Form & Verdict

Runner-up in trio of four-runner mares' handicaps (2m4f/2m5f, good/soft) in the spring and returned from break with fair third at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month; edging down the weights and she's one to consider.

Form & Verdict

Went close over fences at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in February 2022 then absent until Wetherby (2m3f, soft) six weeks ago, when not running badly over hurdles; he's well handicapped on his old form and it will be no surprise to see a big run for his in-form yard.

Form & Verdict

Posted two good seconds towards the end of last year (3m/3m6f, good/good to soft) and he returned from an absence with a fair seventh of 19 at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October; soft ground may not have suited at Sedgefield last time (3m3f; weakened quickly) and he could be a contender.

Form & Verdict

Won twice last season, at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) and Catterick (3m1f, good), and he's well handicapped on that form; struggled in June/July on his last two starts but a break may have helped and he's not written off.
