Won three times over fences last season and the latest was off 6lb higher; however, has something to prove now having been off colour in both disciplines since returning from a lengthy break. |

10st 11lb |
Did well over fences last season, winning three times; below form here last month, after a layoff, but might have needed that outing and usual cheekpieces are refitted for this bid to exploit his lower hurdle mark. |

20th May 2023 Good 3m 0f 5y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Only chase win came at 2m and hasn't tackled further than 2m4f over fences; keeping on when third at Fontwell last month (2m3f+) so possible he will enjoy this first attempt at 3m; claims if he does. |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
Made a successful switch to fences at Ludlow (2m, good) in November 2021 but he's not gone on from that in only five runs since; now 3lb lower than for his chase win but was a well-held third of three at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) in his final run last year and has something to prove after another break. |

30th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has been running reasonably and didn't seem to stay 2m7f at Worcester latest, having held every chance; tricky customer but ought to be involved, especially off current mark (has won off 9lb higher). |
5/1 |

4th 8 |
27th Jul 2023 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Tricky customer whose two wins came early in 2022; showed enough in two Fontwell outings in the spring to warrant consideration if he stays this trip; no ground problems. |

10th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Looked badly out of sorts for most of last season but seemed to have turned a corner when very respectable fourth here (2m3f, good) last month and, if that run can be built upon, he's still well handicapped. |

21st May 2023 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Became very disappointing over hurdles last season and, after running well to a point, faded out of contention on last month's chasing debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good; first-time blinkers; well backed); today's drop back in trip could be a good move but his overall profile is not convincing. |
4/1 |

5th 4 |
21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won a juvenile hurdle here (2m1f, good to soft) in October 2021 but he's failed to get competitive this season and has been beaten 34l or more in his last three starts; has dropped a long way in the weights but he needs a major revival on this switch to chasing; first-time blinkers. |
10/1 |

9th 11 |
6th Mar 2023 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won a juvenile hurdle at Fontwell in October 2021 and has dropped down the weights, but he's failed to get competitive in his seven runs this season, with and without cheekpieces, and it's hard to be confident today. |

10th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Soundly beaten on all three starts since returning from long absence this year, most recently when last of six here (2m3f, good) on recent return to chasing; effectively only 3lb lower from out of the weights today; revival needed. |
20/1 |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won over hurdles for Rebecca Curtis in 2020 but became disappointing for that yard and, after a long layoff, he's struggled here in both runs for new yard this spring; cheekpieces return but he's failed to complete in his three previous runs over fences and has a lot to prove back in this sphere. |

4th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |

Won over hurdles for Rebecca Curtis in 2020 but became disappointing for that yard and, following a long layoff, struggled here (3m2f, heavy) on last month's stable debut; needs to have taken significant benefit from that recent outing. |

Won over fences here (2m, good) in June 2023 but was well beaten here on both starts this autumn (2m4f hurdle/3m chase); still has stamina to prove over this sort of trip and is 3lb wrong today; others preferred. |

Three-time chase winner, most recently when holding on well at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in May; bumped into a massive improver when well-held second at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good; first-time binkers) this month; ought to be on the premises again here. |
