Has thrived since tackling this trip and made it four from his last six when winning at Wincanton in January, handling soft ground well; doesn't do more than necessary so handicap mark has only crept up (4lb for latest success); cheekpieces return (has won on the Flat in them); plenty of appeal and stable remains in fine form. |

11st 4lb |
Formerly quite useful on Flat and he's now come into his own over hurdles, winning four of last six starts, including latest; found only a handicap blot too strong when second of 16 over C&D (good to soft) on penultimate start, despite suffering significant early interference; lots to like but ground worse than good to soft would seemingly be a big worry. |

Won chase debut at Aintree (3m1f, soft) in October 2020; back to life when second at Wincanton on Thursday in first-time blinkers on return to hurdling, making him of renewed interest. |

Well beaten on both starts this season but arguably ran a bit better than bare form suggests in competitive Haydock chase on latter occasion; given a chance by the handicapper back over hurdles and might be boosted by a change of headgear. |

19th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Veteran front-runner who has finished runner-up in 2m5f/2m7f handicaps the last twice under Cameron Iles; just looks vulnerable to something better treated. |

26th Feb 2022 Heavy 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Often front-runner; 13yo who recovered a lot of his old verve over hurdles at Wincanton on last three outings, winning on first occasion and runner-up under Cameron Iles one week ago on latest; acts on heavy; thereabouts on the recent evidence. |

19th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |

Teenager who has mixed hurdling with chasing in recent seasons; bounced back to form to spring 40-1 surprise over C&D (soft; made all) last month and also ran well when third here (3m, good to soft) 12 days later but will probably find younger rivals better handicapped today. |

12st 0lb |
Didn't make the progress that seemed likely after novice win in December 2020 but both handicap runs this winter were perfectly respectable; dropped another 2lb since last time and is not yet fully exposed over 3m+; probably won't be far away. |

Hasn't progressed since winning Uttoxeter novice in December 2020 but made satisfactory seasonal debut when fifth at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month and remains unexposed at around 3m. |

Absent since a below-par run at Perth in April but he's had wind surgery since and this lightly raced novice hurdle winner (2m4f, soft) has potential off this mark on his handicap debut. |

23rd Feb 2022 Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Smart hurdler/chaser in his prime and it was a good stable debut he made when fourth in Listed handicap chase at Ascot (3m, good to soft) in December; given the promise of that run it was disappointing he didn't show more off a lower hurdle mark next time, but that Ascot run brings him into it. |

Long in the tooth now but was a very useful hurdler/chaser in his prime and made very respectable stable debut when fourth in Listed handicap chase at Ascot (3m, good to soft) last month; competes off 13lb lower hurdle mark today; can't be ruled out. |

18th Dec 2021 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |

Got himself badly handicapped after winning the 2018 renewal of this race easily by 8l and his only subsequent success has come in a novice hurdle; didn't sign off for Nicky Henderson in bad form by any means in June but others have more pressing claims. |

Both chase wins have come at Exeter, last time his stamina winning the day in the 3m6f Devon National (soft); finished nowhere in this last season but he was second to Truckers Lodge the year before (albeit a remote one) and he's entitled to give his running once more; perhaps placed at best. |

Only chase win was gained here and has been placed in big staying handicaps but not really at his best this season; well beaten back hurdling latest and difficult to now what to expect for now. |

11st 8lb |
Lightly raced 8yo; not seen over hurdles since winning handicap debut at Ascot (2m7f, heavy) in February 2020 but won a chase off today's mark last season; ran poorly on reappearance outing in December but still considered. |

4th Dec 2021 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Lacked fluency and was slightly disappointing when favourite for quite valuable novices' handicap at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in March but looked very promising when making all at Newbury (2m7f, soft) last December and remains lightly raced; one to consider. |

20th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 3 |
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. |
11/1 |

10th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Has a good strike-rate and bounced back from a below-par run when winning at Uttoxeter in November (2m7f, good; has also won on soft); therefore it won't be a shock if he can leave behind his heavy last-time-out defeat at Chepstow, but others provide more reliable options. |
8/1 |

27th Dec 2021 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Took advantage of his drop in the weights to land two 3m handicaps at Ffos Las in the summer and back on song to score at Uttoxeter on latest outing; did the job in tidy fashion last time and, although back up 4lb since, he had markedly better form in 2017 and 2018, including in the mud. |
6/1 |
