11st 1lb |
Narrowly beat Doireann in handicap hurdle here (2m7f, good; off 4lb lower) six weeks ago, opening her account; in-form mare who has possibilities if proving as effective back over fences (third attempt). |

10st 11lb |
0-7 over hurdles; runner-up twice on heavy ground this winter (2m7f/3m1f) and a recent 2lb drop helps but she may not be ideally suited by today's quicker conditions. |

10st 11lb |
Seeking a hat-trick having won novice handicap chases at Leicester (2m6f) and Market Rasen (3m) last month, both on good ground; bred to rate higher still (from a family that has served his trainer well; includes several multiple winners); appealing. |

jumped slightly left throughout, pressed leader, led and made rest 2nd, pushed along and went clear before 2 out, shaken up and kept on strongly run-in |

17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Seemingly unsuited by heavy ground on penultimate start; that is flanked by wins over hurdles and fences, latest in comfortable fashion at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; chase debut); unexposed in this sphere and should be as effective back at 3m; respected. |

17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Sole maiden in the field but is suited by Fakenham; close second in two handicap hurdles here (2m7f, good/good to soft) this season, beaten short head by Brandisova two starts ago; return to this venue looks a plus on chase debut; showed promise in point; could go well. |
7/1 |
6th 6 |
20th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Placed on six of her ten career starts, including twice since wind surgery; slightly outpaced and short of room at a crucial stage before rallying determinedly to go under by a short-head at Fakenham (2m7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) latest; compensation could await despite the 3lb higher mark. |
4/1 |
2nd 4 |
2nd Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Ran as though something was amiss at Plumpton one month ago and needs to put that behind her but was 23l clear of the third when close second over C&D (good to soft) in November and is only 2lb higher today; sports first-time cheekpieces. |

17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
In good form last month, winning here (2m5f, good) then runner-up twice at Leicester (2m4f/2m6f); disappointing favourite at Huntingdon 12 days ago but the February performances give him a fighting chance. |
5/1 |
3rd 3 |
5th Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Improved form of late, opening his chase account at Fakenham (2m5f, good) then runner-up twice at Leicester; the latest effort came five days ago; sound chance off same mark. |
7/2 |
2nd 6 |
28th Feb 2023 Good To Firm 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Too determined for his rivals when winning at Fakenham this month (2m5f, good) and was unfortunate to catch C'est Quelqu'un on a good day over 2m4f here 12 days ago; has a slight query about this extra distance on a stiff track but is at least in good heart. |
