1st 3 |
18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Should be right there on the form of an Ayr win last March (2m, soft) and a second there in December but a subsequent Kelso seventh was disappointing; probably not one to give up on in this company. |
9/1 |

6 |
10th Mar 2023 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
1-10 over hurdles; ought to have coped with the heavy ground when beaten 37l at Kelso in January and may find today's conditions quicker than ideal but ran big race in defeat here (2m, good to soft) on seasonal debut in December and could have a say if she takes well to fences. |
12/1 |

14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced for her age; sole win over 2m here last March (soft) and although she stays further she has ups and downs and was a long way adrift at Kelso last month; thereabouts on best form. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Maiden after 11 starts but the return to further didn't work out at Bangor last month and better claims on earlier form at this shorter trip, including when second of four at Leicester in December (good to soft), the winner having won both 2m starts since; solid chance. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 |
10th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
0-10 over hurdles but seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when second of four behind next-time-out winner at Leicester (1m7f, good to soft) in December; will be fine over today's longer trip and now tries blinkers; could have a say. |

3rd 4 |
18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Irish point winner who hasn't seemed much of a stayer over hurdles and is better off back at this trip, over which she won on handicap debut at Catterick in January (soft); wasn't obviously ahead of her mark there and is 3lb higher now but should be competitive at the right level. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Sole hurdle win came in 2019 but that was over C&D and was second to Starvoski in this race last year when 7lb higher; has had just three course starts and is in better form than many; should go well again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 9 |
1st Feb 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Dual-purpose performer who returned to hurdling with creditable second over C&D (good to soft) in December but she failed to repeat the form at Taunton last month; that took her record to 1-19 in this sphere and others look more likely. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Had form on very soft in France but best British run, when losing out late at Leicester in November, was on good to firm; found little in 2m handicaps on slower surfaces for this yard and may need the ground to dry out. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Plumpton winner three years ago who has been given a chance by the handicapper and although pulled up on return from a layoff in January the return to shorter will suit; not discarded despite being out of the weights. |
16/1 |

2nd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner over 2m on heavy ground nearly three years ago; on a lower mark now and her latest run, albeit in March, wasn't too shoddy; perhaps at her best over shorter. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unknown quantity at present as she had a very stiff task back hurdling last week after two modest chase runs, but she won this off a similar mark in 2022 (soft) in first-time cheekpieces and this headgear switch could suit; worth considering. |
9/2 |
|
6th 3 |
12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Well beaten over fences the last twice but good ground may not have suited last time and she's not ruled out now back on a slower surface over hurdles, off a mark just 1lb higher than when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last May on her latest attempt in this sphere. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 |
5th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Both hurdle wins on soft; encouraging return to fences when a close fourth at Ffos Las in November (2m) but was beaten a fair way out at Warwick since and has done nearly all her racing on testing surfaces. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Went close in Irish point last winter; has had few chances over hurdles but effort was short-lived on handicap debut at Ffos Las 13 days ago (2m5f, good) and needs much more for the return to 2m. |
20/1 |
|
10th 2 |
5th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Well beaten in 2m Uttoxeter maiden on seasonal/stable debut in January but was in contention for a place before last-flight fall over C&D (soft) just over a year ago and remains unexposed after only three hurdle starts; well worth a glance in the betting before today's handicap debut. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Not yet off the mark but had bits and pieces of Flat form, only just losing out at Ffos Las last August (1m6f, good to soft); modest hurdle form so far but goes handicapping with the chance of improvement. |
20/1 |

22nd Feb 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Showed only poor form on the Flat and she has been well held on both her hurdling starts too at Worcester and Uttoxeter; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Big prices and pulled up in both handicaps, over 1m7f at Leicester and 2m3f at Hereford; wind surgery since which may improve matters but has masses to prove as things stand from 3lb out of the weights |

5th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

25-1 and never really got competitive on handicap debut at Leicester (1m7f, good to soft) in December; moves back up in trip with hood fitted here; major improvement needed. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Very low-level form so far and while she should have more chance now handicapping she is so far out of the weights that she can't be considered well treated; now given a go in cheekpieces. |
40/1 |

7th 2 |
26th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

5th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
