6th Nov 2023 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |

Game winner over Newton Abbot's 3m2f (good) and was running well when unseating late on at Southwell; handles most ground and is entitled to be in the mix. |

Recorded his fourth hurdle win when battling well at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good; 8-1) two weeks ago but that was a very narrow success and he's 3lb higher on this step back up in grade; has some work to do. |

Has her quirks but she's finished bang there in all four handicaps over hurdles at 3m+; only 2lb higher than for latest near miss at Newton Abbot and just a question of what she'll make of fences and cheekpieces. |

Lightly raced; went close at Ffos Las on her return from a long absence and went one better in a three-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good); just 2lb higher and may well have more to offer. |

14-race maiden but often thereabouts and seemed to try hard enough when going down by only 2l at Newton Abbot the final time (3m2f, soft); versatile tactically and unlikely to be far away. |

11st 12lb |
Won readily by 11l at Worcester (2m7f, good) in July and has remained in good form since, losing out only by a nose at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last month; needs to prove he's effective on soft ground, though. |

Won readily by 11l at Worcester (2m7f, good) in July and has posted two good efforts in defeat at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) since; also suited by this C&D and ought to make his presence felt again; handles good to soft ground but unproven on anything slower. |

19th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Winning hurdler who has finished runner-up in both chase runs and might have won at Southwell last time (2m4f, good) but for a late mistake; the cheekpieces tried there appeared to work; soft ground would temper enthusiasm. |

3rd Oct 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Opened hurdling account with hard-fought success at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July, after a break, and made good start to chasing career when second at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last month; can pose a threat if the addition of cheekpieces has any positive effect. |

13-race maiden; often attracts good market support but weakened quickly when joint-favourite for chasing debut at Stratford (2m3f, good) three weeks ago and is effectively 2lb higher today; interesting to see whether his supporters wade in again. |
