10st 13lb |
Well beaten for Sheila Lewis; made a winning start for new connections when coming from the back to win by 4l in 12-runner handicap at Plumpton (2m4f, good) 18 days ago; that was pretty smooth, so she's of major interest despite 5lb rise and the shorter trip. |

Lightly raced mare whose struggles for Sheila Lewis included a poor handicap run when hooded; however, Fergal O'Brien is very capable of turning new recruits around and she needs checking in the betting. |

24th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 97y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Last season didn't go to plan but hard to fault in his last three races and dug deep under a positive ride to win over 2m3f here 20 days ago (front two clear); effectively off the same mark courtesy of Dylan Whelan's claim and pedigree suggests this longer trip should be within range. |

Came down the weights before winning at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in August and followed that with a creditable second at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in September, both under a claiming rider; has a bit more to prove back on much more testing ground. |

Won only narrowly at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) in June and has just come up short since then; mark continues to edge up and one or two others might be better in. |

21st Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Narrow Market Rasen winner (2m4f, good) who just missed out in her follow-up bid at Worcester when denied by a hat-trick seeker; further 3lb rise is no help but should give her running. |
5/1 |
2nd 6 |
20th Jul 2023 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Two satisfactory attempts after nearly a year off and gained her reward with a narrow success at Market Rasen last month; this will probably take a bit more winning but she may well still be open to improvement; up 3lb. |

9th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (2m-2m4f); ran quite well when fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in September and probably didn't get the trip when below that form over 3m last month, but his sole chasing attempt in 2022 did not go well (jumped poorly, pulled up). |
11/2 |

15th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Four-time hurdle winner at up to 2m4f; good effort when fourth of 12 at Southwell (2m4f, good) three weeks ago and is suited by slow ground but today's test may tax his stamina; refitted cheekpieces replace visor. |
7/1 |

24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |

Twice placed during July at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft), a course he always runs well; does have form elsewhere and has won over this longer trip, so brings fairly solid credentials. |

Ran respectably when 40-1 fifth at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in September but he's an inconsistent maiden and was pulled up at Stratford next time; 3lb out of the weights here and others are more convincing. |

Doubled his hurdling tally at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July and is now only 2lb above that mark but has become inconsistent this year and others in this line-up appeal more. |

24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Would have won easier at Worcester (2m4f, good) but for some premature easing on the run-in but he went out like a light next time at Uttoxeter; usually consistent in the main and could bounce back from that. |
12/1 |
8th 2 |
30th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Generally consistent and gained a second hurdle success when overcoming premature easing at Worcester last month; 4lb higher and this looks potentially more competitive but he has to be considered again. |

30th Nov 2023 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
No match for easy winner when second of four on last month's chasing debut but probably bettered that performance when second at Plumpton (2m3f, good to soft) 24 days ago; contender if suited by today's longer trip. |

2nd 1 |
6th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |

Off the mark over hurdles with clearcut success at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) in May; no match for easy winner when second of four on last month's chasing debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good) but positives can be drawn from that performance and he's 3lb lower now. |

30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Mixed form over hurdles in Britain and well beaten latest; however, he was second of four at Fontwell two starts ago and perhaps the switch to fences will help this 5yo tap back into the promise he showed over hurdles in France in March 2022; Gary Moore has won two of the last three runnings. |

24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-French 5yo who remains unexposed; easily his best run for this yard was after a break at Fontwell two weeks ago (2m3f, good) when he remained on the scene despite racing freely up front; considered off an untouched mark. |
9/2 |
2nd 4 |
10th Sep 2023 Good 2m 3f 49y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Ex-French 5yo who is unexposed after only five starts; not seen since pulled up in two Lingfield handicaps (2m3f/2m) towards end of 2022 and unraced on ground quicker than good to soft (twice withdrawn with good deemed unsuitable); leap of faith required to support him here. |

Kept on resolutely to open hurdling account at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July, his third start for Richard Newland; only 1lb higher now but form has dipped alarmingly since; headgear switched in bid to perk him up. |

11st 9lb |
Ground it out at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July on his third run back from a long absence and it could be that Cartmel never suited a month ago; only 4lb higher than for that recent win, but others may have more up their sleeves. |

28th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Third start back from a long absence when scoring over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last month; form of that race might be suspect but he may well be capable of better and he's only 4lb higher; acts on soft and in the shake-up. |
