11st 3lb |
Won back-to-back handicap chases (2m7f/3m) on right-handed tracks two winters ago and she may prefer going that way round; modest form of late in cheekpieces and now tries blinkers. |

Easy winner at Ffos Las on chasing debut in October (2m3f+) but didn't back that up when fourth at Exeter last month (3m; has won at that trip); return to the winning effort certainly puts him in the picture. |

Win last February came off this mark but he's offered little in two runs over hurdles back from almost a year off, latterly for his new yard a fortnight ago; the return to fences needs to help. |

Flopped at Ludlow last month and has something to prove on the back of that, but two starts ago he won at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) and he's also effective on good ground; not ruled out. |

These aids seem to have helped and he was having just his second attempt at a staying trip when a convincing winner at Huntingdon last month (2m7f, good to soft; only three finished); should go on; Harry Cobden a rare booking for the yard. |

11st 10lb |
Tied up and headed on the line after looking sure to win on the back of a long absence at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft); not so good after 50 days off at Taunton but that wasn't a bad race and cheekpieces could help. |

Looked sure to win at Market Rasen last month on return from a long absence, but tied up and was headed on the line; could do better with that behind him but this looks stronger and he's just 1-18 in his career. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Something to prove regarding current form as he's failed to shine over fences this winter, but he's 1-14 in chases as opposed to 3-10 over hurdles, and perhaps the return to this discipline will trigger a revival. |

27th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |

Capable stayer but has struggled with consistency; finished a 10l fourth at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day, a race in which Vision De Maine was pulled up, but that was a laboured effort; handles most ground and has the ability to get involved but comes with risk. |

Course winner but it's now 16 starts since his last victory and he came in a remote fifth of seven over C&D on Boxing Day; he's not one to rely on. |

Far from solid judged on bare form this term, albeit had a physical excuse (found to have an irregular heartbeat) last time; this five-time hurdles scorer drops back in grade and is competitively treated provided he stages a revival. |

Hurdle winner (off 4lb higher) just over a year ago but yet to fire as a chaser; well beaten on return from a break last month and cheekpieces need to inspire a serious upturn in fortunes. |
