22nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Has quickly made into a better chaser than hurdler, notching his second win over fences in handicap at Haydock (2m4f, soft; made all) in March; may have more in the tank but he faces a higher calibre of rival today if turning out again after his handicap win here yesterday. |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Comfortable win at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in January on second chase start and, after a good second here (2m, good to soft), he made all at Haydock (2m4f, soft) last month; it was just a small field last time but he did it readily and this progressive 7yo could have more left in the tank. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Back to form to win at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in January on second chase start and good second of four at Ayr (2m, good to soft) since; won a 2m4f novice hurdle last season and is open to further improvement over fences. |

22nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
2-5 over hurdles and has the same strike-rate as a chaser, with both his wins in this discipline coming at Kelso (2m7f; soft/good); ran perfectly well at Haydock over a trip (2m4f) shy of his best and makes plenty of each-way appeal. |

2nd 4 |
22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Progressive over hurdles last season with wins at 2m6f/2m3f (soft) and he made it 2-4 over fences this term when scoring at Kelso (2m7f, good) last month; had just a neck to spare last time and further improvement is needed in this warm little race, but he could have more left in the tank. |
4/1 |

1st 3 |
17th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Two-time hurdle winner (including here) who built on the promise of his C&D chase debut (good to soft) when winning over C&D (soft) in December; soundly beaten over C&D (heavy) later that month but has had a 50-day break and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a good run. |

29th May 2023 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Won three chases in a row during the winter and remained in good form until last month but needs to bounce back from a duff effort at Worcester three weeks ago and would appeal more on slower ground. |
16/1 |

8th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won three in a row over fences during the winter and is seemingly still in good form; kept on well for second at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) last month and seems versatile regarding trip/ground; probably in the mix again. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won on stable/chase debut at Bangor (3m, heavy) last November and again had plenty in hand at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in January; has shot up the weights and tackles a different distance today, but there's every chance he'll be fine at the shorter trip and could still be ahead of the handicapper. |

1st 5 |
30th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Point/hurdle winner who took very well to chasing at Bangor (3m, heavy; scored easily) two months ago when making debut for David Pipe and wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained); should progress further over fences and commands respect despite 10lb rise. |
13/8 |
