Won a soft-ground Flat seller in May but was safely held when back over hurdles in June; returns from 161-day break; not the percentage call. |

7th Sep 2023 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who was 40-1 second in Leicester seller in May and she's one to watch in the betting on her stable debut and first run for 105 days; however, she was well beaten on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) on her final run for Louise Allan and others have less to prove. |
33/1 |

17th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Seemed to raise her game with 40-1 second in a C&D seller (soft) last month but she was very laboured when switched to a handicap at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) last time; takes a big drop back in trip but she's now 0-8 and others are more convincing. |

29th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple turf winner, most recently in 2021; 0-11 on AW but has dropped a long way in the weights since the autumn and he's been running well enough over 1m4f of late to think he shouldn't be far away. |
8/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
2nd Apr 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Flat turf/hurdles winner who is 0-10 on the AW, but a fair effort when a staying-on third of nine in a 0-50 classified event over C&D last month; each-way possibilities again. |

22nd May 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won selling hurdle on final run for Paul Nicholls (November 2021) and ran to a similar level on stable debut two weeks later; absent for 534 days prior to a modest run in a seller on the Flat nine days ago; that may have sharpened him up but he's still not easy to recommend. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
13th May 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 179y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Hasn't run on the Flat since 2019 and hasn't been seen since being turned over as favourite in a claiming hurdle 18 months ago; has run well on this sort of ground, though, and Ben Curtis is a positive booking. |

13th May 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 179y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Goes beyond an extended 1m1f for the first time and stamina wouldn't be assured on pedigree; he'd need to improve for the stiffer test too. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (5) |
15th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made his debut in January and has shown only modest form in four starts on the AW, including on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last month; gelded since last seen and needs the switch to turf and application of cheekpieces to make a difference. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (7) |
18th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't improve his RPR when fourth at Chelmsford three weeks ago (1m) but it was a run that hinted there was a bigger effort around the corner; trip should suit and he's not ruled out, for all the handicapper hasn't taken any chances. |

13th May 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 179y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Didn't live up to early expectations last year and has run poorly in two starts back, having been gelded; will need to settle better now going beyond an extended 1m for the first time. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
24th Apr 2023 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Displayed ability last summer and heavy ground may not have suited on nursery debut last October; failed to settle on last month's reappearance on AW and he's better than that, but he has to leave that run well behind. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (4) |
30th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Modest form at best on turf last year and, although gelded after last run in October, he'll have to improve to win this on AW debut/reappearance. |

13th May 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 179y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Failed to win on the Flat for Ed Walker and has had plenty of chances in handicap hurdles for this yard; lacks consistency but he has less to prove than the rest of these back from a short break. |
6/1 |
|
9th 6 |
23rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
15-race maiden but his recent placed efforts at Lingfield (2m3f) and Hereford (2m5f; soft for both) would be his best yet; just a concern that he's been below par in his previous staying handicaps (3m/3m2f). |
6/1 |

2nd 1 |
21st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to win (0-14) but, despite jumping right on occasions, ran his best race to date when fitted with a visor at Lingfield (2m3f, soft; third with Roger Rarebit in second) recently; should appreciate this extra yardage and, from an unchanged mark, enters calculations. |

12th Dec 2023 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Formerly a useful hurdler/chaser in Ireland but has plummeted down the weights and been very disappointing for new stable this year; sports refitted tongue-tie and cheekpieces today; needs to stop the rot. |

Formerly a useful hurdler/chaser in Ireland but plummeted down the weights and was very disappointing for new stable in first half of this year; needs to have been revitalised by six-month break. |

22nd May 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

7th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Seemed to be lit up by first-time blinkers (retained today) at Worcester 12 days ago, racing clear but folding late on; that was at least a step in the right direction but not enough to make her of great interest in this. |
12/1 |

5th 6 |
26th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won by 23l on stable/hurdle debut at Hexham (2m, good) last June but was expensive to follow afterwards and has been pulled up on her last three appearances; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers here; leap of faith required to support her at present. |
14/1 |

6 (7) |
13th May 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 179y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Dual Flat winner in France, both on slow ground, who's completely lost the plot over hurdles since a Hexham win last summer (pulled up on her last three runs, all in cheekpieces); would want to see some support back from a short break. |
