31st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Pulled up on first two outings after a long absence but made all to cause 20-1 surprise when dropped in grade at Kelso (2m5f, heavy) this month; quickly moves back up to Class 3 today but remains well handicapped on older form and has a C&D win on his CV. |

15th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
11yo who was pulled up towards the end of last year on both starts since a long absence; has plenty to prove but this is a sizeable drop back in grade and he's one to watch in the betting. |

Good second at Haydock (2m4f, soft) in May 2021 but not seen again until pulling up there 26 days ago; can only be watched after that. |

15th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
11yo who is 0-15 in Britain and has to produce more than he managed on his two outings towards the end of last year; however, his reduced mark appeals on last spring's form and he's not discounted. |

Yet to win in Britain but ran well in two chases here (2m5f/2m4f) in cheekpieces in the spring; had another wind op (his third) during seven-month break; versatile regarding ground and will appreciate today's ease in grade; major player if fully tuned up. |

15th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
His jumping can lack fluency and he was pulled up here last month; however, he may have needed that reappearance and is now 6lb lower than when second in this last year (good to soft); has won on heavy; not discounted. |
11/2 |

4th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Below par on final two runs last term when his jumping lacked fluency; however, he returns having had a wind op and is on a competitive mark on last season's best form, including here; could be thereabouts if jumping well. |

15th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
11yo who has been tailed off/pulled up on both starts this season and has plenty to prove; however, this C&D winner has dropped to a dangerous mark and shouldn't be written off. |
10/1 |

29th Dec 2022 Heavy 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Front-runner who has done all his winning over 2m4f+; ended last season with a disappointing run and capitulated very tamely when back in action last month; comes here with quite a bit to prove. |
33/1 |
6th 7 |
26th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Inconsistent last season and well beaten at Carlisle when last seen in March; however, he's off the same mark as when winning at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) last November, which came after a break and wind surgery, and he's not ruled out on this first outing since another wind op. |

11st 11lb |
12yo who has been beaten on his last 11 starts stretching back to October 2019 but he was a solid second off this mark at Musselburgh (3m, soft) last month and should be fine now back down in trip; can be in the mix. |

2nd 1 |
5th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 170y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Beaten 7l and 18l on his two starts this autumn but those were respectable performances at Carlisle (3m, good) and Sedgefield (3m3f, soft), where he faded late on, and this sharp 3m could prove ideal. |
15/2 |

First run for Lizzie Quinlan since she took over from her mother Barbara Butterworth; he's been absent since last January and it's a long time since he won, but he's had wind surgery and is not ruled out off a handy mark. |

15th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |

Well handicapped on best form for Tom Lacey but he was below par last January on his final start for that yard and has failed to shine on his first two runs for this stable; needs to raise his game. |

11st 11lb |
Tailed off over hurdles on reappearance in October and pulled up over fences at Newcastle on Boxing Day; it's hard to be confident on the back of that but he's capable of bouncing back to form out of the blue and is 6lb lower than when runner-up here last April; capable of a big run. |

29th Jan 2023 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Career-best form when winning a 3m handicap chase at Bangor (good to soft) last season and a late mistake was costly when runner-up on his return (3m3f); has the cheekpieces back on after disappointing in a first-time visor two weeks ago; should threaten. |
3/1 |
6 |
15th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
His best form has come over 3m and beyond but the testing conditions here could compensate; reappeared with good second at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft) in November, where a bad mistake two out was costly, and he's a key player if avoiding similar mishap; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
5/2 |

Won at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in September and has also scored on heavy ground; on a handy mark but has been pulled up the last twice and needs to get back on track. |

2nd Jan 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Came good over fences with hard-fought success in four-runnner race at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in September but that form isn't anything to get excited about and he has found things tougher since; others preferred. |
20/1 |

19th Nov 2022 Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has run well at up to 3m3f and he won a four-runner 2m4f handicap at Hexham in September; hasn't threatened the next twice, however, and looks up against it from 4lb out of the weights. |
33/1 |
