8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Three Irish point wins this winter and left last season's efforts under rules behind when 9l second in a C&D novice (heavy) 13 days ago; he'll likely need to step up on that form if he's to seriously threaten some of the previous hurdle winners in this line-up. |

2nd 3 |
26th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Down the field in bumpers and a maiden hurdle in winter 2021-22 but he's been a different proposition in Irish points this season, winning three times (3m, yielding/soft); no surprise to see a good run on stable debut. |

29th May 2023 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Irish point winner; early days as a hurdler and two satisfactory races in handicaps, most recently when fourth at Kelso; trainer does well here and with the prospect of further improvement, this 6yo is shortlisted. |

11st 5lb |
Fourth in a hunter chase on his final run for Gordon Elliott; had two visits to Carlisle for this yard, running better the second time when beaten 12l into third in a five-runner novice (2m3f, heavy); still lightly raced and could improve for going into handicaps. |

16th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Unexposed 6yo who was placed on recent handicap debut at Perth (3m, good to soft); might well have gone close there had she not persistently hung left in the home straight; should cope with today's drop back in trip and may have a bigger run in her on this left-handed track. |
7/1 |
3rd 2 |
26th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Ran well in a bumper and in one of her three runs over hurdles when beaten about 12l in a 2m4f novice at Ayr; does look on a high enough mark for her handicap debut even on that form. |
12/1 |
4th 6 |
26th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Fair efforts on two of her three starts, most recently fifth on hurdle debut in a mares' novice at Ayr (2m4f, good); improvement is possible but necessary if she's to make an impact here. |

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

Pulled up at huge odds in two maiden hurdles here last month (2m4f/2m3f); makes no appeal. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Improved upon his bumper form when upped in trip and winning on hurdle debut at Ayr (2m3f, soft) in November; absent since but he should have more to offer and could be the chief threat to Grain d'Oudairies. |

Improved upon his bumper form when upped in trip and winning on hurdle debut at Ayr (2m3f, soft) last November; absent since but he could have more to offer and is respected under a 7lb penalty. |
