19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Beaten when unseating two out on his debut in October; better effort when third of 15 at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) in January; open to further progress and he's one of the likelier types. |

12-1 for 15-runner maiden at Hereford (2m3f, good) in October but he was way off the pace when unseating two out. |

2nd 1 |
19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
The winner of a bumper and a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las on his first two starts; upped to Grade 1 company at Sandown ten weeks ago when he was a very creditable second to Tahmuras in the Tolworth, fourth jumping the last but sticking on well; ready for today's extra yardage and he should be hard to beat in this less-demanding company. |

Sprang a 25-1 surprise when finishing well to lead close home on his bumper debut here (2m, good to soft) in February; beat a useful dual subsequent hurdle winner in that race and he's respected on his switch to this sphere. |

Nothing to write home about in four bumpers or two novice hurdles for Ben Lund; not easy to fancy on his stable debut. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |

Promise in points; has also hinted at ability in bumpers/hurdles but unlikely to reveal his full potential until handicapping over further. |
12/1 |

21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

took keen hold, led, headed and prominent after 2nd, not fluent but led again 4th, jumped right 4 out, ridden and headed before 2 out, soon weakened |

7th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Showed some ability in British point and also on his bumper debut at Exeter, but he's since been well beaten at Chepstow; others make greater appeal than this hurdling newcomer. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |

Placed in her first two bumpers but she ran poorly at Uttoxeter 11 weeks ago; should appreciate this trip now hurdling. |

31st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Placed in both starts, having finished 6l third at Warwick (heavy) then 8l second at Ffos Las (soft); gives the impression she's crying out for further than 2m but again has place possibilities. |

Bred to have a future over obstacles but she needs to leave her bumper/C&D hurdle efforts well behind her. |

Minor promise in a bumper here in December; well beaten on his hurdle debut at Fontwell six weeks ago (2m1f, good); likelihood is that he's a longer-term prospect. |

Winning pointer who was placed in Chepstow bumper (good to soft) on rules debut in November; well beaten when switched to hurdling at Hereford (2m3f, soft) last month, though, and needs to take big step forward here. |

Placed in a Wincanton bumper on debut (RPR 96; sent off 3-1 third favourite) in November; 80-1 and tailed off over C&D on hurdle debut 12 weeks ago; has since left Anthony Honeyball (same owner); best watched. |

Half-brother to useful chaser Oscar Elite but he was sent off at 16-1 and beaten 199l in a Southwell bumper seven weeks ago; not easily recommended on that evidence. |

Half-brother to smart hurdler/chaser Oscar Elite but jockey bookings would suggest that Cawthorne Banker is the yard's main hope on this occasion. |
