Back to her best for new yard when landing a second career success in 12-runner C&D handicap ten days ago; ought to remain competitive after a 4lb rise. |

AW winner for previous yard; outran her 40-1 odds with close fourth over 1m4f here last week on third start for new stable; frame possibilities if backing up that form. |

Still a maiden but looked unlucky at Kempton (1m3f; stable debut) ten days ago as he endured a troubled passage on the way to finishing a close second; could well go one better granted better luck. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Justified favouritism (off 4lb lower) in similar event over C&D 18 days ago, proving suited by the new trip and taking Kempton record to 3-5 (previous course wins came over 1m); unexposed at 1m3f and commands respect. |

Both wins remain on turf; ran respectably (20-1 third) over 1m2f at Newcastle 12 days ago but has inconsistent AW form and isn't certain to back up that effort. |

3rd 3 (4) |

7th 1 (8) |
12th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Trounced four rivals at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) in August but was held off his revised mark at Goodwood next time and he's been well below form on turf and Polytrack in last two starts; now only 3lb higher than for last win but he needs to get back on track. |

Finally broke his AW duck at the 29th time of asking over 1m2f here this month and has gone on to add quick wins at Southwell and Kempton (both 1m3f); another 6lb higher now going for the four-timer but still much respected in his current mood. |

4th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
All three wins have come over 2m on Polytrack (including one here), but her best effort since returning from a lengthy absence in September was when beaten a neck by Pablo Prince over 1m4f here last month; didn't back it up at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) next time, but the return to a longer trip should suit and she isn't dismissed. |
12/1 |

8th 4 (7) |
25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |

Has done her winning over 2m but finished well for a close second when dropped back to 1m4f at Lingfield last time; however, this furlong-shorter trip may prove a touch too sharp. |
13/2 |

2nd 2 (2) |
7th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Returned from long absence with two underwhelming 2m runs at Kempton in the autumn and was well beaten on last month's hurdling debut; not sure to be suited by today's drop back in trip and has a lot to prove at present. |

3rd 1 (1) |

Won at Bath last June and it's possible she needed the run at Chelmsford last month after a 128-day break; however, she's failed to shine on her three AW starts and has something to prove on the surface. |
14/1 |

Better for the step up to this trip in the summer, winning off 4lb lower before chasing home a well-handicapped rival at Yarmouth; one of the likelier winners back from four months off. |

6th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |

Still seeking his first win after ten starts and he has been huge prices and well held in three runs for Neil Mulholland this autumn; dropped 10lb as a result and stepping back up in trip should be in his favour; risky, but worth a market check. |

Hit a personal best RPR when forging clear in a C&D handicap in July but he was well below that form in his final two runs during the summer; now returns to Polytrack but he's still 3lb higher than for last win and has a bit to prove after a break; market should guide. |
