27th May 2023 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Nine-time winner under both codes; his last success was off 3lb lower over hurdles at Market Rasen (1m7f, soft) in December but he's been generally disappointing since and was tailed off in the Chester Cup on his recent stable debut; has something to prove now switched to fences and he looks on a tough enough mark. |

14th 17 (11) |
12th May 2023 Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Unraced here; thrown in if judged on his AW form early last year but he then failed to beat a rival in his last four Flat starts (AW and turf); hurdling has since seen him in a much more positive light; changed hands and left Archie Watson since a good run in March when last seen. |
66/1 |

2nd 1 |
17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful on Flat; successful four times over hurdles (on good/soft) this term, mostly in handicaps (including over C&D); three substandard efforts since last win but looks one of the main players now switched to claiming level; blinkered for first time in this sphere. |

27th May 2023 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Dual bumper and triple hurdle winner; finished a 13l third of four on his chase debut at Warwick (2m, good) last month but that was a respectable effort, particularly as a bad mistake at the fifth-last held him back; should benefit from that experience and he's respected. |
7/4 |

3rd 2 |
1st May 2023 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
To be seen whether last month's fourth of 20 at Aintree (16.5f, soft) amounted to just an appreciation of the return to that venue (went close there last October); does start life over fences off 2lb lower, at least, and there's chasers in the immediate family (notably Black Thunder). |
100/30 |

4th 10 |
14th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Went close over 2m4f at this venue in October; nowhere near that form since (2m-2m5f) and returns here under something of a cloud; second run since wind surgery. |

3rd 3 |
27th May 2023 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
13-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in three of his four completed starts over fences including behind an improver at Ayr (2m, good to soft) last time; jumped more accurately in that race and he's in the mix off 1lb lower here. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up twice in a row over C&D (heavy/good to soft) and he was 10l ahead over C&D (good) last month when falling at the final fence; hit with a 7lb rise for that and he was well beaten at Carlisle a fortnight ago, but he made a bad mistake three out and this unexposed 6yo retains potential. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 |
8th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Unexposed chaser who has finished runner-up twice at Ayr (2m, heavy/good to soft) this year and he was 10l clear when falling at the final fence there (2m, good) last month; mark has gone up 7lb but he still looks feasibly treated and is a major player if he can put in a clear round. |

27th May 2023 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Eight-race maiden but he finished runner-up in his last four hurdle runs including a creditable effort in a Uttoxeter maiden (2m, good to soft) on his recent comeback after two years off; seems fairly versatile regarding ground and this 7yo is an interesting contender off what looks a fair mark on his chase debut. |
15/8 |

2nd 4 |
6th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Second three consecutive times over hurdles in spring 2021, most recently when going close in 14-runner Worcester handicap (2m4f, good); major player if in similar form here, but this is his first start for 709 days. |

27th May 2023 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Had a near miss off this mark over hurdles at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in February but he's struggled in both runs since; his last hurdle win came at this track but he has something to prove at this new discipline. |
16/1 |
|
10th 3 |
6th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
May not have stayed 2m3f in the mud on his most recent outing and he comes into the reckoning on his close second to Applaus at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) the time before; could have a say. |
9/1 |
|
8th 4 |
22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Unproven at this trip and he could do with settling better than at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) last month, but he was a close second behind Applaus on that occasion and could be in the mix if seeing out the distance. |
