12th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Record of 5-7 in double-figure fields, including a success in this race last year (comfortably off 14lb lower) and Listed handicap at Ascot in October; held in small fields the last twice, though wasn't disgraced in the Christmas Hurdle on latest occasion; cheekpieces, worn when fourth in last year's Supreme, are reapplied today; highly respected back in ideal scenario. |

26th Dec 2021 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Largely progressive but has done his winning in double-figure fields, including two notable handicaps; disappointing favourite back in small field last time and has something to prove in this similar scenario. |
13/2 |

4th 1 |
27th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Doubtful whether he gave his true running in the Supreme Novices' at Cheltenham in March (first-time cheekpieces, discarded) but has impressed in his two handicaps either side of that defeat, in the Betfair Hurdle here (good to soft) and when defying a 10lb higher mark on his Ascot reappearance (soft); up another 6lb, but he's a strong traveller who jumps well and he carried 11st 11lb last time; hard to knock. |

Flat/hurdles/chase winner; consistent over hurdles of late but faces a tough task at the weights back under this code; disappointing favourite in Class 4 handicap on last Flat appearance. |

3rd 2 |
22nd Jan 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Placed on all five starts since October, most notably when second in Listed handicap at Ascot (1m7f, soft) on second occasion; not quite at best when third over C&D (soft) 12 days ago but still a likely contender. |

10th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 3 |

Series of very solid runs this season without managing a win; every reason to expect another good effort but hasn't won over hurdles since May 2018 and place prospects may again be his best hope. |

19th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper/novice winner; well backed but pulled hard when third in a strong Ascot handicap hurdle (1m7f, soft) on his reappearance and chase campaign was then soon aborted after a defeat at Exeter; didn't run badly back hurdling in the Betfair at Newbury (first-time tongue-tie) when the lack of pace was no help; unlikely that we've seen the best of him. |
9/2 |

9th 7 |
12th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Disappointing favourite over fences (2m3f) last time out but remains lightly raced and nowhere near fully exposed; now goes in tongue-tie and drops back in trip; has shown major promise in two attempts over hurdles, scoring impressively at Taunton then good third to Soaring Glory in Ascot handicap; interesting back in this sphere. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 |
3rd Dec 2021 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Big gaps between his three rules starts, winning the first two (2m, good to soft) before a fine third on handicap hurdle debut at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in October; runner-up in his two 3m points and has potential now switched to fences and up in distance; firmly in calculations. |

22nd Feb 2022 Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Made a winning British/hurdle debut at Leicester in November 2020; no success since but she has been performing with credit in stronger company this winter, notably a good fourth in a Listed handicap at Ascot in December; 7lb lower today and also taking a marked drop in class; new trip and solid claims if she stays. |

19th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Winless in four attempts in handicap hurdles, and, although she ran creditably when third to Gran Luna over C&D (soft) last time, she never looked like winning; 4lb better off with the winner but she'll probably need a personal best to come out on top; stable won this race 12 months ago. |

Made all at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month and still looks well treated back up 5lb, considering he showed very useful form when winning the Dovecote here (2m) two years ago; however, possibly vulnerable in this big field upped further in trip. |

Disappointing at Catterick latest but didn't look happy on that sharp, undulating course; in good form previously, finishing fourth here (2m3f, good to soft) and third at Southwell (3m, good to soft), and this lightly raced 7yo retains potential; effective on soft; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

26th Jan 2022 Good 3m 1f 54y Class 3 |

Has made the frame on all three of his starts over fences, just getting going too late when third at Southwell (good to soft) three weeks ago; that was his first attempt at 3m+, there's a fair bit of stamina in his pedigree and he could still be unexposed over this sort of trip; major player. |

Stayed on for third on chasing debut at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) in November and ran to similar level when fourth at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) last month; has been shaping as though well worth a crack at 3m; one to consider. |

7th Apr 2022 Good 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |

Grade 2 winner over hurdles and as novice chaser (good and soft); had looked as if his best days were behind him but another wind surgery seems to have done the trick and he was springheeled when winning the Grand Annual at Cheltenham (2m, heavy); speedy type who should be just as effective on this sharp track and a 7lb higher mark is chickenfeed on old form. |

Very capable Flat horse for Richard Hannon and he started well in his first season over hurdles with wins in maiden and handicap company at about 2m; absent, though, since struggling in a Grade 2 (won by Highway One O Two) in February 2020 and this is no soft option on his belated return. |
