30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Can race keenly but enhanced his excellent strike-rate when holding on at Leicester (1m7f, soft) having been clear at one point; 5lb higher in a better race now (Caoilin Quinn rode last time claiming 3lb); goes on all ground. |

7th Dec 2022 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice over hurdles in March (2m3f, good/good to soft) and has done well on the Flat since, with the latest of three wins gained in a Class 2 event in September (2m, soft); spoiled his chance by racing far too freely on recent return to hurdling but can be very dangerous off his current mark if/when he settles better. |

3rd 5 |
26th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-14 under rules and he has an up-and-down profile; tailed off at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) last time but he was a good second there (1m7f, soft) previously and has run well at up to 3m1f in the past; not written off. |
12/1 |

4th 7 |
28th Dec 2022 Heavy 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-13 under rules but placed a few times and a late mistake perhaps cost him here three weeks ago (1m7f, soft; unraced on heavy); returning to 2m4f shouldn't hurt and Sam Twiston-Davies is back aboard. |
7/2 |

2nd 6 |
7th Dec 2022 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Flopped badly when warm favourite for last month's chasing debut and is now 0-12 overall but he ran well when second off today's mark over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) on seasonal debut in October and has possibilities if coping with the drop back in trip. |

31st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
No match for the front two at Leicester last time but he only just missed out the run before when in first-time cheekpieces; handicapped about right but he's consistent. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
7th Dec 2022 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up in the last four of his five handicaps, most recently in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Doncaster (2m3f, good) 12 days ago; latest 2lb rise doesn't help but today's trip-and-ground combination should also suit and he ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
25th Nov 2022 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up in the last three of his four handicaps, most recently behind a next-time-out winner in 13-runner race at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; nudged up 2lb for that but will be dangerous if the first-time cheekpieces have any sort of positive effect. |

8th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Both wins (19 starts) came very narrowly, most recently at Kempton last February; had been runner-up at 50-1 in this race on heavy ground the time before; refused to line up once in October and well beaten in early December but an each-way case can be made. |
9/1 |

7th Dec 2022 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dug deep to pip progressive rival at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in February and will be fine on the forecast slower ground here, but she was below form on latest outing in May and her record when fresh is not compelling. |

31st Oct 2022 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Went close off this mark at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in March but that was in a small field and she failed to match that form in her final run during the spring; hurdles record now stands at 1-15 and she doesn't have a great record when fresh; others preferred. |

7th Dec 2022 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Looked back in good form when second at Hexham (2m, good) in April but was sold out of James Ewart's for £1,000 after a disappointing run the following month; goes without cheekpieces (worn for both wins) on today's stable debut and would appeal more on good ground. |

7th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned over hurdles last year, winning in June; has not scored on the Flat since 2020 and faces a difficult-looking task in this fairly competitive field returned to this code. |

7th Dec 2022 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Scored off 3lb lower at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in the spring and, following a break, appeared to run well when second of three finishers in tactical C&D event (good to firm) last month; also suited by slower ground; enters calculations. |
