19th Mar 2022 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Made all in novice hurdle here (2m, good) in November and after a defeat at Taunton, he easily made all on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in January; hit with 15lb rise but the Doncaster runner-up won easily himself next time; unexposed and could still be ahead of the handicapper. |

29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Off the mark at the fifth attempt when comfortably making all at Kempton (2m, good) in November, and good third at Taunton (2m, good) next time in a race that has worked out well; has potential off this handicap debut mark and his pedigree provides hope he'll stay this far. |

25th Nov 2021 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Progressive sort who got off the mark at the fifth attempt when comfortably making all at Kempton (2m, good) recently; this will be tougher under a 7lb penalty but he's a half-brother to the smart Raya Star and could have more to offer for his leading trainer. |

Won off a 6lb lower mark over this trip at Doncaster last month (good to soft) and fair second off 1lb lower than today over the same C&D last time; conditions suit and is one to consider. |

2nd 11 |
29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Having attracted market support he made it two wins from his six starts when scoring on his second stable start over C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago; unexposed and could give another good account up 5lb. |
11/1 |
1st 15 |
11th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Shaped quite well on hurdling debut in November 2020 but hasn't built on it (sole win came when long odds-on); possibly needed the run when sixth of 11 at Ludlow (50-1) last month after six months off on first start for Gary Hanmer; needs to improve but he's still relatively lightly raced. |

Just 1-11 over hurdles, the win gained on seasonal debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) in October, but looked well suited by the return to 3m when very respectable fourth of 13 at Newbury (good) this month. |

10st 9lb |
Has landed good-ground wins at Carlisle and Newcastle (both 2m4f) this term; similar conditions likely here but latest Doncaster fourth would suggest the handicapper perhaps has her about right for now. |
9/1 |
4th 13 |
29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Her form figures on good ground read 21611 following her mares' handicap win at Newcastle (2m4f, good) latest; 7lb higher in a better race today so further improvement is needed, but she has a progressive profile. |

18th Dec 2021 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |

Had been bubbling under prior to winning at Carlisle (2m4f, good) in October, and she ran at least as well when third over 3m there last month; a strong-traveller, she won't be inconvenienced by this drop back in distance and looks sure to go close again for her in-form yard. |

Hasn't quite found his best in three starts this winter, including at Doncaster last month with a visor back on, after more than a year off; becoming well handicapped and still time but others more obvious for now. |

29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |

Returned from a long absence in November and was an encouraging fourth over 3m at Taunton last month on his second start back; on a handy mark on his old form and today's drop back in trip may be a plus; could go well. |

30th Dec 2021 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |

Successful dual-purpose horse who ran up a hat-trick on the Flat in 2020, before being off for well over a year; 50-1 and probably ran as well as could be expected on his reappearance at Newbury (3m, good) last month; drops 4lb; well treated on 2019 jumps form but has a bit to prove. |

Steadily progressive this season (including on good ground), winning maiden hurdle at Kelso (2m, soft) last month then runner-up in Musselburgh handicap (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Day; could have more to offer and he's respected off just 1lb higher than last time. |

An 8yo in career-best form and it was a good Class 2 handicap that he won with authority at Kelso (2m5f, good) 18 days ago, for which he's been raised 7lb; Thomas Willmott rides again and he's a player. |

11st 12lb |
Chasing newcomer who is untested at this trip and unproven on slow ground, and he was tailed off over hurdles about three weeks ago; however, prior to that he returned from an absence with a good second at Southwell and this lightly raced 8yo is not written off in first-time cheekpieces. |

29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 8yo who returned from latest absence with good second at Southwell (2m4f, good) in November; may be able to build on that but he's in a hotter race today and will need a career best to get off the mark. |

Built on promise shown in good-ground novice hurdles to win on last month's handicap debut here (2m, soft); his nearest challenger fell at final flight so his 16l margin of victory flatters him, but a 6lb rise isn't harsh and he's open to further improvement, especially now back up in trip with him being a half-brother to his top yard's 3m Grade 1 winner Black Corton. |

Was dropped back in trip for his second hurdle start and showed improved form to finish a good second at Wincanton (1m7f, good; just ahead of Earth Company); this half-brother to Black Corton could continue to progress and his top trainer has a good record in this race; strong claims. |
