9th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner who is on a reduced mark and took a step back in the right direction when 9l fourth of 12 at Cartmel in August; fell at Kelso since; however, this 10yo takes on some unexposed types and his claims aren't compelling. |

Hasn't won since January 2023; now 16lb lower; finished in front of Ashington and Well Educated when fourth in first-time tongue-tie (retained) over 2m1f on soft at Cartmel last time but not sure to confirm the form on today's better ground. |

28th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Has four wins on the Flat and four over hurdles; sports first time tongue-tie and usual cheekpieces return on this chase debut after blinkers were worn when fourth of six at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) last month; has had plenty of racing and others may have more scope for improvement. |

9th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) in October and has run well in second the next twice (2m/1m7f, good to soft/good); he's fine at this trip (and on a variety of ground) and was effective here over hurdles; can make another bold bid. |
4/1 |

8th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Winning hurdler who has taken well to fences, beating Caithness by a head over C&D on debut last month before fair second off this 4lb higher mark at Carlisle (2m, good to soft); should go well again. |

12th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Placed in two of his three starts for new stable; remains on career-high mark but Lewis Stones takes off a useful 3lb and record of 1-1 at Taunton bodes well; in the mix. |

12th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 3 |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
3-10 over hurdles; arguably posted career-best form when second on stable debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in May but ran no race when dropped back to 2m at Stratford last month; needs to put that performance behind him. |

Verdict
This looks a bit trappy but the two that appeal most are Casa Loupi and MATCHLESS (nap) who are both 2-6 over hurdles and still have potential in this sphere. The former is respected back from another absence but the vote goes to Matchless, who is a useful performer on the Flat and looks on a dangerous mark on his return to hurdling. Third choice is Nayati, who is on his last winning mark and drops back in grade on his return to action.[David Moon]
