24th Nov 2021 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Four hurdle wins, the latest in first-time visor at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) in September; disappointed when warm favourite for a chase three days later but has had a longer break this time and remains well handicapped on older hurdling form; had wind op last month; blinkers tried today. |
6/1 |

28th Sep 2021 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Has won one of his three runs over fences, back in 2018 when 12lb higher; has been running well over hurdles this summer and returned to winning ways by over 5l at Market Rasen on Saturday in this first-time headgear combination (2m2f, good); obvious contender now returned to chasing off the same mark. |

25th Sep 2021 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
No win since 2018 but placed twice over 2m on good ground this season and may have found 2m3f on good to soft too taxing when well beaten at Fontwell recently; continues to slip down the weights and has claims if boosted by today's headgear switch. |

26th Nov 2021 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Only one win (in August) since early 2017 but essentially a reliable yardstick; turns out quickly after below-par run at Sedgefield earlier in the week and others appeal more. |

23rd Nov 2021 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Just 2-45 over hurdles but respected for his consistency since scoring at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) in August; probably won't be far away. |

5th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Veteran with a record of 2-44 over hurdles but his last win came at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) in August and he's held his form well in four runs since; 1lb lower than for his creditable third at Carlisle last time (2m1f) and he should give it another good shot. |

11st 12lb |
Runner-up in maiden hurdle here (2m, good) in August and fair third at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) on subsequent handicap debut; enters calculations on that form, now 6lb lower, but he's been well below that level the last twice (2m1f/2m5f, good/good to soft); best form is on good/faster. |
5/1 |

5th 7 |
29th Oct 2021 Good To Soft 2m 5f 56y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
6yo with a record of 1-20 on the Flat; showed clear promise in his first three hurdle runs in August/September but was never really travelling in a Carlisle handicap (2m1f, good) 15 days ago; stays well on the Flat and this new trip should be within range but has something to prove after that disappointing run last time; new headgear. |
10/1 |

6th 2 |
14th Oct 2021 Good 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Modest on the Flat nowadays but was runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Hexham (2m, good) in August and a fair third at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) on last month's handicap hurdle debut; should be suited by this stiff track and he's on the shortlist. |

6th May 2022 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Dual 2m1f hurdle winner for Phil Middleton last spring but never really featured on stable debut a fortnight ago (2m); should be fine over today's longer trip but needs to have taken significant benefit from the recent outing; cheekpieces refitted. |

22nd Apr 2022 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Ahead of Low Profile when third of six here (2m, good) last month but well behind that rival when modest fourth in Hexham maiden 25 days ago and now 0-6 over hurdles; needs to up his game on today's handicap debut. |

10st 13lb |
Back in very good form when winning easily by 24l at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in October and is now only 3lb above that mark but his last three runs have been very disappointing; blinkers didn't appear to help much last time; now wears cheekpieces for first time since 2018 Flat campaign. |

1st Jan 2022 Soft 2m 7f 95y Class 4 |

Drew 24l clear to win here (2m4f, good) in October and was placed in much stronger race than this at Aintree (3m, good) a few days later; also has form on slower ground but his last two runs were disappointing and he needs the first-time blinkers to give him a boost. |

Yet to add to his win in plating company in 2018; belied 50-1 odds when keeping-on third at Stratford (2m, good) last month, his third run for Max Young, but safely held since; cheekpieces given another whirl today. |

Useful in bumpers in 2019 but unplaced all six hurdle starts, most recently when beaten about 40l over 2m7f last month; might benefit from this drop back in trip but clearly needs to improve. |

Now 2lb lower than when beating a next-time-out winner at Carlisle (2m1f, good) in October but form has nosedived in recent weeks; considered only if lively in the betting. |

29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |

Has dropped back down to the same mark as when winning at Carlisle in October and today's expected return to good ground is a likely plus, but based on his form this winter it's probably best to look elsewhere. |

2nd Feb 2022 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Soundly beaten at huge odds on first seven starts before landing big gamble in amateurs' race at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in December, having had wind surgery; again went off favourite at Wincanton next time but found little from two out; no surprise if there's better still to come, although the tongue-strap (worn last two starts) is left off today. |

Soundly beaten at huge odds on his first seven runs before landing a major gamble in 17-runner amateurs' race at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft; had had wind surgery and wore tongue-strap) in December; no surprise if there's better still to come and he's respected off a 6lb higher mark. |

Pulled up when 150-1 for handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) in September and only 1lb lower from out of the weights here; hopes pinned on combination of wind op and tongue-tie enabling massive improvement. |
