9th Apr 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Things seemed to click when he scored at Lingfield (2m7f, good) in February but he was soundly beaten in a follow-up bid at Wincanton (odds-on) three weeks later; handles soft ground and dangerous if bouncing back. |

20th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Showed some promise in points and over hurdles; well held in his first two chase starts but after wind surgery he was a good second with equipment added at Ffos Las (3m1f, soft) last month; that was behind a major improver and he's an interesting contender off an unchanged mark. |

12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner in early 2022; just a respectable fifth behind Doyens De Ante at Chepstow 12 days ago but has claims if judged on his very close second off today's mark at Lingfield (2m7f, good) in February. |

26th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Irish point winner; modest hurdler and limitations already looking exposed as a chaser, for all that she ran better in the cheekpieces at Lingfield (2m7f, good); perhaps vulnerable once more. |

20th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |

Irish point winner but she's yet to finish placed under rules and has struggled switched to fences (tailed off/pulled up) in her last two runs; dropped another 5lb but has plenty to prove with cheekpieces now tried. |

Won over hurdles on seasonal debut at Bangor (2m7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in November and ran well for a long way when fifth on last month's chasing debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good; first-time blinkers); didn't look to be going that well before falling at Ffos Las recently but still has low mileage and enters calculations; cheekpieces back on today. |

Returned after wind surgery with a hurdle win at Bangor (2m7f, soft; off 5lb lower) in November but he failed to back that up when tailed off at Ffos Las last month; still lightly raced but has something to prove again on this switch to fences; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

20th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won over hurdles (3m, good) in Ireland in May 2021 but he's struggled over fences for new yard this season and he unseated early 14 days ago; now 1-23 and it's not hard to look elsewhere. |

Came good over fences at second attempt, at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day, and was placed over C&D (soft) three weeks later; didn't fire at Lingfield last month but could still have more to offer if aided by first-time cheekpieces today. |

20th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |

Unexposed chaser who got off the mark in a Huntingdon handicap (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day and was a good third at Hereford (2m5f, soft) last month; looks open to more progress in this sphere and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; key player. |

Last win was off 14lb higher at Carlisle (3m, soft) but that was almost two years ago; has form figures of P9PP0 in his last five runs including a tailed-off effort back at Carlisle recently and can only be watched. |

Two chase wins in 2021; lightly raced since but there were welcome signs of a revival when third at Hereford (2m7f, good) in December; returns after another break but he's on same mark as last time and is not ruled out; both wins have come on good ground. |

Made the frame in three consecutive chases when fitted with cheekpieces at start of this year and is a strong contender here if judged on those exploits but looked out of sorts when pulled up on last two appearances and it's hard to know what to expect from him today. |

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser at up to 3m2f and he was pulled up in this sphere at Plumpton (2m3f, soft; 50-1) on his stable debut in December; out of the weights again and he's easy to oppose. |

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser for Diana Grissell last term; he returns after seven months off for his new yard from 9lb out of the handicap so others are preferred. |
