17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Seeking a hat-trick having won novice handicap chases at Leicester (2m6f) and Market Rasen (3m) last month, both on good ground; bred to rate higher still (from a family that has served his trainer well; includes several multiple winners); appealing. |

16th Feb 2023 Good To Firm 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has shown a liking for this course, winning at 2m4f in November and going down fighting over C&D this month; up another 3lb but strong contender with proven ability to act on quick ground. |

2nd 1 |
1st Feb 2023 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who has had only three starts over fences and he won here (2m6f, good to firm) in November before being brought down at Ludlow (3-1 favourite) the following month; now steps back up in trip but he was strong at the finish on his penultimate run and should have more to offer in this sphere; key player. |

20th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Mixed in six runs under rules but kicked off her chase career with a staying-on third of ten at Leicester (2m6f, good; 25-1) 19 days ago; that was promising and she has possibilities if she can build on that. |
6/1 |

3rd 3 |
1st Feb 2023 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Promising third on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in May 2021 but she's had only three runs since and has struggled in all of them; still lightly raced but has plenty to prove on this switch to chasing. |

7yo whose career has contained a few interruptions; promising third on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter in May 2021 but she's been pulled up/tailed off on her two starts since; has something to prove. |

Regressive over hurdles but has done better since switched to chasing; won't mind the return to slower ground and goes on the shortlist. |

21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Sent straight over fences for handicap debut at Leicester (2m6f, good) and showed improved form to finish a 9l fifth behind Mixedwave; needs to take another step forward but that's entirely possible if he jumps better. |

5th 2 |
1st Feb 2023 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Pulled up in both Irish points and he's been well held in all six starts under rules, including three hurdle runs (1m7f/2m4f) for current yard; out of a useful chaser and now goes handicapping on this switch to fences but he needs a transformation. |

20th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won off 12lb higher over hurdles at Uttoxeter in March 2021 but she's 0-8 over fences and has been well held in her last three runs; needs to get back near her best chase form and her sole win came over 2m. |

1st Feb 2023 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-13 under rules but he returned to chasing with a creditable second in C&D handicap in December; this is a deeper race but he's on the same mark as last time and could be a big factor if he can back that up; his best hurdle form came on slow ground but last run was on good to firm. |

1st Feb 2023 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
8yo who has finished tailed off in all four hurdle runs including a Ffos Las handicap (3m, soft) in December; in good hands and still very lightly raced but she needs to show a lot more at this new discipline. |
25/1 |

7th 7 |
22nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Showed no significant promise in her three qualifying runs (1m7f-2m4f), the latest in November after a 23-month absence, but she makes her handicap debut off a lowly mark here and her encouraging bumper debut in 2020 offers a ray of hope. |

14th Nov 2022 Good 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |

Ran okay in a good-ground bumper and conditions were much softer when struggling in two runs over hurdles; probably best watched on her return from a long absence. |

1st Feb 2023 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Showed promise in sole bumper but was beaten 24l or more in her three hurdle runs and she kicked off her chase career with a tailed-off effort in Uttoxeter handicap (2m4f, heavy) on New Year's Eve; that was after a lengthy absence but she was laboured at a big price and others are preferred. |

Won his sole point but he's generally struggled in eight runs under rules and has been tailed off switched to fences (2m4f/3m1f) in last two starts; mark continues to fall but he makes no appeal. |
