8th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
In fine form towards the end of 2021, winning twice on good ground here, including at today's distance; has had excuses since (inadequate trip last time) and could bounce back here with conditions in his favour. |

8th Jan 2022 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
12st 10lb
|
In fine form at the end of 2021, winning twice at Taunton (2m3f and 3m, both good ground), but he ran poorly on hat-trick bid at Huntingdon (3m1f, soft) on Boxing Day; today's considerably shorter trip raises major doubts. |

26th Dec 2021 Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Thriving at present, chasing a hat-trick after a pair of wins at Taunton (2m3f and 3m, both good ground); good value for latest success as he was badly messed around at the start; 9lb rise against stronger opposition will demand more of him; best on good/good to soft but seems to handle soft. |

Has been running well over hurdles and on the AW but is up in grade from his Taunton second in November (2m3f, good) and will do well to shake the principals. |

Winner of mares' novice handicap at Taunton in March (2m3f, good) and has been running creditably of late (led when falling two out on penultimate start); will do well to fend off less exposed rivals though. |

10st 10lb |
Won in Jersey in August and has run some fair races in Britain since, with a near-5l second at Stratford (2m2f, good) last time; however, continues to edge up the weights so needs to find something extra to score today. |

25th Nov 2021 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
Things have clicked for this lightly raced 6yo, with wins at Stratford (2m2f, good) and Wincanton (1m7f, good); won eased down last week in a conditionals/amateurs handicap and escapes a penalty; should be tough to beat. |
5/4 |

18th Nov 2021 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Runner-up at Exeter before going one better from the front off an unchanged mark at Stratford (2m2f, good); only 4lb higher for this and no reason why he shouldn't threaten once more. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 |
28th Oct 2021 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Two good runs from his last three starts, probably facing a tough task attempting to give plenty of weight to one who was making it 2-2 in handicaps, in an amateur jockeys' race at Exeter last week (2m2f, good; pair clear); should have plenty going for him off the same mark (up 3lb in future). |

9th Dec 2021 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Close second twice in October (2m2f, good/2m1f, heavy) but wasn't in the same form when behind Kendelu here (2m3f, good) last month and probably needs today's longer trip to unlock some improvement. |
16/1 |

25th Nov 2021 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Won at Newton Abbot (2m2f, soft) in June and has returned to form the last twice, going close at Stratford (2m2f, good) and Newton Abbot (2m1f, heavy); could be in the mix once more. |
9/1 |

2nd 6 |
21st Oct 2021 Heavy 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Just over 4l clear of Richie Valentine when finally off the mark over 2m2f here in June (soft; 4lb higher today) and that rival has won twice as chaser since; possible only a wide passage at Stratford cost this 5yo another success five days ago and, due to go up 4lb for that, he enters the reckoning. |

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. |

10st 10lb |
Made a respiratory noise here two starts ago; improved for fitting of tongue-tie over C&D (good) later in January, finishing a very solid second (split subsequent winners); may well build on that effort; respected off just 2lb higher. |
3/1 |

2nd 13 |
25th Jan 2022 Good 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Didn't hang about over hurdles and he was tailed off over C&D only 13 days ago on his chase debut; however, interesting that he was made favourite for that and now goes in a tongue-tie; may do better, for all that he's 5lb out of the weights. |

Five-time hurdle winner who was a fair fourth here (2m, good to firm) last month and today's longer trip may be a plus; however, he's struggled to get competitive this year and others are more compelling. |

Lightly raced 6yo who ran well for a fair way at Stratford (2m6f, good) last time, where he failed to settle, and he could benefit from this drop back in trip; however, he's now been pulled up/tailed off in his first two handicaps and others arrive with more solid claims. |

Returned to form in these blinkers last month and enters calculations judged on his second to Norley at Stratford (2m2f, good); however, a lesser run followed at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) and he needs to bounce back. |

10yo who is a longstanding maiden but he kept on for third of 15 at Fontwell (2m1f, good to firm) in May and soft ground may not have suited at Newton Abbot next time; not ruled out each-way now back from a break. |
