23rd Nov 2023 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
10yo who won at Ffos Las (3m, good) and Taunton (2m7f, heavy) in March but he was well-held third of four in final run last season; has decent record when fresh but he's on a tough enough mark again and this looks competitive on his return. |
6/1 |

3rd 5 |
27th Apr 2023 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Left it late to try staying trips but he won last month at Ffos Las (2m7f, good) and over C&D (heavy) before a creditable second over 3m at Exeter last time; this 10yo takes on some unexposed chasers here but he still looks feasibly treated and should be in the mix again. |

11th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Left it late to try staying trips but is now 2-2 over 2m7f+ after narrow wins at Ffos Las (good) and Taunton (heavy); raised 12lb in the process but only seems to do enough and he might well cope with that. |

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. |

22nd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Ran poorly over hurdles at Chepstow (3m, heavy) a fortnight ago, but she hasn't been at her best in three outings there whereas she has won three times here, the latest in a chase over C&D (heavy) in March; now 1lb lower and the softer the better for her, so a major player if conditions remain favourable. |
8/1 |

8th Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
towards rear, not fluent and dropped to last 3rd, outpaced before 3 out, kept on approaching last, no telling impression |
5/1 |

3rd 7 |
15th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 5f 110y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Held on gamely to open chasing account off 1lb lower here (2m3f, heavy) in March; not quite in same form on either subsequent start in the spring but is a player if back on song after her break. |

30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Did just enough to pip Felton Bellevue over C&D (good) in February, earning his first win at seventh attempt under rules; out of form in his three runs since, on the heels of Felton Bellevue at Warwick on reappearance but both were way behind the principals; back to that C&D winning mark. |

9th Apr 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Things seemed to click when he scored at Lingfield (2m7f, good) in February but he was soundly beaten in a follow-up bid at Wincanton (odds-on) three weeks later; handles soft ground and dangerous if bouncing back. |

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. |

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. |
12/1 |

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. |

Dual hurdle winner in a visor in early part of this year but he dropped out and was pulled up at Chepstow only 20 days ago following wind surgery. |

31st Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual hurdle winner in a visor in early part of this year, latterly when keeping on strongly over C&D (good to soft); slightly below that form here on latest outing in April and will need to kick on again to overcome current mark; had win op last month. |
