12th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 5f 214y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
11yo who has regressed and hasn't shaped on his two starts this season as though as he's about to return to winning ways; however, his reappearance run wasn't a bad effort, he's now 9lb lower and it's possible the first-time visor will give him a boost; stays well and is not written off. |

30th Dec 2022 Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Won the Tommy Whittle here (heavy) and the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, soft) in winter 2020-21; the severe lack of form since sees him well down the weights today and his C&D reappearance six weeks ago (following wind surgery) was a mini-revival, after which he needs much better today. |

2nd 7 |
31st Dec 2022 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won off 4lb higher at Doncaster (3m, soft) in February 2020; has had only four runs since but after another wind operation he was a creditable second back at Doncaster on his seasonal return three weeks ago; was a well-backed favourite in that race and he's respected off an unchanged mark. |
7/2 |

2nd 6 |
9th Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won off 4lb higher over C&D (soft) in February 2020 but he missed 2021 and wasn't at his best in three runs early this year; returns from another absence but he's had a second wind operation and needs watching in the market back at this track. |

25th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
His form can be up and down and he needs to produce more than when sixth at Market Rasen (3m3f, good to soft) on Boxing Day, but he went there on the back of two good seconds (3m/3m6f, good/good to soft) and is not ruled out; has won on soft ground. |

26th Dec 2022 Soft 3m 3f 123y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Comes here after running very well in defeat on his last two appearances, latterly when second at Exeter (3m6f, good to soft) this month but is not always easy to predict and needs a new career-best today. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
2nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Veteran who is not easy to predict but he's 5-16 over fences and got back near his best with a close call at Wetherby (good) three weeks ago; looks interesting if he can back that up off only 2lb higher here and he has form over an extended 3m6f. |

4th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
This is his first run since July 2021 but his trainer can ready one after a long absence and he won four of his last six starts (good/soft; including C&D); interesting on return, especially if attracting market support. |

12th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 5f 214y Class 3 |

Even from 2lb out of the handicap he's well treated on Irish form as recent as last February but was well beaten on his final two runs for Dermot McLoughlin and it's been the same story on his three outings for this yard. |

1st Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 3 |

Fairly useful ex-Irish hurdler/chaser but he offered little on his yard debut when pulled up in 3m2f Kelso handicap chase three days ago; blinkers go on now with lots to prove; 6lb out of weights. |

Stays well and several creditable efforts to his name but a maiden after 23 starts and was tailed off at Chepstow last month, on return from a long absence; others more appealing. |
