14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
More miss than hit over the last 12 months or so but he won at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) in January and returned to form to go very close behind East Street at Wetherby (3m, heavy) last month; key player if again on song. |

Has gone well fresh before but was entitled to need his March comeback following a year off; should do better tonight and won't mind the ground easing. |

Absent since below-par run at Chepstow just over a year ago but was second three times over C&D last season, including short-head defeat on heavy ground; can go well fresh and resumes on good mark; must be considered. |

29th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Well held over fences the last twice but has always looked better as a hurdler and runner-up over C&D off this mark in February; good or quicker ground ideal and should certainly be in the shake-up. |

11th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Heavy and (last time) fast-deteriorating ground have counted against him on both handicap chase starts this year; replication of form of 3m1f hurdles second off 5lb higher here in February sees him go close, however. |

1st May 2023 Good 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |

His second at Plumpton (3m1f, good) was encouraging but not his following effort there and he's now 0-11. |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Not much to shout about this winter but his second over C&D (good) on his penultimate start was more encouraging; pulled up on soft ground back here 13 days ago; wait for the elusive first win may continue. |

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. |

17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Surprisingly not tried again over long trips since staying 3m7f fine in late 2020; longer still since his last win but on a fine mark resultantly, and he's scored in debuted headgear before (blinkers added). |
5/1 |

9th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Returned from long absence with encouraging hurdle run here in November but this regressive veteran was pulled up over C&D (albeit on heavy ground) when returned to chasing last month and it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the right mood today; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor; tongue-tie on for first time. |
16/1 |

5th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
First start for 17 months when second of six over C&D (soft) in November; failed to back that up 12 days later; those runs were over hurdles but he had plenty of chase experience in previous seasons and he's thrown in if judged on the best of those efforts in 2019 and 2020; some headgear returns and he ran well (won) in some in only the first of four attempts. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Interesting on the pick of last winter's form for John Spearing, including a hurdle win at Warwick off 3lb higher; has run well here in the past; not at his best in two chase runs this season but his new yard are quick to change his headgear and drop him in trip; not discounted. |

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

Returned from a summer break last season with a comfortable 2m3f win on heavy over hurdles; ended that campaign out of form, however, and did not revive when making chase debut on this season's reappearance; 8lb out of the handicap, with stamina also to be proved. |
