20th Nov 2022 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
2m4f chase winner who is still not fully exposed; non-stayer over a testing 3m2f on seasonal debut; possibilities back down in trip, provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces. |

30th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Hurdle/chase winner in Ireland; failed to beat a rival when last seen (sold for £12,000 since) but market support should be noted on debut for new stable; returns to chasing for first time in 12 months. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Returned from break with wide-margin win last spring but generally very disappointing since; last month's Taunton fourth (3m2f, good) was a step back in the right direction but he was well held in the end; others have more appealing profiles. |

4th 1 |
21st Dec 2022 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Emphatic winner off a 3m2f handicap at Newton Abbot (good) in May but he's not come close to that form since and has been tailed off and pulled up at Exeter (3m) in last two starts; now 4lb lower than for last win but he has a lot to prove. |

11st 12lb |
Scored over C&D off today's mark in late 2020 and was second in Sussex National here (3m4f, soft) a few weeks later but ran poorly on latest outing in March 2021 and has fitness to prove after long layoff. |

29th Jan 2023 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came good over fences last season with win/placed form from 2m6f to 3m; ran a perfectly sound race on his return over hurdles at Uttoxeter and should be in the thick of it back chasing. |

28th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Belatedly opened his account when justifying favouritism in a handicap chase at Chepstow (2m7f, good) on reappearance but he then finished tailed off at Exeter (good to soft); on a good mark but looks hard to trust. |

20th Nov 2022 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |

Justified favouritism in handicap chase at Chepstow (2m7f, good) on reappearance, belatedly opening his account; still well treated (peak mark was 12lb higher); shortlisted. |

21st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
0-8 over fences for Henry de Bromhead and was sold out of that yard for only £1,500; his fourth on stable debut at Chepstow (2m7f) was remote; looks up against it. |
33/1 |

4th 10 |
3rd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
0-8 over fences for Henry de Bromhead in Ireland and was out of form when last seen in late 2021; changed hands for £1,500 in September; given a good chance by the handicapper before today's British debut but others have much less to prove; tongue-tie refitted. |

1st Feb 2023 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Showed promise in sole bumper but was beaten 24l or more in her three hurdle runs and she kicked off her chase career with a tailed-off effort in Uttoxeter handicap (2m4f, heavy) on New Year's Eve; that was after a lengthy absence but she was laboured at a big price and others are preferred. |
25/1 |

12th 15 |
31st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Fourth in a bumper two seasons ago then showed no progress over hurdles last winter; not a strong contender on form but is a possible improver on chase/handicap debut; note market signals. |

31st Dec 2022 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Triple C&D winner who ran respectably when third at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in October but this is tougher from out of the weights after another break and his last three wins have come on good ground; others preferred. |
16/1 |
Verdict
Recent form is thin on the ground and JAYTEE (nap), still unexposed as a chaser and having run well over hurdles on his return, makes most appeal. Robyndzone is feared most, ahead of Seven No Trumps.[Jonathan Neesom]
