In good form on last two French starts, winning by 5l at Nancy (2m3f) then clear second at Auteuil (2m2f), both 4yo hurdle races; wears a refitted hood on British debut; still an unexposed sort and market confidence should be heeded. |

Unbeaten in three novice events last summer but tailed off on November's handicap debut at Hereford; plenty to prove after that. |

11st 8lb |
Goes well here, having won at the track on soft (1m7f) and good ground (2m4f) since March; well held off this career-high mark at Taunton but returning here has to be a good thing. |

24th Nov 2022 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
12st 4lb |
Easily made all at Wincanton (2m4f, good) last Thursday; that course brings out the best in her but she's run with credit on both visits here and has to be respected under a 7lb penalty. |

11st 5lb |
Three wins from six starts when trained in France, including in May (2m2f, soft) on final outing there; well beaten in handicap at Wetherby last month on British debut but that was on good ground and it's possible he will be a very different proposition today. |

Fair effort on last month's Lingfield return and could build on that; hasn't won since March 2021 (pulled up in this a year ago when favourite) but too well handicapped to be dismissed out of hand. |

21st Dec 2022 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up on debut in a French bumper (1m7f, soft) last October and same again when beaten 13l in a novice at Lingfield (2m, soft) four weeks in his second hurdling/British start; different ground is forecast this time but he's in each-way calculations. |

24th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up on debut in French bumper (1m7f, soft) last October and he also showed promise when fifth of 15 behind subsequent Listed winner Tahmuras on recent hurdle/stable debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft); open to improvement and he's one to consider. |

26th Dec 2022 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Can handle soft ground but probably needs it good over hurdles, as when winning two novice events in the spring; beaten a long way in two handicaps since returning from a break. |
18/1 |

6th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Dual novice hurdle winner in the spring (both times on good ground) but has found things much tougher in his first two handicaps and others have much more obvious claims. |
25/1 |
Verdict
No No Tonic is 3-3 here and he could take some reeling in despite an 11lb higher mark than last time. However, ROCKINASTORM has the potential to be better treated than most of these now he enters the handicap scene and the same comment applies to second choice High Game Royal. Le Patron probably has to improve on his Plumpton second but he had been absent for a while prior to that.[Alistair Jones]
