21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Goes up in trip and could do with settling better than when soundly beaten at Sandown (2m4f) last month; however, the heavy ground may have been too much and he was progressive there previously, with a win and a near-miss (both 2m4f on good to soft); his dam won at up to 3m and he could get back on track with a big performance for his top trainer. |

11st 0lb |
Improved form in novice handicaps over C&D (good to soft) last month, beating Twinjets then head second to Inneston; evidently well suited by this track and trip; one of three solid-looking contenders for Paul Nicholls and should go well again. |

Opened his account in similar event over C&D (good to soft; handicap debut) 12 days ago, reversing placings with a rival who had beaten him the time before; should improve further; solid claims. |

11st 11lb |
Comfortably justified favouritism in novice handicap over C&D (good to soft; off 9lb lower) two weeks ago on debut for Paul Nicholls and only second attempt over rules fences; unexposed at this trip and should improve further; acts on soft; respected. |

11st 8lb |
Dual bumper winner in spring 2022 and a three-time hurdle winner last season; heavy ground was an excuse on return and he then finished third on chase debut at Ascot (2m3f, soft) despite jumping out to the left on occasions; going left-handed makes sense on debut for Paul Nicholls. |

12st 0lb |
Beat a subsequently very useful type in sole Irish point (yielding to soft); won minor 2m5f hurdle (good) for this yard in May but his chase debut at Warwick didn't go to plan and he was pulled up after making a bad blunder four out; too soon to write off and the return to shorter may suit. |

Application of a tongue-strap saw him come to fruition over hurdles, finishing third in a Sandown handicap in February and winning a modest Fontwell maiden in May; starts chasing life on a good mark and this winner of his only start in Irish points is another to consider. |

Good to see him at least get round last time but he was still beneath his best in finishing a 10l third of four finishers at Wincanton (1m7f, good); others appeal more. |

Unexposed sort whose best effort came over 2m5f on heavy at Wetherby when last seen in early March; raised 6lb but may be capable of better this season. |

Kempton winner in first-time blinkers off an 8lb lower mark three months ago (made all) who should be happier back round an easy, right-handed track; it remains to be seen how two subsequent unseats have effected confidence however. |

Took well to first-time blinkers at Kempton (3m, soft), belatedly opening his account; beaten when unseating rider at Newbury (Class 3) since but this drop back in grade may suit; headgear retained. |
