2nd 4 |
8th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Placed in four of his first five handicaps before romping home to score by 29l under Cameron Iles in first-time visor at Ffos Las (2m6f, soft) eight days ago; needs to prove he can handle today's much faster ground but escapes a penalty and has very obvious claims. |

1st 3 |
31st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Three respectable efforts at about this trip but is prone to late mistakes and challenge petered out back over 2m5f at Hereford in December (first-time cheekpieces, now visored); needs to prove he can see the trip out. |
9/4 |

3rd 4 |
21st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Fluffed his lines at the final flight when worried out of the prize at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) penultimate and didn't find much off the bridle when filling the same berth (Navegaon Gate third) at Lingfield subsequently; 1lb higher in newly applied cheekpieces and entitled to be thereabouts. |

10st 3lb |
Regressive maiden; below market expectations the past twice, latterly when not looking to see out this sort of trip for the first time at Ffos Las last weekend; Karakoram is perhaps his yard's best chance. |
16/1 |

8th 11 |
5th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Lost out narrowly at Taunton (2m3f, soft) last March but not so good this winter and beaten nearly 30l when runner-up over 2m6f here on penultimate start; cheekpieces last two starts; another new trip today. |

Stays 2m3f on soft; hasn't gone on from two good runs when first back from break in October, winning over 2m at Chepstow then runner-up at Hereford, but is back down in grade and has more obvious claims than many. |

21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
16-race maiden; plummeting in the handicap; could be given a chance on several pieces of form from last season but not on what's been seen from her this term; cheekpieces go on. |
33/1 |
|
4th 9 |
31st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |

Thereabouts in staying handicap hurdles two years ago (soft/good) when much higher in the weights but slow to recapture form over hurdles and fences since back from an absence; something to prove for now. |

20th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Showed little until finishing 13l third in a Hereford mares handicap (2m3f, good) last month; couldn't kick on from there at Taunton (2m3f, good) latest; drops 2lb; not easy to have confidence. |
10/1 |
|
10th 6 |
21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Lightly raced; moderate form in first two handicaps but there was a lot more to like about her third to a dual subsequent winner and previous scorer at Hereford recently (2m3f, good); has scope for improvement off 2lb lower. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
5th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Showed some hurdling ability in France in 2021 but well beaten on all three British starts, the last twice in handicaps in the autumn; big leap of faith required to support her here. |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Well treated with Walkinthewoods on 2m form in early 2022; not plain sailing since but he found plenty when getting off the mark over 2m4f (soft; first-time visor replaced cheekpieces) back hurdling at Plumpton this month; another good run to come back up 4lb. |
5/2 |
|
1st 9 |
2nd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Form figures of 4PP4 in handicap hurdles so has to improve on those efforts; however, he was still travelling okay (having led) when departing four out on his chase debut at Ffos Las; the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) is a grey area, but has races in him off this mark. |

Showed little in a point and three novice hurdles in 2022; this is his first realistic chance but plenty of improvement is needed. |

21st Dec 2022 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |

22nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Vulnerable over fences since 2m win at Ffos Las last April (good; acts on soft); hasn't run over hurdles since 2020 but he returns to them at a very realistic level and has a more obvious chance than many. |
6/1 |
|
4th 8 |
5th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
C&D winner on good in April 2022; has weights turnaround with convincing winner Haldon Hill (2m5f, soft) in November and return to 2m should suit but has been vulnerable for a while; regular hood discarded. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 199y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Point winner who is 1-26 under rules but his win came over fences here (2m, good) in April and he returned from a short break with a close third back at this track (2m, soft) two weeks ago; on unchanged mark and he's a big player if he can repeat that form back up in trip. |

Triple-figure prices in maiden/novice hurdles and has trailed home in all of them; represents a leading yard, though, and is now tongue tied for her handicap debut; any market move would be encouraging. |
