26th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
4-11 over hurdles when trained by Stuart Edmunds and and ran big race in defeat behind resurgent rival on last month's seasonal/stable debut at Plumpton (2m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces); big player if that level of form can be transferred to fences on this chasing debut. |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Runner-up in Grade 3 fillies' handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (2m3f, good) last spring and made satisfactory seasonal debut in October but capitulated very tamely at Plumpton last month and has some questions to answer on today's chasing debut. |

3rd 6 |
26th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Came good over fences at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) on New Year's Day, where she travelled well for most of the way and found enough when it mattered; moves up in grade here but a recent 3lb rise doesn't look excessive and she's open to further progress over fences; respected. |
9/4 |

1st 3 |
1st Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won a mares' handicap hurdle at Southwell in May (2m4f, good) and shaped well on same track last time when fourth on chase debut (2m4f, good); chance |
3/1 |
|
4th 9 |
29th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Lacked fluency and made just a respectable chasing debut when third of five at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) in March but drew clear to win by 19l when back over hurdles here (2m4f, good) in May and effectively only 4lb higher for this return to fences. |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Signed off for Paul Nicholls with two good-ground hurdle wins in summer 2021 (both 2m5f); could quite plausibly have more to offer over fences for Venetia Williams at some stage but has fitness to prove after 549-day absence and is untested on turf slower than good. |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Very unexposed mare who shaped with promise in two 2m novice hurdles last year; soundly beaten on chase/handicap debut at Catterick (1m7f, soft) four weeks ago and not bred to benefit from today's step up in trip but still worth keeping an eye on in the betting. |
15/2 |
|
8th 8 |
28th Dec 2022 Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Showed promise on both runs over hurdles and worth a market check on chase/handicap debut. |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won three-runner chase in pretty good style on seasonal debut at Warwick (2m4f, soft) in November and ran well until her stamina petered out at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added here; still unexposed over fences. |
7/2 |

2 |
6th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won debut over fences when beating two rivals at Warwick last month (2m4f); stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust but she's a likely strong contender off 4lb higher if she stays; best on soft ground. |
9/4 |
