25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Back in the grove with wins over C&D and at Southwell in December; didn't get a race run to suit his hold-up style when fifth back at Southwell last time and treated as if still in form. |
9/2 |

22nd Dec 2022 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has a patchy record but he's got back in the groove with Tapeta wins in his last two runs including a smooth success over C&D 13 days ago; up another 4lb but that was a personal best; looks a major force again. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins for Hugo Palmer last year, latterly over C&D in November; good third at Southwell and Wolverhampton on next two outings and a slow start provides an excuse for a lesser run back at Wolverhampton just after Christmas; thereabouts. |
6/1 |
7th 4 (7) |
30th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins for Hugo Palmer this year, latterly over 1m at Newcastle last month; similar form in defeat on his last two starts and should go well again. |
3/1 |
3rd 5 (6) |
13th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Dual winner in 2022, the latest at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) on his penultimate outing; beaten a head and a neck into third of 13 behind George Morland at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last time and closely matched with that rival at the revised weights; respected, especially if allowed his own way in front. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual AW winner (1m/1m2f) for Richard Hannon and made a good start for his new stable when second at Southwell (1m) 15 days ago; unlikely to be far away if in similar form. |
9/2 |
2nd 4 (5) |
10th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Maiden on turf for Richard Hannon but has a better Polytrack record, winning at 1m/1m2f from seven AW starts; also acts on Tapeta; now 7lb below his latest winning mark last January and of interest for new yard. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Became disappointing for Dermot Weld and showed nothing in two starts on Polytrack for George Boughey last April but she showed ability remains when returning from a second wind op to finish fourth of seven at Southwell (1m) in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) 15 days ago; well handicapped if she can build on that. |
10/1 |
4th 2 (3) |
10th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Became disappointing for Dermot Weld and showed nothing in two starts on Polytrack (1m/1m2f) for George Boughey last April; changed hands for £10,000 the following month and starts out for another new stable after 260 days off and undergoing wind surgery for a second time; tongue-tie given a go, but probably best watched unless market suggests otherwise. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Pulled up in two hurdles last summer but much better back on AW Flat for excellent new stable in recent weeks, winning over C&D before narrowly denied on follow-up bid at Wolverhampton a week ago; races from a 3lb lower mark than at Wolverhampton so his claims are obvious. |
3/1 |
2nd 1 (7) |
18th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

took keen hold, prominent, pushed along over 2f out, ridden to lead over 1f out, kept on but headed towards finish, just failed |
11/4 |
1st 4 (10) |
12th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Polytrack winner for Roger Charlton off 3lb lower last summer who didn't take to hurdles in two runs for Sam Allwood before being picked up for £8,000; the market should tell a story back from six months off. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Not at the top of his game in four starts at Kempton and Southwell since returning from a break but all four AW wins have come over 7f-1m here and he's well treated on the form he showed at this time last year if a return to this venue sparks a revival. |
8/1 |
4th 2 (2) |
10th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All four AW wins have come over 7f-1m at Newcastle; has been some way off full strength since back from break and has yet to beat a rival in two C&D runs, including behind Tropez Power three weeks ago. |
12/1 |
10th 2 (4) |
20th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Four-time Newcastle winner, latterly off today's mark early in the year; pulled hard in a messy affair on Polytrack last time and should do better back to Tapeta under a 7lb claimer who's enjoying a good spell. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Went close off 1lb higher over C&D in October and made a sound return from a short break when fourth at Southwell (1m) 17 days ago; this largely reliable type should be in the shake-up again. |
7/1 |
4th 2 (7) |
8th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went close off this mark at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in October, but didn't enjoy a smooth passage when sixth of nine back there the following month; record suggests he may just need this after two months off. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Only a 6f turf maiden win to his name but has largely run well in handicaps lately, albeit he never threatened a serious blow when stepped up to 1m for the first time at Southwell on Monday. |
9/1 |
5th 10 (8) |
23rd Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
0-10 in handicaps and unraced beyond 7f, but he's consistent and has shaped in recent months as though this first crack at 1m could prompt some improvement; effective here and could be a player. |
10/1 |
4th 7 (1) |
10th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Sole success came in a Ripon maiden (6f, good) last June, but running well in defeat lately including behind a couple of today's rivals over this trip on Tapeta; bit more needed to record a first handicap success, but still holds each-way claims. |
