9th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Started off for George Baker with three good runs last spring, most notably when winning by 11l at Plumpton (3m1f, good); ought to cope if the ground turns soft here but has fitness to prove after 264-day absence. |

No match for easy winner when second at Plumpton this month, having refused to settle in first-time blinkers, but was first past the post in cheekpieces at Taunton (3m, good to soft; demoted to second) two starts ago and the cheekpieces are back on here; player if handling the forecast fast ground. |

Finally off the mark when taking a maiden point in March; 0-22 under rules; ran well when second (of four) at Fontwell on return to hurdles last month; winner well beaten since and this looks much more competitive. |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |

Won a point (3m, good) last month but that was after a sequence of non-completions and he has a record of 0-21 under rules; on reduced mark back over hurdles but he's well into the veteran stage and looks opposable in this competitive race. |

Ran quite well from the front when fourth at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) in December but this regressive 8yo is yet to add to his maiden hurdle win in spring 2021 and is not the percentage call; 1lb out of the handicap. |

Now 13lb lower than when placed in good-ground hurdle in the spring but was soundly beaten in two chases this autumn (2m7f/3m1f) and has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

7th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who is rated lower over fences after struggling in her first two attempts in late 2021; however, she gave it a right go on returning to this discipline over C&D three weeks ago when conceding the lead only late on (Shaw's Cross runner-up); this is a higher grade but she is entitled to a second look. |
13/2 |

3rd 4 |
18th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Struggled in two chases in late 2021 and has raced exclusively over hurdles since; scored off 5lb higher mark here (2m, soft) in March and might have needed last month's reappearance run but still looks risky on this switch back to fences; usual hood removed; cheekpieces remain. |

Two wins last October, including over C&D; not at his best in two outings this spring and should have done better back on good ground at Plumpton latest; cheekpieces (0-6 in them) back on. |

Long way behind Hello Sunshine here last month but soft ground has never suited; judged on his two wins (3m1f/3m2f, both under Niall Houlihan) last October, he comes firmly into the reckoning. |

10st 2lb |
Dual chase winner for Suzy Smith in 2021; returned from 881-day absence with heavy defeat over hurdles here (3m2f, good) for new stable three weeks ago but ran well to a point and may benefit from this drop back in trip; 2lb wrong but worth a second look. |

Dual chase winner in the spring of 2021 but he'd lost his form when last seen in November 2023; impossible to predict what this stable debut will produce but he's on a dangerous mark and the market should give firm indications. |

14th Apr 2023 Soft 3m 2f 202y Class 5 |

All three wins have been on good ground, the most recent over a similar trip at Stratford in 2021, when on this mark; achieved nothing on his only run since, at Fakenham (3m5f, soft) last month; has to prove he retains his ability but nicely treated if back to best. |

Off since August 2021 but connections have persevered; boasts strong credentials in today's context having powered home off today's mark in a Stratford 3m4f chase last time (good); big player if fully wound up. |

Seven hurdle wins but none since December 2020 and has tumbled a long way; well beaten on last month's stable debut (favourite) but much better when fourth at Southwell 16 days ago (in these aids); Sean Bowen booked and this 12yo might still have another hurrah in him. |

Well beaten in three novice hurdles last summer (100-1 each time); handicap debut after ten months off and a lot to prove but step up in trip should suit, on pedigree; probably needs a check in the betting. |

15th Nov 2022 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |

Won a maiden in hurdle in Ireland but that was over four years ago; the odd fair run earlier in the year and may come on for his recent return to action at Plumpton; others look stronger as he bids for his first chase win at the 21st attempt. |
