All three chase wins in 2023, at 2m3f-2m5f (good and good to soft) so is on a losing run but she's been in good form on soft over the winter and the return to good ground will be appreciated; in the mix. |

Quickly lost his form after winning at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) in spring 2023 and has been pulled up on both appearances this season; drops back in trip with huge amount to prove; considered only if lively in betting. |

24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Safely held in her first two chases (2m3f/2m5f) but not without displaying some promise; now 5lb lower than when going close over hurdles in October and could plausibly have untapped potential over 3m+; not ruled out. |
14/1 |

5th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 199y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Ten-race maiden; close second over hurdles here (2m4f, good to soft) last October; creditable fourth here (3m) was easily the best of her three starts since; latest was chase debut, so she has more to prove in this sphere. |

Short-headed on his fifth attempt (yielding to soft) at Irish maiden points; modest form in Britain last term, switched from hurdles to fences for last two outings; needs improvement reappearing in first-time headgear. |

Short-headed last March on his fifth attempt at Irish maiden points; modest form in Britain this term, just 7-2 on latest start when switched from hurdles to fences for handicap at Catterick (1m7f); needs much better and goes back up in trip. |

10st 2lb |
300-1 for all three maiden hurdles and showed very little; 4lb out of the weights, as she is today, when 100-1 for her handicap/chase debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) nine days ago and beaten 37l; no form claims. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
10yo who has won three of his last five starts and he hit a personal best when swooping late at Hereford (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; a 3lb rise for that success looks fair and he's strongly respected in his hat-trick bid. |
11/4 |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |

Up there with his best form when scoring for a third time over fences at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) where he was 6l to the good at the line; up 6lb, so on a career-high mark, but he's probably the safest option. |

Returned to winning ways in the new visor at Taunton (2m7f, good) but whether he'll follow one good run with another is questionable and he's gone up 6lb. |

10st 9lb |
Heavy-ground maiden point winner; 0-11 under rules but went down by just a neck in handicap at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) on reappearance when having only his second chase start; failed to match that when favourite at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in the race won by Kingcormac. |

16th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |

Heavy-ground point winner who is 0-10 under rules but remains unexposed over fences; back in much better form at Lingfield (2m, good to soft; clear second) on seasonal debut when having only his second chase start and third run for new stable; shaped as if this step back up in distance will suit; could well go one better. |

1st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Well beaten on both hurdling starts for Neil Mulholland last season but returned from ten-month break with close second over fences at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago; still unexposed as a chaser and today's move back up in trip will suit; major player. |
