0-11 over hurdles but 2-5 over fences, with both wins gained at Taunton this year (2m7f, soft/2m5f, good to soft); not at best when last in action and may prefer ground slower than good, but can make her presence felt here. |

Maiden hurdler but now 2-4 over fences after winning at Taunton again three weeks ago (2m5f, good to soft), getting up late in the day; Archie Bellamy rides again off 5lb higher mark; in the mix over a trip she stays. |

11st 12lb |
Shaped as if his turn might be near when 12l second to a well-backed favourite at Taunton (2m7f, soft) but reportedly had a breathing issue next time; bit risky, but there's a big run in him. |

Eight-race maiden, but he shaped as if his turn was near when 12l second to a well-backed favourite at Taunton (2m7f, soft) last month, making much of the running; dropping back in trip should be no problem; major player. |

20th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won on his chasing debut (2m) in October 2019; mostly disappointing since but signs of emerging from the doldrums when 13l third of 11 at Taunton (2m7f, soft) ten days ago; dangerous if building on that. |
8/1 |

Won on his chasing debut in October 2019 but has lost his way, finishing last at Wincanton most recently (behind Black Centaur); too many doubts. |

14th Dec 2021 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Not seen a lot of action since making a successful chase debut over 2m here more than two years ago and has pulled up in his last two races, both after absences and either side of wind surgery; plenty to prove at present and he's trying a new trip. |

11st 9lb |
Hasn't really threatened in latest three chasing starts but was narrowly beaten (off 8lb higher) over hurdles on his stable debut last November; good chance if he could produce that again and yard among the winners. |
5/1 |

3rd Mar 2022 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Rallied well to win off today's mark here (2m2f, good; also has form on heavy) for Nigel Hawke just under a year ago and was close second over hurdles here (3m, good) on seasonal/stable debut in November; not quite in same form in two subsequent chases but might be boosted by the addition of cheekpieces today. |
10/1 |

10th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Seems to reserve his best for this track, with figures of 4212; the win was over 2m2f but stamina didn't look an issue when close second over hurdles two starts ago (3m); fair third at Wincanton latest and seriously considered, despite a big weight. |

Outclassed in a novice chase last time but was pulled up in an Exeter handicap the run before and he's now 0-16 under rules; opposable in first-time cheekpieces. |

Pulled up in an Exeter handicap chase last time to make it 0-11 over fences; now 0-15 overall under rules and he should be outclassed. |

11st 2lb |
Versatile type who was a clearcut winner off this mark at Plumpton (2m3f, good to soft) in November but he's been well held in all four subsequent runs; return to this trip is no problem but his overall record now stands at 3-47 and others are more convincing. |

2nd Mar 2022 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Latest of three wins (40 attempts under rules) came by 12l over 2m3f at Plumpton in November but he's been way below that level in his three starts since; drops back from 2m7f and 2m5f; 3lb above that last winning mark and would be a player on one of his better days. |

Triple chase winner (once here) who seems very versatile regarding trip and ground; hasn't really fired on either start since success at Plumpton (2m3f, good to soft) in November, though. |

11st 3lb |
Won off 10lb higher in February 2020 but returned from a layoff with three disappointing runs this winter, most recently when swapping usual cheekpieces for first-time visor last month; comes here with a lot to prove but this is uncompetitive. |

10th Feb 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Hasn't offered much obvious encouragement in two comeback runs this winter but the fact he won this race off 5lb higher in 2020 makes him a dangerous one to discount, particularly if a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) has a reviving effect. |

Plumpton winner last March (blinkered for first time) but showed nothing in next two starts; better effort in this combination of aids at Wincanton latest and could play a part if repeating it. |

Won in first-time blinkers over 3m1f at Plumpton last March (good) but ordinary efforts since, trying cheekpieces two starts ago and then this headgear combination three weeks ago at Wincanton. |

14th Dec 2021 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |

Won in first-time blinkers over 3m1f at Plumpton in March (good) but has performed poorly since then, again in blinkers and last time with cheekpieces tried (behind Abbey Street); no great significance in the return of a tongue-tie and it remains to be seen what he'll make of a visor. |

Was running well (over shorter) in handicaps in the spring of 2019, including an Exeter win; absent for 20 months before heavy defeat over hurdles here 11 days ago; should do better back chasing but stamina an issue. |

4th May 2022 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Modest; races enthusiastically, and as a result had little left down the home straight on recent hurdles return at Exeter (2m mares' maiden; 250-1); tongue-tie and cheekpieces worn in unison, and officially 5lb 'wrong'; safe to look elsewhere. |

Maiden; placed over hurdles (for Robert Walford); little in two starts for current yard last summer and hopes pinned on wind surgery providing the answer; 5lb out of the handicap. |
