13th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Back in prime form for new stable last season, winning twice over 2m4f in good style; lacked fluency and was below form at last month's Aintree festival but remains quite lightly raced for his age and could still have untapped potential over 3m. |
8/1 |

14th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Rookie trainer has made a fine start to career and this fellow won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in January on his second stable start; again had something in hand at Newbury (2m4f, good) last month, despite being hampered early, and this progressive 8yo is one to consider; has won on soft. |

4th Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Had useful 2m3f form on good ground for Paul Nicholls; fell over fences on debut for new yard but he had far too much firepower for rivals when back hurdling at Uttoxeter in January (2m4f, good to soft); that race wasn't particularly competitive and his jumping had its sketchy moments but an 8lb rise may not be beyond this unexposed type. |

14th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Easy winner at Sandown (2m4f, soft) last month, taking that race for the second year running; respectable ninth in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) subsequently but this 10yo may again be vulnerable here. |

9th 11 |
17th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Regained the winning thread in emphatic style at Sandown (2m4f, soft) ten days ago, scoring by a wide margin, and retains plenty of ability aged ten; however, unlikely to follow up at this stronger level, taking on numerous younger and less exposed rivals. |

Returned from a 678-day absence to finish third over C&D in January; that was promising but he's been off since and he's not the only unexposed runner in the field. |

29th Dec 2022 Heavy 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 8yo who was a course winner over hurdles in February 2021 (2m, soft); last month's chasing debut came after a 534-day absence and he is entitled to have needed the run but he was well beaten and his current ability is not easy to gauge. |

11st 3lb |
Fourth in last season's Challow (form well advertised since); has steadily found his feet in handicaps this term, most recently winning at Wetherby (2m, soft); now wears cheekpieces; should improve further; respected. |

21st Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Bumper (soft) and novice hurdle winner who was a fair fourth in a Chepstow handicap (2m, good to soft) last month on his second start back from an absence; another 3lb lower and down in grade here; could be in the mix. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |

Had Champ De Gane 13l behind when second to the prolific Al Zaraqaan (has won next three) at Cartmel in May, and has scored twice at Uttoxeter himself since (heavy, good), enjoying chasing the leader each time; still not entirely foot-perfect, but case strong despite another 4lb rise. |

15th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Useful hurdler who was runner-up at Uttoxeter last time (2m4f, soft); pulled up on both runs over fences in late 2021; 5lb lower over fences but a bit to prove. |

Last two wins have come over C&D, more recently a ready win in February off a 5lb lower mark (good to soft); not disgraced at Ascot five weeks ago but he'll need a career best to come out on top. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Had some flashes of decent form over hurdles and fences when with Gordon Elliott but he's only 1-9 in this discipline and he finished tailed off in a handicap hurdle here recently on his debut for these connections; proven over 3m4f but not beyond; hard to warm to. |

13th Sep 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Won quite stylishly for Nicky Henderson at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in December but his form nosedived afterwards; stopped the rot with fairly good effort at end of last season but it's hard to know what to expect from him on first start for Danni O'Neill. |

28th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 3 |

Displayed good turn of foot to win a shade cosily at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in December and is now only 1lb above that mark, but has been pulled up three consecutive times since and needs to get his career back on track. |
