17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Finished in front of Us And Them, who admittedly paid for doing too much in the lead, at Leicester but was a below-par favourite in his bid to win that race for the second year running; 3-6 at claiming/selling level overall and could easily bounce back; has won over C&D. |

1st Feb 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Impossible to knock his Leicester record (2-3; 2m-2m4f) and he took a stronger version of this claiming contest last year (in first-time cheekpieces); proved wellbeing with a recent Market Rasen selling handicap win (2m, good to soft); looks the one to beat. |

17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful on Flat; successful four times over hurdles (on good/soft) this term, mostly in handicaps (including over C&D); three substandard efforts since last win but looks one of the main players now switched to claiming level; blinkered for first time in this sphere. |

3rd 4 |
17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Useful when trained in Ireland; terrible completion record (fences/hurdles) for current yard until he got round in a Leicester claimer last month, tiring after doing too much up front (finished behind Weebill); may improve on that effort granted an economical journey. |
5/1 |

4th 1 |
1st Feb 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Failed to complete on all five starts since leaving Joseph O'Brien and has been pulled up on his last three starts; that said, he has been contesting stronger races (hurdles and fences) and does come out top on official BHA ratings; needs a revival dropping back into a claimer. |

11st 11lb |
Clear peak form when winning twice over 2m4f at Market Rasen (good/good to soft); something was possibly amiss there (3m) last time; possibilities on his best figures but has something to prove dropped back to 2m on this tight track. |

Hot favourite for an Irish bumper two years ago when finishing fourth; absent since and best watched on British/hurdling debut. |

Beaten favourite (weakened into modest fourth) in 2m3f bumper at Tipperary two years ago on sole Irish start; evidently thought capable of better; follow the market signals on return to action. |

Scored over hurdles two years ago but not seen in this sphere since a disappointing effort later in 2021; soundly beaten in AW Flat event (back from absence) last month; may be sharper for that run, however. |
