10th Mar 2023 Good 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Scored on chasing debut at Newcastle (2m7f, soft) in November and probably bettered that performance when second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) the following month; below form on good ground four weeks ago but remains one to be interested in. |

9th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 5 |

Point winner who improved for the switch to fences when winning at Newcastle (2m7f, soft) in November, and good second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) since; could progress further and he has leading claims. |

18th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won C&D handicap (good) last September but her form cooled during the winter and she was pulled up at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) on her return last month; chase record now stands at 1-9 and she needs to turn things around; cheekpieces added. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 5 |

Won a handicap at Perth (2m4f, good) last September and she went very close at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) next time but her form has cooled in last two runs; chase record now stands at 1-8 and she needs to get back near her best after a break. |

No closer than 11l in three runs this season and his strike-rate of 1-43 is offputting; the win came in France. |

5th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Useful in his prime but lightly raced and very disappointing in recent years; ought to have coped with the soft ground when pulled-up 200-1 shot over C&D six weeks ago; has too much to prove. |

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

Multiple winner in his younger days; however, has achieved little since returning from a mammoth absence this term; still needs to prove he retains ability. |

5th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |

Pretty useful hurdler/chaser up to summer 2018 but struggled on his three starts in 2019 and, after a very long absence, it's been the same story in three runs this term; equipment is removed today. |

28th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
12yo who is winless since March 2022 and is 5lb out of the handicap today; however, he's a three-time C&D winner who was a fair third of six over C&D (soft) last time, and holds each-way claims in a race lacking depth. |
7/1 |

3rd 7 |
29th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
12yo who has regressed and struggled at Catterick the last twice; however, this three-time C&D winner ran fairly well over C&D in November on his reappearance, and could stage a revival now back here off 12lb lower. |

28th Dec 2022 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Unable to justify prominence in the betting when pulled up on this month's chase/handicap debut but remains very unexposed and is evidently thought capable of better. |

1st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Tailed off in novice hurdle at Wetherby in October when back from nearly a year off; however, he showed promise in 3m1f maiden hurdle at Huntingdon last term and, having been third in his sole point, this very lightly raced 6yo is a possible improver now switched to fences on his handicap debut. |

1st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
13yo who was pulled up at Sedgefield last time out and could do with the ground drying out (has done all his winning on good going); however, he won over C&D two starts ago and may be able to cope if good to soft going prevails; not discounted now back here. |

17th Nov 2022 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
13yo who was pulled up at Sedgefield (3m3f, good) last month and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; however, on his two previous starts he was a close third over this C&D (good) and won at Market Rasen (3m, good); not ruled out if conditions suit (wouldn't want soft ground). |
