13th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Switch to blinkers and aggressive tactics has done the job, with him winning his last two starts here tidily from the front; the combination of softer ground and another 7lb rise means he'll need another forward step but that's quite possible. |
7/2 |

1st 5 |
27th Feb 2023 Good 2m 1f 164y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Last two runs have been here and blinkers have helped, especially last time when making all and coming home some 20l the good (good to soft); 12lb rise is understandable and looks to have turned a major corner. |

0-13 over hurdles; put in good front-running shift and was placed for first time when third in first-time blinkers here (2m4f, soft) last month; may benefit from this drop back in trip but others have more potential. |

Fakenham winner in October but was hammered some 20l by Inferno Sacree here last month and can't see him turning those tables. |

Kept on well to score at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in October and ran better than eventual 19l defeat suggests at Taunton (2m3f, good) the following month but others appeal more all the same. |

13th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Well held behind Inferno Sacree over C&D in January but is fully 21lb better off today; since unseated his jockey mid-race (started joint-favourite) behind Good Time Ahead and is one to consider. |
6/1 |

20th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Came good with an emphatic win over C&D (heavy) in December but his mark shot up 12lb and failed to repeat the form at Plumpton three weeks ago; he needs to resume his progress back at this track. |
10/1 |

4th 5 |
30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Came good over hurdles at 11th attempt, with wide-margin success at Lingfield (2m, heavy) last month; today's quicker conditions will also suit, but a 12lb hike up the weights asks quite a lot of him. |

Yet to be placed after eight runs but kept on for very respectable fourth (about 12l behind Mole Court) at Warwick (2m5f, good) two weeks ago and remains unexposed over this sort of trip. |

Struggled to get competitive when a big-priced outsider on first three hurdling starts (2m-2m5f); makes handicap debut off a lowly mark but remains difficult to enthuse over. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |

Fair on the Flat (raced exclusively on AW): showed only minor promise on his three hurdling starts in the autumn and his tendency to raced too freely remains a concern but he's open to improvement in handicaps. |

Rallied well to open hurdles account at Ffos Las (2m, heavy; front pair well clear) last month, his tenth attempt; also suited by this C&D and will be fine on today's quicker ground; likely contender. |

Close second in course bumper last season; failed to complete first two hurdle races but displayed some promise at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day and has plenty of scope for improvement in handicaps. |

Ex-Irish maiden who failed to build upon low-key stable debut when soundly beaten on handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in January; moves up in trip and has tongue-tie fitted here; not written off just yet. |

Ex-Irish maiden; made low-key stable debut in Huntingdon novice this month but no surprise if he gets much more competitive now switched to a low-grade handicap and with that outing under his belt. |

21st Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Second in two good-ground juvenile hurdles in the autumn (one here) and ran well for a long way when third on handicap debut at Lingfield (2m, heavy) in December; player if judged on that evidence but needs to bounce back from a disappointing C&D run in January. |

Second in two good-ground juvenile hurdles in the autumn (one here); finished tired and about 26l behind Tommy Dillion when third on last month's handicap debut at Lingfield (2m, heavy) but ran well for a long way there and today's switch back to a quicker surface ought to suit; respected. |

9th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Perhaps needed the experience on sole bumper run; has achieved nothing in two novice hurdles (2m/2m3f) since but first-time headgear is a possible source of improvement. |

Won four times on the Flat from 7f-1m2f in Ireland in 2019-20; only moderate form over hurdles but could be worth a market check on return from a long break. |

Quite useful on the Flat in his prime but unplaced all six hurdle runs, most recently pulled up in October 2021; tailed off on Flat the following month and not seen again since; considered only if lively in the betting. |
