25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kicked off his chase career with a good front-running second at Exeter (3m, good to soft) last November but he struggled in final two runs last season (pulled up/tailed off); on dangerous mark on his return to action but he's still a maiden after 13 starts and others are more convincing. |

10st 10lb |
His sole hurdling success came back in 2019 and he's been below par both runs over fences this term, fitted with cheekpieces when fifth at Newton Abbot (3m2f) 47 days ago; others are preferred. |

Out of form when last seen in the autumn; resumes on a good mark and has gone well when fresh before but it still takes a leap of faith to support him here. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won by 47l in first-time cheekpieces here (3m2f, heavy) just over a year ago; well below that form this season but didn't run badly over 3m2f here (good; behind Tudors Treasure) in first-time blinkers last month and today's slower ground is in his favour. |

25th Feb 2023 Good 3m 2f 54y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Galloped rivals into the ground when winning a division of this 12 months ago (heavy; first-time cheekpieces) but the boot has been on the other foot this winter and he again ran moderately last time (first-time tongue-tie, now left off); ringing the changes with blinkers but has much to prove. |
6/1 |
7th 8 |
23rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Best effort this season when third, albeit no match for the first two, over C&D (soft) in November; easy winner at Chepstow last February but recent form is below that level; tongue-tie added. |

12st 0lb |
Has made excellent progress for Kerry Lee and Nigel Twiston-Davies over the last year, winning four times (twice here); predictably found Grade 2 mares' chase too hot at last month's Cheltenham Festival but has her sights lowered today and could still have further improvement to come. |

Made the running for all four chase wins, at about 3m1f on ground ranging from good to soft; no match for Carole's Pass at Exeter recently and her most recent runs at about this trip, which are very infrequent anyway, give her lots to find. |

5th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
5lb out of the handicap today but won off this mark over fences (3m, heavy) and hurdles (3m2f, soft) in February 2021; two seconds (last December and this May) are easily the best of his eight starts since and he's a hard one to rely on. |

25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won off this mark over fences (3m, heavy) and hurdles (3m2f, soft) early last year but has a very mixed record since and was tailed off at Hereford (3m1f chase) on his seasonal return two weeks ago; new combination of headgear is now tried and he comes with risks attached. |
9/1 |
9th 5 |
8th Nov 2022 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Bounced back from some lacklustre efforts when runner-up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good; refitted blinkers) in May; handicapped to have a say (3lb above last winning mark) but is 0-5 at Hereford, including as a beaten favourite in this race in 2019; isn't easy to predict. |

Record of 2-22 in points and 11 defeats under rules have been divided between hurdling and chasing; didn't run badly over fences here (2m5f, good) on her return in October but she was tailed off when unseating at Plumpton eight days later. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Four-time chase winner but not since January 2021 and has regressed in the meantime; made a lot of the running when placed off today's career-low mark at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in January but others have more persuasive profiles; swaps visor for refitted blinkers; tongue-tie refitted. |

4th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won five times between January 2020-January 2021 but no success since and has rather lost his way (tailed off on return in November); won this in 2020 but only sixth last year (now 21lb lower); needs a revival. |

25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Four-time chase winner (3m-3m2f) on soft/heavy ground but his last success was in January 2021 and he was out of form last season; now 10lb lower than for his last win but has something to prove back from 222 days off; stablemate of Ring The Moon. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Both wins in Class 5, including an easy success at Ffos Las (3m, soft) in January; looks potentially better than that grade but was only fourth (below par) when favourite for a Class 4 there last month. |

9th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |

23rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Only a modest fourth on heavy ground at Uttoxeter last time but otherwise in great form this term, opening his account at Fakenham (3m, good) then solid second at Lingfield (2m7f, soft); could well bounce back. |

Downed an odds-on favourite when recording 33-1 win at Chepstow (2m Class 5 conditionals' handicap hurdle; soft) two starts ago but weakened tamely in a Stratford seller subsequently; has won over fences in the past, including here (2m), but couldn't be a confident choice. |
