24th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 51y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won a 2m3f Carlisle novice handicap hurdle in March (soft) but he came in only ninth in similar company at Kelso (2m7f, good); still early days and returning to softer ground may help on chase debut. |

Opened his account in 2m3f Carlisle novice handicap hurdle but he came in only ninth in similar company at Kelso (2m7f) 30 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

11st 1lb |
First run beyond 2m1f when prevailing narrowly over 2m3f at Carlisle (soft) a month ago; only 3lb higher and this lightly raced 7yo may well improve again over this longer trip. |

23rd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hurdle winner who has had only two starts over fences and he raised his form to a new level when second of 18 in a similar handicap at Warwick (3m1f, soft) two weeks ago; up 5lb but he pulled well clear of the third last time and is still unexposed as a stayer; key player. |

Yet to win but ran to best over C&D on reappearance when just touched off by a previous scorer (first three clear); up 2lb but couldn't rule out. |

Maiden; steadily improving and only collared near the finish when third at Carlisle last month; tongue-strap worn then is retained and strong candidate off 2lb higher, with Sean Bowen booked. |

8th Oct 2023 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m6f, good) in May and seemed to find 3m1f too far there next time; also effective on soft ground; needs to perform better than when soundly beaten sixth behind Secret Secret at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) last time but not ruled out in view of his earlier form. |

28th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Off the mark over C&D in May (well backed) and seemed to find extended 3m1f too far when third here next time; should again run well but this is a much hotter contest. |

30th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-8 since winning a bumper on debut in 2019 but he's run some reasonable races this year (2m4f-2m6f, soft/heavy), following a long absence, and arrives in much better form than the majority of these; respected. |
5/2 |

5th 2 |
19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Soft-ground bumper winner in 2019; 0-6 over hurdles but has shown some promise in two handicaps since returning from long absence; not without a chance. |

10th Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |

Soft-ground bumper winner in 2019; 0-6 over hurdles but has shown some promise in two handicaps since returning from long absence, fifth at Newcastle (2m6f, soft) latest; improvement is possible; not without a chance. |

22nd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Sole win came over C&D (2m4f, soft) in April (front pair 3l clear) and also produced a career best when runner-up over C&D on her return to action last month; well below that level at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) latest but has the ability to have a big say back here, if able to shrug off that effort. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Dual Flat winner; 0-8 over hurdles but does have placed form and stays further than this, which might not be a bad thing on the ground (which he handles); modest run on the AW two weeks ago reduces appeal, though. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Prolific Flat-racer with nine wins to his name, eight on the AW; still unexposed over hurdles and it wasn't a bad handicap debut at Huntingdon two months ago (2m3f, good to soft). |
13/2 |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Flat Flat-racer with nine wins on his CV; still unexposed over hurdles but was just a respectable fifth on recent handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft) and younger rivals are more persuasive here. |
20/1 |
|
5th 15 |
13th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Nine Flat wins (eight on AW); made a belated return to hurdling (0-3) in November and latest fourth was in a claimer; others appeal more. |
33/1 |
