22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
With the cheekpieces off and having dropped down the weights, he returned to form with a creditable third at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month; his rules wins have come on soft/heavy ground and he's a strong contender if producing another good performance here. |

Very useful chaser at his best but well beaten on both outings this season, more recently when switched back to hurdling ten days ago (first-time tongue-tie); comes here with quite a bit to prove; cheekpieces left off today. |

Irish maiden hurdle winner who was runner-up in novice hurdles last spring on his first two starts for this yard; the form of his stable is a positive but he's struggled on both runs this season; major turnaround needed. |

17th Mar 2023 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |

Fairly useful ex-Irish 2m winner but he's failed to fire in two runs for current yard this term, tongue tied when only seventh in 2m4f Wetherby handicap hurdle in January; needs to bounce back. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won Wexford bumper (2m2f, yielding) in March 2021 and promising second on hurdle/stable debut that October (2m, good to soft); returned from long absence with fair third at Chepstow (2m, soft) in January and this unexposed handicap newcomer is open to plenty of improvement; one to consider. |

Won bumper at Wexford (2m2f, yielding) in March 2021 and, after wind surgery, second of 13 in a novice hurdle at Bangor (2m, good to soft; tongue tied) that October; off since but has shown enough to be in serious calculations. |

Has dropped to an attractive mark but this 9yo was regressive on the Flat last year and tailed off at Taunton in December when back over hurdles; needs to get back on track. |

Creditable third of eight to a subsequent Cheltenham Festival winner at Kempton (2m5f, soft) when last seen over hurdles on Boxing Day; didn't make much of an impact in four subsequent runs on the Flat but this may be more suitable and he is not ruled out. |

Form has dipped in last two appearances, following a consistent spell, and perhaps age is catching up with this veteran; others preferred. |

22nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Veteran with a fine record at Ayr, a close third in this race last year off today's mark; might have needed the run after a winter break when fifth of ten at Haydock last month; should go well with that behind him. |
9/1 |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
11yo who was below par at Carlisle last October last time out but may have needed that run and he returns with his stable in excellent form; he was running really well last February-May (2m3f-3m, good to soft/soft) and he's a player if recapturing that form. |

Won twice at Carlisle last March and running well in defeat towards the end of last year; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game the last twice and needs something extra here. |

4th Mar 2023 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |

Not quite at best when fifth at regular haunt Carlisle last month but was placed on consecutive appearances at end of last year (2m1f/2m2f) and is very versatile regarding ground; each-way claims at least. |

Won over hurdles at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in January and good second over fences at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in February; however, he's failed to fire over fences/hurdles the last twice and has to get back on track. |

Back to form when winning over hurdles at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in January and creditable second over fences at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) next time; however, he was pulled up in a chase at Doncaster three weeks ago and needs to bounce back. |

Had a near miss off this mark over hurdles at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in February but he's struggled in both runs since; his last hurdle win came at this track but he has something to prove at this new discipline. |

6th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
May not have stayed 2m3f in the mud on his most recent outing and he comes into the reckoning on his close second to Applaus at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) the time before; could have a say. |
9/1 |

8th 4 |
22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |

Unproven at this trip and he could do with settling better than at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) last month, but he was a close second behind Applaus on that occasion and could be in the mix if seeing out the distance. |

Durable 11yo with seven wins to his name, the latest at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in February; good second back at that track last month but he's not easy to predict and was well held here last week; comes with risks attached and he's never won over this far. |

Two novice hurdle wins for Joseph O'Brien last year but he's struggled on his last three starts and a major turnaround is required. |
