15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Better than ever last autumn, winning two in a row (2m7f, good; including here) before bumping into handicap blot when third at Aintree (3m, good) in October when last seen; further improvement can't be ruled out but he returns from a break with the drop back in trip a possible negative. |

6th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Usually ridden by 5lb claimer William Maggs; came from last for a clearcut win at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) in May and did the same in 14-runner race at Worcester (2m7f, good) three weeks ago; also acts on soft; not all races pan out so favourably for those tactics but he needs plenty of respect. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Best on good going; absent since Listed defeat on unsuitable ground in November; ran well at Wincanton (2m5f) the time before and now returns to the scene of her success last spring (3m); has never won when fresh but market support should be noted. |

Raced mostly on good ground; largely consistent in handicaps this year, winning twice (3m/3m2f); creditable second at Worcester (2m5f) most recently; faces a much stiffer assignment upped in class. |

Usually runs this track well, as when third over C&D on Boxing Day; not as good he was, though, and his final visit here was disappointing (3m no excuse); others preferred. |

10yo who isn't the force of old but he's dropped down the weights accordingly and likes Market Rasen, rallying for a fair third here (3m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago; another 2lb lower today and not discounted. |

11st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner on slow ground (acts on good); 10lb higher than her most recent course win, last February; best form would give her each-way claims but she'll need much more than on her two starts since a summer break. |

Made all in a five-runner affair at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) ten days ago; 6lb rise will make the task trickier but stamina reserves over this longer trip are proven; yard in form; high on the shortlist. |

Runner-up on hurdle debut here (2m1f, soft) in October then went one better at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft); well beaten in Listed race at Haydock last month (behind Getaway Theatre) but the heavy ground may have been too much and she could bounce back with a big performance today. |

2-2 for Harriet Dickin, having won narrowly at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) and following up by nearly 3l at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft); only 4lb higher than last time and the third won well at Kempton on Monday; has stamina to prove but good claims otherwise. |
