26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Soft-ground bumper winner who easily won a 16-runner novice hurdle at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in January; soundly beaten on last month's handicap and seasonal debut at Huntingdon (2m, good) but could improve for the run and this unexposed mare may well have potential off her current mark. |

Improved to win 16-runner Doncaster novice (2m, good to soft) in January and was not discredited when beaten odds-on favourite the following month; makes handicap debut after 291-day absence but probably still has potential; enters calculations. |

17th Nov 2023 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |

0-4 over hurdles, with a tendency to race too freely, but ran big race in defeat in Warwick handicap (2m5f, good) in May; kept on steadily from the rear for respectable fourth on recent chasing debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft), after a break, and ought to build on that performance here. |

Consistent 9yo who recorded his second win of the campaign at Stratford (extended 2m6f, good) last time, continuing a productive partnership with Isabelle Ryder; this drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience and, despite a 3lb higher mark, he looks set to give another good account. |

Two wins last season, the first a four-runner Huntingdon handicap in May (3m1f, good), the second a six-runner handicap at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; far from disgraced in a competitive race at Aintree last time and not without a chance despite career-high mark. |

Ridden last nine starts by William Maggs; rarely seen on soft ground; six-time winner, most recently last May; good placed efforts at about 3m four times in a row in October-December, before he failed to show in a Pertemps qualifier at Musselburgh (10-1) nearly seven weeks ago; best form this term was over C&D, so he's not entirely ruled out. |

Did not have to live up to his good bumper form when a cosy winner on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter in October (2m, good) and was far from discredited when beaten nearly 10l in a warm Haydock Listed race since (1m7f, soft); should play a big part in this less demanding race. |
