Versatile mare who won over fences (3m, heavy) and hurdles (3m1f, good) in the spring; shaped well when fifth on last month's reappearance at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) and remains unexposed as a chaser; big player. |

Lacked fluency when fourth in two 3m Fakenham chases this autumn and now reverts to hurdling; will be suited by today's drop back in trip, though, and and won't mind the forecast rain; can exploit a favourable mark. |

Safely held when making the frame in two handicap hurdles this spring (2m7f/3m) and now 0-5 in that sphere; improvement is possible but needed on today's chasing debut. |

0-6 over hurdles and absent since a disappointing run in April but his first two handicap runs (2m5f/2m4f) were quite encouraging and improvement is possible this season; cheekpieces left off today. |

Has shown glimpses of promise in both novice and handicap company and stepped up slightly on his return from wind surgery when fifth at Plumpton (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces) latest; drops 2lb and likely to need more improvement to defy this mark. |

23rd Feb 2025 Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
First hurdle win came on soft and the second was on good ground over this sort of trip here last June, after which he went close two days later at Newton Abbot; only 2lb higher than last time but he's steered clear of fences since falling on his debut in this discipline 13 months ago. |

Back in good form lately and finished strongly to double hurdling tally at Fontwell (3m2f, good) on Wednesday; will have 7lb penalty to shoulder if he makes a quick reappearance here but won't mind if the ground softens. |

0-20 under rules but didn't fare too badly when fifth at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month after three-month break; on a career-low mark and not out of this if this step back up in trip does the trick. |

Won her only point; handicap hurdle win came off 2lb higher and she ran two solid races in that discipline before finding only one too good on her switch to fences over C&D 12 days ago (heavy); aided by another low weight, she should have a part to play. |

Well held at Ascot last month but he won twice at 2m7f in December, including over C&D, and a strong-finishing third back over C&D (good to soft) in January was good form for the level; solid claims back down in grade. |

Career-low mark when he won at Market Rasen in December and he also scored at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve, both over about this trip; confirmed he's now in career-best form when third at Market Rasen four weeks ago, making up a lot of late ground, so he needs some respect despite this higher class. |

Scored off 5lb over hurdles here (2m7f, good to soft) last season and made quite encouraging chase debut at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in October; could not recover from mid-race jumping error when a disappointing favourite last time but remains one to be interested in. |

Irish point second who was placed in a heavy ground bumper on debut and also in a Kempton novices' hurdle (2m5f, soft) in February; pulled up on handicap debut at Taunton later that month but player if a subsequent wind operation has a positive effect; also has first-time cheekpieces added to the tongue-strap he's worn recently. |
