11st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick when winning over C&D (good to soft) last month and his good form continued when 5l second of 15 at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) recently; another 3lb higher here but every chance he'll be bang there. |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Hasn't really threatened in 2m4f handicaps at Ayr the last twice (soft/heavy) but those were still fair efforts and he suffered interference when a 16l third of 17 last time; this lightly raced 6yo is open to improvement now up in trip and could have a part to play. |

2nd Jan 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Went close in 2m2f Kelso novice last spring and started off in handicaps with two very respectable runs in November, the latter over C&D; another 2lb lower today and makes more appeal than several of these. |

Best run when second to useful prospect in a Kelso novice (2m2f, good to soft) in April; not quite so good since but may fare better now stepped up in trip. |

0-14 under rules and he has an up-and-down profile; tailed off at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) last time but he was a good second there (1m7f, soft) previously and has run well at up to 3m1f in the past; not written off. |

28th Dec 2022 Heavy 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |

0-13 under rules but placed a few times and a late mistake perhaps cost him here three weeks ago (1m7f, soft; unraced on heavy); returning to 2m4f shouldn't hurt and Sam Twiston-Davies is back aboard. |
7/2 |
2nd 6 |
7th Dec 2022 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Flopped badly when warm favourite for last month's chasing debut and is now 0-12 overall but he ran well when second off today's mark over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) on seasonal debut in October and has possibilities if coping with the drop back in trip. |

Fair fifth on his stable and seasonal debut at Ayr in November but he's been well beaten on both runs this month and has to turn things around. |

9th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 5 |

Fair performances last March on final two runs for Iain Jardine and another one when fifth here (2m3f, soft) in November on stable debut; each-way claims on that evidence but he made it 0-11 when disappointing here (2m4f, heavy) last Monday and needs to bounce back. |

Weakened when he tackled 2m7f/3m last year but he stayed on well for third over the extended 2m5f at Ayr (heavy) recently when wearing first-time cheekpieces; well worth another go at a staying trip and this lightly raced 6yo could have more to offer in the headgear. |

Well beaten at Hereford (2m7f, good to soft) last March and same story on reappearance here (3m, good to soft) in October; needs to get back on track but the first-time cheekpieces could help and this lightly raced 6yo is of interest judged on his third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) last February. |

Runner-up at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in October and bounced back from lesser run at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) when third at Taunton (3m, good); however, she's now 0-17 and the return to slow ground may be against her. |

Disappointing when 11-4 for last month's handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft), having previously shown some staying potential on soft/heavy ground; however, this unexposed 6yo could return to form when back on a deeper surface and is not ruled out in first-time cheekpieces. |

Point-to-point bumper winner who was a promising third in a rules bumper at Hexham last March; made no impact when sixth on his three hurdle starts (2m-2m4f) but he makes his handicap debut off a lowly mark in first-time cheekpieces; interesting, especially if well backed. |
