Ran out a clearcut winner at Doncaster (3m, good) but he reminded us of his inconsistency when failing to give his running at Wincanton; goes without Ned Fox's claim here and he'll need to be right on it. |

Not that predictable but capable on his day as he showed when a clearcut winner at Doncaster (3m, good); clear claims off 5lb higher with Ned Fox again on board, but wouldn't want the ground any easier than good to soft. |

Two wins last season, at Ayr in January (3m, soft) and on final start at Kelso in April (2m7f, soft); off since and although these conditions suit, is likely to need the run after a break. |

11st 11lb |
Teenager who was placed on two of first five starts for Charlie Longsdon, more recently when third off 2lb higher at Doncaster (3m, good) last month; on the retreat when falling at Newbury last time but will be fine over today's trip and has a pretty good record at Cheltenham; shortlisted. |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 3 |

Couple of respectable efforts this season, the latest when 6l away over 3m at Doncaster; looks to have nothing in hand of his current mark but brings each-way claims. |

3rd Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |

13yo who was soundly beaten at Wincanton last month but that was a 0-135 and he's back down in grade here; good second at Catterick (3m1f, soft) two starts ago on his second stable start and he's also effective on good ground; could have a part to play. |

9th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two hurdle wins and although a maiden over fences he's shown useful form at times, most recently when chasing home an improver at Market Rasen last February (3m, good to soft; acts well on soft); respectable fourth back from break at Doncaster and easing ground a plus. |
10/1 |

3rd Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |

0-8 over fences with an in-and-out profile, and he's been absent since being pulled up at Fakenham last April; however, he's had wind surgery since (his third such operation) and has run well after an absence in the past; on a handy mark and capable of a bold show. |

Soft ground and the sharp track were nominated as excuses when he was pulled up at Catterick last time (albeit he's won on soft in the past); won at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in December on second start back from a long absence and he's a major player if rediscovering that form. |

16th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |

In good form in December after a long absence, winning at Ayr (3m, good to soft) on his second start back; the soft ground and sharp track were nominated as excuses when he was pulled up at Catterick last time (albeit he's won on soft in the past) but it's hard to be confident on the back of that. |

11st 13lb |
Looked as good as ever when beating Special Acceptance to win Haydock veterans' chase (3m1f, good to soft) in April but has become unreliable and was under pressure before unseating rider at third-last fence at Perth in September; not an easy one to predict. |

11th Sep 2023 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |

Recorded his third chase win when scoring at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) in April but he's not easy to predict and was pulled up behind Saint Arvans over C&D last time; was reported to have had an irregular heartbeat in a post-race examination and he needs to bounce back after a short break. |

27th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Well handicapped on his best 2020-21 form and he won five points in the first third of last year; finished tailed off back in a handicap at Doncaster (3m) but he ran well for a long way and may have needed that run after a long time out; whether he's quick enough for this trip these days remains to be seen. |

3rd Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |

This is his first run since last April and it remains to be seen how much ability this 12yo retains; however, he's well handicapped on his best 2020-21 form and he won five point-to-points in the first third of last year; no surprise to see a big run, especially if strong in the betting. |

Without a win since October 2020 and he struggled for form for the most part last year; however, he's well treated on past exploits and has travelled from Ireland to race today; one to watch in the betting. |

Placed off 8lb higher at Newton Abbot (2m5f, soft) in October and will also be suited by today's faster ground but has looked badly out of sorts since and needs to turn things around. |

Won over C&D last season and was placed off 5lb higher at Newton Abbot (2m5f, soft) in October after an absence, but his form nosedived towards the end of last year and he needs to have been refreshed by another break. |
