29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Steadily progressive this season (including on good ground), winning maiden hurdle at Kelso (2m, soft) last month then runner-up in Musselburgh handicap (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Day; could have more to offer and he's respected off just 1lb higher than last time. |

1st Jan 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Ran really well in autumn in first two handicaps, going close at Carlisle (2m4f, good) then third at Cheltenham (2m, good); won Kelso maiden (2m, soft) since and could go well despite being 2lb out of the handicap. |
9/2 |
1st 3 |
5th Dec 2021 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who is 0-14 overall but has proved consistent in four starts for new stable, most recently third in competitive novice handicap at Cheltenham (2m, good); has the best hurdles form in this field and thus warrants respect. |

1st Feb 2022 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Irish point winner who finished second in a maiden hurdle at Kelso (2m, soft) before taking a backward step when favourite at Ayr (2m, soft) last time; needs to bounce back but that's a distinct possibility. |
7/2 |
6th 10 |
2nd Jan 2022 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish point winner who bettered quite promising stable/hurdle debut (2m4f) when second at Kelso (2m, soft) last month; will be right in the thick of things with a similar performance here and should have more to offer. |
7/2 |
2nd 5 |
5th Dec 2021 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Irish point winner in May, then was sold for £20,000 and had wind surgery; not disgraced on rules debut at Ayr (2m4f) where he finished only about 1l behind a stablemate who boosted the form by winning at Haydock four days ago; open to improvement. |

18th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Landed a Fakenham maiden in December but has come up short in two subsequent handicaps; tacky (soft) ground perhaps to blame at Wetherby in January but he faded tamely at Kempton a month later (2m5f, good to soft); best watched despite 4lb lower mark and new cheekpieces. |
7/1 |
4th 1 |
11th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Good-ground bumper winner who scored at Fakenham (2m4f, good to soft) in December on his second hurdle start; soundly beaten on subsequent handicap debut at Wetherby (3m, soft) but this unexposed 6yo could get back on track with a big run now back on better ground and back down in distance. |

Off the mark when scoring over C&D last month (good to soft, fourth has won since); stiffer task with a penalty, but worth considering. |

0-8 over hurdles and inconsistent, but he was a good second in a maiden hurdle at Catterick (2m3f, good) last month and this soft-ground bumper winner is a player today if repeating that latest form. |

20th Mar 2022 Good 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Dead-heated in good-ground point bumper; best effort in slow-ground maiden hurdles when fifth at Kelso; looks the type to improve now he's qualified for a mark; interesting, especially if the surface is sound. |
4/1 |
13th 8 |
15th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Dead-heated in point bumper last April; better effort over hurdles when fifth of seven at Kelso (2m, heavy) in December, no extra after travelling well; has since had a breathing operation and he's almost certainly capable of further improvement; shortlisted. |

Showed ability on debut in Sedgefield bumper but soundly beaten next time and for all starts over hurdles; switch to handicaps could suit and gets cheekpieces but would want to see plenty of market confidence. |

Fair third on debut in Sedgefield bumper last May but well beaten at triple-figure odds on his three runs since (over hurdles the last twice). |

10st 0lb |
Big improvement on previous efforts over hurdles when close second at Wetherby (2m3f, heavy) last month; has to race from 2lb out of the handicap; fitting of cheekpieces may eke out further progress. |
9/2 |
2nd 16 |
16th Feb 2022 Heavy 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Tailed off at triple-figure odds on his three qualifying runs and soundly beaten in mid-division when 33-1 for last month's handicap debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft); lots of improvement is required. |
25/1 |
7th 16 |
2nd Jan 2022 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |

Little worthwhile form in points and over hurdles; needs a transformation in first-time tongue-tie on handicap debut. |

£18,000 2yo, £18,000 3yo; dam half-sister to French 1m7f Listed hurdle winner Funny Des Cotieres; sole newcomer in the field and sole runner on the card for Worcestershire-based trainer; Brian Hughes has good strike-rate for the yard; interesting, especially if the market speaks positively. |

£18,000 2yo, £18,000 3yo; third foal; dam didn't achieve much, half-sister to French 1m7f Listed hurdle winner; probably best watched on debut. |
