26th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made the frame in two heavy-ground bumpers (one here) in early part of last year but has shown only minor promise over hurdles this season and needs to improve to pose a significant threat in this. |

Made the frame in two heavy-ground bumpers in early part of last year and bettered low-key hurdle debut when keeping-on fifth at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in October; however, faces a very tough task here. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Began hurdling career with two very promising runs at start of this year (2m) but was turned over at very short odds on next outing (2m2f) and underperformed when upped to 2m5f three weeks ago; needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces on today's handicap debut. |

3rd 2 |
26th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won soft-ground Sandown bumper last season and has made the frame on all three hurdling starts this term; turned over at very short odds when second of four here (2m2f, good) last month and moves up in trip with a point to prove, but his earlier form makes him a leading contender. |

10st 8lb |
Poor Cheltenham record was extended at the Festival last time; 3m at right-handed Ascot, on the other hand, produced four wins (two on good ground) from five attempts and his strong finish in Newbury's big 3m2f handicap in November catches the eye with regard to today's new trip; his stable has had a long dry spell recently (it ended on Thursday) but he's a strong candidate otherwise. |

11st 11lb |
Struggled last term on both previous Cheltenham runs (including in this), which is a worry; this winter's two wins came at favourite course Ascot (3m, good to soft/good) but he also ran well at Newbury in November and this progressive 7yo is climbing the weights only slowly; dangerous to rule out. |

Effectiveness of the blinkers debuted on last April's Hereford win off 1lb higher (2m5f, good to soft) quickly dissipated, and a record of 466 in today's returning visor doesn't quicken the pulse; overlooked. |

Registered his Hereford success in first-time blinkers; has totally failed to repeat that form since and doesn't look a solid option in the retained blinds. |

10th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Kept on from unlikely position to take 80-1 second here (2m3f, good) last month, his fourth start over hurdles; posed no threat to the clear winner and the value of the form is open to question but, nevertheless, there's a chance he can snatch another minor prize today. |
20/1 |

2nd 5 |
21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Showed promise in his second bumper in December 2020 but, after more than two years off, he's struggled at big prices in three hurdle runs (2m/2m5f) this year; easy to look elsewhere. |
