22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won an Irish maiden point (3m, yielding to soft) in November 2021 and stayed on well to score on rules debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) last November; turned over when 5-6 in novice at Catterick (3m1f, heavy) in January but he kept on and it was probably better form; visored first time; should bring potential to this handicap debut. |

12th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won an Irish maiden point (3m, yielding to soft) in November 2021 on his fourth start and he stayed on well to score on his rules debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) last November; there can be optimism he'll be suited by this step up in trip and he's a strong contender under a 7lb penalty. |

25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made it fourth-time lucky in Irish points when scoring on soft ground last November and he was bought for £36,000 the following month; out of a 2m4f hurdle winner and he's an interesting contender on his rules/stable debut. |

9th Apr 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Has more than enough ability to win races and has gone close on his last two starts, proving his stamina for 3m when second of six at Haydock (soft) 18 days ago; cheekpieces now added; unlikely to be far away. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Disappointing favourite at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) on penultimate start; has shown improved form over about 2m4f in his other two runs this season, short-headed at Wetherby (soft) on latest; needs to prove his stamina but otherwise looks a player on handicap debut. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who has won a point and 2m4f novice hurdle; ran in chases on his three starts since wind surgery and fell in two; fair third of four at Ayr (3m, soft) in between, not 100% proving his stamina; tongue tied first time; return to hurdling may well help. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won on handicap debut at Ayr (2m5f, heavy) and followed up at Bangor (2m7f, good to soft); it was by just a head last time but the form is solid and he has more in the tank; now tongue tied first time; up 4lb but may well complete the hat-trick. |

17th Mar 2023 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on handicap debut at Ayr (2m5f, heavy) and followed up at Bangor (2m7f, good to soft); unraced on good ground; his latest form is working out well and this progressive 6yo is respected in his hat-trick bid. |

27th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Well treated judged on his two wins (2m/2m3f) as a novice last season but he's yet to hit top gear this term; brought down early on at Chepstow two weeks ago but that was after a heavy defeat at Haydock and he needs a major revival back at this trip. |

10th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual winner as a novice last season but yet to hit top gear this term; weakened out of contention rather tamely when tried in cheekpieces at Haydock (3m, soft) last month; drops back in trip with blinkers fitted here. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 |
22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won a 2m3f maiden and 2m novice contest (soft) early last year; makes appeal on that form but it's not been repeated in handicaps; upped to 2m7f last time but he was a remote third of six; cheekpieces are now added. |

10st 13lb |
Confirmed himself a progressive young stayer when nicely on top in the finish at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) three weeks ago, for which he's gone up 7lb; open to further progress and makes the shortlist. |

Runner-up both starts (one on soft) before winning a five-runner race at Aintree (3m) on handicap debut; fair fourth of 11 when favourite at Exeter (2m7f, again good to soft) after two-month break; needs to resume improvement and to prove himself on soft or heavy but he looks a thorough stayer. |
