5th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 98y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Ex-French; won handicaps on three of his four starts for new yard, all under Cillin Leonard, including over 2m4f here (soft) on second occasion and in very good style over 3m at Haydock (soft) seven weeks ago; up another 10lb and in grade but can't be ruled out after that latest display. |

18th Dec 2021 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 3 |

Ex-French; won 2m4f handicaps at Worcester (good to soft) and Sandown (soft; stayed on strongly) this autumn on first two starts for new yard; good second over 2m7f at Market Rasen (good) in hat-trick bid, when he seemed to stay okay; unraced beyond that but it's worth a go. |

11th May 2022 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
0-13 over hurdles but was close second in handicap here (2m4f, good) last autumn and again went down fighting in Ludlow maiden (2m5f, soft) in January; makes chasing debut after four-month break but has possibilties if he jumps well. |

0-14 and was inconsistent last year, finishing tailed off at Chepstow last time out in October; however, he's finished second on four of his last seven starts and shouldn't be far away if back to his best. |
8/1 |

26th Oct 2021 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
0-11 over hurdles but ran big race in defeat when clear second at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) this month, after a break, and today's longer trip won't be a problem; might be the answer. |

11st 7lb |
Progressive over hurdles in recent starts for new trainer and off the mark when 5-4 favourite in 13-runner conditionals' handicap at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft) last time, narrowly but perhaps with more in the tank; up 6lb and this 5yo from the family of the stable's very useful chaser Chance Du Roy makes his chase debut. |

4th Dec 2021 Good To Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |

In excellent hands and still has very low mileage; yet to be asked a question when falling three out in Leicester handicap (1m7f) last time; possibilities with a clear round. |

15th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Promising second in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) on debut; hasn't improved in two subsequent runs (2m4f) but he's in excellent hands and may yet take his form to a higher level; shortlisted. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 |
7th Oct 2021 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made the frame in novice at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) and maiden at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in May, better effort when 6l second of ten on first occasion; completely unexposed as he moves into handicaps after a break and commands major respect, especially if strong in the betting. |

4th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made all in good style at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last September and on that evidence today's 9lb higher mark may not be beyond him; however, he was soundly beaten in fifth at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) the following month and has something to prove on slow ground on his return from a break. |
11/1 |

5th 4 |
7th Oct 2021 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Progressive 7yo; confirmed previous promise when gaining a clearcut win in seven-runner race at Fontwell (2m3f, good; 100-30) three weeks ago, making all; this race looks stronger and he's now 11lb higher but he's open to further improvement all the same. |

11th Apr 2022 Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Inconsistent 10yo who has been beaten on his last 13 starts stretching back to December 2019, but he's been runner-up on two of his last three starts (2m, heavy/good to soft) and can be in the mix if on a going day. |

11th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
No match for Pride Of Lecale at Ffos Las (chase debut) in January but has a fighting chance on these revised terms provided he's back to form after pulling up at Chepstow; well handicapped on old hurdles form. |
8/1 |

28th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 214y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Infrequent winner over hurdles and has left it late to go over fences; good first effort when second over 2m at Ffos Las (heavy) but was behind when pulled up at Chepstow (2m3f, soft); opposable. |

7th Oct 2021 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Showed enough in novice races to make him of interest on July's C&D handicap debut, but he was pulled up (weak in the betting, reportedly made a noise) on his final outing for Johnny Farrelly; too soon to write him off but clearly has to leave that behind. |

13th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Sent chasing during the winter and was pulled up in the last two of three starts over fences; no great surprise to see him back hurdling and he did manage to win a handicap off a 6lb higher mark at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) a year ago; blinkers fitted for first time. |

4th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won off 2lb higher on handicap hurdle debut last March (2m4f, soft); fairly encouraging chase debut when fourth here (2m, good) in November but flopped badly back up in trip at Bangor last month; has a point to prove. |
12/1 |

10th Dec 2021 Soft 2m 4f 72y Class 5 |

Only a 4yo; won his handicap hurdle over this trip on soft and off this very mark; beaten 7l on recent chase debut at Hereford and that was a sound effort over 2m on good ground; considered with improvement anticipated. |

Dual-purpose performer whose most recent success came over hurdles at Newbury (2m4f, good) in March; below par since, however, and well beaten on the Flat 12 days ago; others are more persuasive. |

1st Nov 2021 Good To Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Maiden; didn't appear to stay 3m1f+ here on last month's chasing debut and drop back in trip could do the trick; visor on for first time (replacing cheekpieces) and not impossible after the latest display. |
9/2 |

3rd 3 |
18th Oct 2021 Good 3m 1f 152y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Promise in bumpers and in one hurdle race for Alan Jones before going missing for two years; quiet in three runs for current yard (latest his handicap debut) and now goes chasing over a new trip; these aids worn before but not in unison; much to prove. |
10/1 |
|
10th 8 |
7th Oct 2021 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Promising in bumpers and on hurdle debut for Alan Jones, but disappeared for two years and no major promise in two runs this season; may do better now handicapping but has something to prove in terms of form. |
14/1 |
