Seemed the only one to cope with the soft ground when winning by 22l over C&D at Christmas and might be flattered, as that RPR is miles in advance of his other figures; soundly beaten off this 8lb higher mark at Huntingdon one month ago, which adds to the doubts. |

Often leads; suited by this C&D when winning a novice hurdle and a fine third in a Grade 1 (good to soft; has won on soft); has been dropping in the weights since early in 2021 and newly eligible for this grade after fading at Ascot in January; could revive with tongue-tie refitted. |

22nd Jan 2022 Soft 2m 3f 58y Class 2 |

Distant second at Chepstow last time over a trip (2m7f) that's probably too far for him; creditable third in this race 12 months ago (for previous stable) and has a fighting chance off 8lb lower this time round. |

19th Feb 2022 Heavy 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
12yo who is inconsistent nowadays and was a well-beaten third at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) last time out; however, he showed some spark when third there previously (2m7f, good to soft) and it's a positive that he's a previous C&D winner on heavy ground, so isn't ruled out today. |

Back down the weights, best with a stamina test in the mud and reappearance third to Take Your Time over C&D (good to soft) was creditable; in-form stable has another live contender. |

Back down to a dangerous mark and last season was by no means a washout despite failing to win a race; will turn 12 next month though and he would like the ground soft or heavy ideally. |

11st 12lb |
Three wins last year, the latest at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in November; today's 3lb higher mark ought to be manageable but he hasn't fired on recent outings and is somewhat unreliable nowadays. |

2nd Apr 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Similar profile to Lalor as he finished third (off a higher mark) in the Paddy Power Gold Cup last term; mixed results over hurdles and fences for new stable this season but latest effort (in first-time cheekpieces) was encouraging; tongue-tie now added; respected. |
5/2 |

26th Feb 2022 Heavy 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Smart in his prime and was seemingly back in form when fourth over hurdles at Sandown (2m7f, good to soft) in December, his second run for Sam Thomas; well below that level here just after Christmas, though, and now reverts to chasing with cheekpieces tried. |
6/1 |

27th Dec 2021 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |

Reappearance (for new trainer) made it three poor runs in a row over fences; however, his Sandown fourth (2m7f) back hurdling three weeks later under claimer Thomas Doggrell puts him back into serious calculations. |

25th Mar 2022 Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Wore cheekpieces on last four starts, including when he started this season with wins over about 3m at Ffos Las (soft) and Chepstow (good to soft); needed some pushing in the latter and he did not fire when 6-4 favourite back at Chepstow at Christmas; should stay and although he may need to resume his progress, he's lightly raced so that may be possible. |

27th Dec 2021 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Wore cheekpieces on last three starts, on last two occasions winning at Ffos Las (soft) and over C&D (good to soft; Flashjack third); needed some pushing last time and has been raised another 5lb but he may well have more to offer with these stamina tests. |

4th Dec 2021 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |

Only his seventh career start when making a successful return to handicaps at Ffos Las (3m, soft), beating one of his market rivals with the pair well clear; 6lb rise could have been worse and he's hard to knock. |

11st 2lb |
Raced mainly on soft/heavy; game and steadily progressive last term, ending it with a win at Uttoxeter (2m7f); weak in the betting when tailed off on reappearance at Carlisle 15 days ago but she may have needed the run. |

Raced mainly on soft/heavy; game and steadily progressive, ending last season with a win at Uttoxeter (2m7f), and she may not have stopped improving yet; one to consider. |

Good progress at about 3m on soft/heavy last season included wins at Uttoxeter in December and when last seen in March; wore cheekpieces on last two outings; raised another 5lb but further improvement is possible. |
