12th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Steadily progressive over hurdles, scoring twice at Wetherby (2m/2m4f, soft/good) early this year; the form of the second win was boosted when the runner-up went one better next time and there's almost certainly better still to come now he moves into handicaps; could be the pick of the Skelton trio. |

1st 2 |
5th Feb 2022 Good 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Made the frame on first two hurdle starts (2m4f/2m5f), and didn't need to improve to win comfortably here (2m, soft) three weeks ago; encounters faster ground today but the move back up in trip will suit; obvious contender. |
10/11 |

1st 6 |
15th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Third in an Irish point; second to the promising Hillcrest on his hurdling debut at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) in November, and he was far from disgraced when 11l fourth of 17 at Warwick (2m5f, soft; wore tongue-strap; lost a shoe) the following month; has since had wind surgery; should cope with today's drop in trip and he looks the one to beat. |

3rd May 2022 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Placed on all four outings over hurdles, all at around 2m, last time finishing runner-up to a subsequent handicap winner at Haydock (1m7f, good); bred to stay 2m4f, but can pull hard so this longer trip not sure to suit. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 2 |
23rd Mar 2022 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Headstrong sort who isn't progressing, but he's finished in the first three on all three hurdle starts (2m, soft/heavy) and settled better last time; showed promise in a point on good to yielding ground (unraced on good); this front-runner holds strong form claims in today's line-up. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 1 |
7th Mar 2022 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Headstrong sort who has raced freely in a clear lead on his first two hurdle starts (2m, soft; including C&D) but has still posted good performances; holds strong form claims today. |

5th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Went straight over fences for his handicap debut, resulting in a win at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) last month; did it nicely and could still be ahead of the handicapper now 5lb higher; has shown promise on soft. |
15/8 |

1st 3 |
9th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
0-4 in Irish points and 0-3 over hurdles (placed twice) but may well have a better chance of winning on this handicap/chase debut; open to improvement and looks interesting. |
3/1 |

3rd 9 |
15th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

0-4 in Irish points; well held in two 2m1f hurdles at Carlisle; may have benefited from recent wind surgery, although he looks his stable's second string judged on jockey bookings. |

8th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Went very close on bumper debut in 2020 and positives can be drawn from all three hurdle runs this season (2m-2m4f); unraced on ground quicker than soft but could have a say on today's handicap debut. |
9/2 |
|
4th 10 |
15th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Went close in bumper at Ayr (heavy) in October 2020; bred to be useful over jumps but only modest form so far in novice/maiden hurdle at Hexham; dropping back from 2m4f to 2m isn't sure to suit him today, and one or two of these rivals appeal more; wears tongue-strap for the first time. |

15th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Finished second in a point bumper on his debut before being bought for £25,000 last summer, but he has been well beaten at long odds on both his starts under rules; probably best watched. |

Won on debut in Newcastle bumper in December 2020; just one sign of promise (two starts ago) from his four runs since but a place could be a possibility with this race lacking depth. |

15th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won Newcastle bumper (soft) in December 2020; well beaten on his first two attempts at hurdling but November's maiden fourth on the same course (2m, good to soft) was a step in the right direction; may be able to take another today, and he has place claims at least. |

27th Dec 2021 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won on debut in Newcastle bumper (2m, soft) last December and, while he's been unable to reproduce that promise since, last month's maiden hurdle fourth there (2m, good to soft) was a step back in the right direction; may be able to take another today. |

24th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |

Point winner who has made no impact in four starts over hurdles; tongue tie fitted for chasing debut off very feasible mark and represents a stable which has been in red-hot form; has to be of interest and very much one to note in the betting. |

25th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |

Winning 2m4f pointer on heavy; little of note in 2m7f and 2m hurdles but this is a more realistic opening now switched to a handicap in first-time cheekpieces; worth market check for in-form yard. |

17th Mar 2022 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Point winner; went mightily close when upped in trip for handicap debut at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft; 8-1) three weeks ago; has a 3lb higher mark to contend with today but merits ample respect on that latest evidence. |

Half-brother to a 3m hurdle winner; midfield in two bumpers; beaten 28l when third of five at Catterick (2m; 12-1) on hurdling debut; likely to be of more interest over longer trips further down the line. |
