24th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Too strong for subsequent winner Jurancon in a 2m soft-ground novice at Exeter but was seemingly anchored by his penalty back there on New Year's Day; solid each-way chance but could have his work cut out conceding 7lb to Diva Luna. |

Justified favouritism in C&D novice contest (soft) last time, not needing to improve but enhancing a good rules record that now reads 1212121; solid contender on handicap debut. |

8th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Commenced hurdles career with two falls; has shown improvement the last twice (won over 2m, runner-up over 2m3f) but the form isn't dazzling and this assignment is much harder. |
25/1 |

2nd 2 |
21st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Running well when he fell late on in his first two runs over hurdles; fifth of 13 at Exeter (2m, soft) next time and he built on that when winning a maiden at Lingfield (2m, heavy) three weeks ago; needs better in this company but he did it easily last time and should stay. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Running well when he fell late on in his first two runs over hurdles; fifth of 13 at Exeter (2m, soft) eight weeks ago was similar form, which looks the best in this line-up, but he's up against some with potential. |

24th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Unexposed 6yo who was placed in a soft-ground bumper last spring and has also shown promise in three novice hurdles this season (2m-2m4f); untested on ground quicker than good to soft but should have some improvement to come in handicaps. |
11/4 |
|
7th 4 |
8th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Placed in the second of his two bumpers and he ran well for a long way when a 7l sixth on hurdling debut at Exeter (2m, soft; first run after wind surgery) last month; didn't build on that when fifth at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last time but it's still early days and he should have more to offer; one of two runners for Paul Nicholls. |

1st Mar 2025 Heavy 2m 0f 69y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Handicap debutant; seemingly outstayed over 2m5f last time but may not be crying out for this drop back to 2m, having gained his Taunton win over 2m3f; testing ground would be a possible help, however. |

3rd 5 |
18th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Fourth and fifth here last season in two of his bumpers; sent novice hurdling for both starts this term and made the breakthrough with a dominant performance at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) 19 days ago, always close up and surging clear in the closing stages; he's therefore well worth a go at this trip and looks capable of better, which is needed. |

7th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Safely held in three novice hurdles this winter (1m7f-2m) and her tendency to race too freely is a worry but positives can be drawn from her Chepstow fifth in January and she's open to improvement in handicaps. |

Second of 17 in soft-ground Newbury bumper for Anthony Charlton 13 months ago but her next two bumper runs were disappointing and she was well beaten on both hurdling starts for new stable last month (2m/1m7f). |
