that was over 2m4f. |

31st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
2m4f winner over hurdles last season for Jack Barber; good second at Ffos Las (2m5f, soft) on the switch to fences and debut for Harry Fry; should build on that effort; highly respected up just 2lb. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 199y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Found improvement after wind surgery when landing a maiden hurdle here (2m4f, soft; 22-1) last November; well held in handicaps in final three runs for Jack Barber last season but that win came after a break and he needs watching in market back at this track on his chase/stable debut. |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Vulnerable over fences since 2m win at Ffos Las last April (good; acts on soft); hasn't run over hurdles since 2020 but he returns to them at a very realistic level and has a more obvious chance than many. |
6/1 |
|
4th 8 |
5th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
C&D winner on good in April 2022; has weights turnaround with convincing winner Haldon Hill (2m5f, soft) in November and return to 2m should suit but has been vulnerable for a while; regular hood discarded. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 |
25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 199y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Point winner who is 1-26 under rules but his win came over fences here (2m, good) in April and he returned from a short break with a close third back at this track (2m, soft) two weeks ago; on unchanged mark and he's a big player if he can repeat that form back up in trip. |

24th Feb 2024 Heavy 3m 2f 54y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Gained all three wins on heavy ground at Ffos Las (2m-2m6f); safely held in cheekpieces and then a visor on her last two hurdling starts (2m4f/2m); tries a new trip and sports first-time blinkers on this return to chasing; too well handicapped to rule out but needs to turn a corner. |

30th Dec 2022 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Maiden under rules; no great promise in either chasing start (pulled up over 2m2f here last week) and hopes pinned on stepping up in trip and return of blinkers (ran reasonably in one attempt), replacing cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

21st Dec 2022 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well beaten on last month's chase debut at Ffos Las but it was her first run since April and the soft ground may not have suited; she's on a competitive mark on her best hurdle form and retains potential for fences, having won a point in December 2020; not written off. |

25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 199y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
0-7 over hurdles but she reached the frame a few times last season including a second off only 1lb lower at Wetherby (2m4f, good to soft) in March; has had wind surgery since her last run in April and this point winner needs a close look on this switch to chasing; blinkers are removed and cheekpieces return. |

10st 2lb |
Both wins early in 2023; last season was disappointing but he's since had wind surgery (second time) and is 3lb below his last winning mark. |
