1st 4 |
12th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Made inauspcious start to hurdling career last season but has made rapid progress this term, winning four times along the way (1m7f-2m, good-good to soft); lost out only by a short head at Kempton (2m, good to soft; front pair clear) last month and might still be improving. |
7/2 |

2nd 2 |
11th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Has won her last four starts (1m7f-2m1f, good/good to soft); did it narrowly at Sedgefield last time and is up 7lb, but the runner-up has since gone one better off 4lb higher; every chance her winning spree will continue. |

2nd May 2022 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Yet to fulfil her bumper promise over hurdles but is a dual winner this year, more recently when drawing 7l clear at Stratford (2m, good) three weeks ago; subsequent 6lb rise doesn't look excessive and she's open to further progress; good chance. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 |
10th Apr 2022 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Having been running well in handicaps (including on good ground) she got off the mark over hurdles in a maiden at Exeter (2m, good to soft); tailed off back in a handicap at Doncaster last month but may not have handled the testing ground; could bounce back now reverting to a better surface. |
|
|
5th 4 |
4th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Took advantage of a good opportunity and didn't need to improve when easily making all in a mares' maiden at Exeter (2m, good to soft) last month; admirably consistent in handicaps previously (including on soft ground) and last time may have given her confidence a boost; in the mix. |

7th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Just six starts; placed over 2m at Taunton (good) and Fakenham (good to soft) in two of his three handicaps and appeared to be stretched by 2m3f on soft ground when not so good here in between; big each-way claims. |
9/2 |

17th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Just five starts; improved when third on handicap debut at Taunton (2m, good) in December and appeared to be stretched by 2m3f on soft ground when not so good at Fontwell on Boxing Day; considered. |
3/1 |
|
4th 5 |
26th Dec 2021 Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Just four career starts; beaten 30l+ in three novices but improved effort when third on this month's Taunton handicap debut; that offers encouragement but a deal more probably needed to win this. |

21st Mar 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-5 over fences and 0-15 overall; yet to run a bad race this season and seems versatile regarding ground but was just a respectable third at Ludlow (2m, soft) last month and needs to find something extra. |
9/2 |

3rd 4 |
23rd Feb 2022 Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Beaten 15l into second at Warwick (2m, heavy) and probably ran to a similar level when just behind Majestic Merlin at Taunton (2m2f, good to soft); down 3lb for those defeats and looks a player. |

Lightly raced but tailed off this season in his first two handicaps, in first-time cheekpieces most recently; now wears a visor. |

13th 18 |
3rd Nov 2021 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |

Soundly beaten in first two handicaps, latterly when upped to 2m3f at Bangor (soft) in May; remains lightly raced but needs the added cheekpieces to generate some improvement. |

11th Jan 2022 Heavy 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Well-connected 6yo who has shown only minor form so far, including on handicap debut at Taunton last month (well-held sixth over 2m); this longer trip should suit in theory but it's hard to be confident of a much-improved showing; hooded for all hurdle starts but not today. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 |
9th Dec 2021 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Hasn't threatened on any of his four starts but has shown ability and has far more realistic claims now going handicapping off a modest mark; has a useful pedigree and interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |
14/1 |
|
8th 3 |
3rd Nov 2021 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has useful pedigree but he didn't show a great deal in sole bumper and has been a well-held fifth at biggish prices in his two hurdle runs (2m3f/2m, heavy); returns from 279 days off and remains best watched for now. |

23rd Feb 2022 Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |

Flat winner but an 11-race maiden over hurdles and her quiet season continued at Hereford; cheekpieces given a go on this his chase debut. |

7th 9 |
31st Jan 2022 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Flat winner but a ten-race maiden over hurdles and has been fairly quiet this season in two handicaps; not ideal being out of the weights, either. |

8th Jan 2022 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |

3rd May 2022 Good 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
57-race maiden (0-35 hurdles; 0-22 Flat); finished a distant third over hurdles at Taunton (3m, good, 11-1) last month and isn't exactly bred for chasing, which probably explains why we haven't seen him compete over fences until now; broadly unappealing, even in such a relatively modest contest. |

10th Apr 2022 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Unplaced all eight hurdling starts and was beaten about 54l on last month's chasing debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft); effectively 2lb higher from further out of the weights here; needs the added headgear to make a huge difference. |
25/1 |

20th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |

3rd Mar 2022 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Not beaten that far on either start this year (1m7f/2m, soft) but is yet to be placed after seven hurdling starts and needs today's step up in trip to enable some improvement. |

24th Mar 2022 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |

9th Dec 2021 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

Market check advised on this handicap debut but he'll need to improve upon what he's shown on his first four starts (1m7f/2m, good/good to soft). |

17th Nov 2021 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Beaten a long way in both attempts over hurdles (too keen each time, including in a hood latest); needs to learn to settle if he's to progress. |

24th Oct 2021 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Finished tired when a remote third of five in a bumper at Chepstow in April (good) and pulled hard before dropping out on his hurdling debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft); the hood may help him settle better but reservations for now. |
