8th May 2022 Good To Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time AW winner this year; failed to transfer the best of that form back to turf at Doncaster (1m4f) two weekends ago and still has something to prove in this sphere. |

9st 6lb |
0-15 (placed seven times at up to 1m6f); has run to a similar level in four of his five starts for Fergal O'Brien; up 1lb for close third when favourite at Lingfield (1m5f, Polytrack) latest; should be thereabouts. |
8/1 |
3rd 5 (5) |
26th Jan 2022 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Maiden who has been running well in similar races on Polytrack and Tapeta, coming from off the pace when second at Southwell last week (1m4f); also has form at 1m6f and perhaps this intermediate trip will be ideal. |
11/4 |
2nd 7 (8) |
19th Jan 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |

Strong traveller but finishing effort hasn't always delivered as much as looked likely; has the raw ability to feature in a race like this though and he has place claims. |

5th Mar 2022 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Has been generally progressive on AW since November and he made it 3-7 for Joseph Parr when scoring on his step up to 2m here last Saturday; up 4lb but he stayed on well to beat a clear second last time and should have more to offer at this trip; big player. |
15/8 |
1st 6 (4) |
26th Feb 2022 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Consistent run of form on the AW for this yard, including 1m4f wins on Tapeta and Polytrack; only narrowly denied in a tactically run affair over 1m5f here three weeks ago and, if seeing out this longer trip, he's sure to be involved with Harry Burns taking off 5lb this time. |
9/4 |
2nd 5 (3) |
5th Feb 2022 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Good record on AW since joining this yard, including 1m4f wins at Wolverhampton and Kempton; another solid run when third at Southwell (1m4f) in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) 17 days ago; should go well under Ryan Moore. |

Three-time winner, most recently at Chelmsford in February (1m2f), and no problem with this trip on fast ground; not much margin for error off current mark but likely to give his running. |

7th 5 (11) |
15th Apr 2022 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Back in the groove when winning over C&D in February and he didn't really get the breaks when fifth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last time; looks interesting back at this track and he should get a good pace to aim at. |

17th Mar 2022 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Sole win came at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last summer when trained by Richard Hughes, but held since and returns to the Flat after an inauspicious hurdles debut; plenty to find with Maharashtra on last month's C&D running and easily passed over. |
25/1 |

22nd Feb 2022 Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

1m Flat winner for Richard Hughes; not at his best in five Flat runs for new yard; stiff task on hurdle debut. |

3rd Feb 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |

Fair efforts over C&D the last twice and he continues to edge down the weights; these cheekpieces seemed to have a positive effect on their sole previous use last September and he might not be far away. |

Completed a turf hat-trick last season and regained the winning thread at Southwell (AW) on penultimate start; had an excuse (finished lame) latest; however, faces a tougher assignment off career-high mark. |

8th Feb 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |

Took advantage of a much-reduced AW mark when ready winner of handicap over C&D 12 days ago; 4lb rise shouldn't prove sufficient to stop him from following up today. |

1-14 and has run some creditable races over middle-distances on the AW during the winter, as when dead-heating for fourth with Turn Of Phrase (just behind King Christophe and Miss Sligo) at Wolverhampton (1m4f) ten days ago; each-way claims. |
15/2 |

28th Feb 2022 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole success in 13 starts came on stable debut here (8.6f) last August, but a couple of recent efforts over this sort of trip suggest stamina isn't an issue; needs to put a modest effort at Southwell last time behind him, albeit that was in a better race. |

Peak RPR of 75 in Ireland (from four goes) but just over 9l the closest he's got in Britain; weak finisher when upped to 1m6f last time so 2m raises further doubt; goes with just cheekpieces this time. |

Dropped a long way in the weights since winning 7f handicap at Newcastle in late 2020; little to show for efforts for this yard, over hurdles and on AW, but is dropped in class and is one to keep in mind. |

14th Feb 2022 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Won off 9lb higher at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in October 2020 but he's been disappointing since and was a remote eighth of nine behind Dembe at Kempton last time; opposable. |

Newcastle winner (7f, Tapeta) in October 2020 but he's been disappointing since, including over hurdles and on the Flat in last two starts; takes a big drop back in trip and now 4lb lower than for his win but he needs a major revival. |

Dual turf winner last autumn, latterly off this mark; his other victories came on Fibresand and he'll need to step up on recent Tapeta efforts. |

7th Mar 2022 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Runner-up once on Wolverhampton Tapeta in 2018; in good form last summer, winning middle-distance handicaps at Brighton and Bath; quiet over hurdles more recently and tenth of 11 when cheekpieces were added over C&D (33-1) last month; no headgear today; considered in this weak company. |

Some promise in novice/maiden company last winter but she failed to improve for a switch to handicaps when last seen one year ago; up 4f in trip on stable debut (same owners); down in class and may do better. |
