5th Mar 2022 Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Chasing on last six starts and won three, including from the front over 3m at Exeter (heavy) and Sandown (good to soft) on last two outings; the latter was by just a head but he kept on well to hold off a course specialist and it would be no surprise if this 4lb higher mark proves within his compass. |

1st 4 |
5th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Won over hurdles in 2019 on sole start at Sandown; last two wins have been on heavy going, with a big career best when he made most to go in by nearly 8l at Exeter (3m) on latest outing; up 9lb and in grade but he is probably not fully exposed at this trip. |

Heavy-ground winner last season and finished well for second on his first attempt over 3m on good to soft here two months ago; only 2lb higher and needs respecting. |

9th Apr 2022 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
All starts on softer than good, acts on heavy; has a fantastic record over fences at Sandown, including a fractional defeat in this season's 3m5f London National, but at other tracks it is severely lacking; a hefty career best is needed. |
66/1 |

2nd 2 |
5th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Pulled up last time, which can probably be forgiven seeing as it was the Welsh National; although he's run badly too many times for comfort, his only three appearances at Sandown were wins in this race in 2020 and 2021 and a fractional defeat in this season's London National; back on career-high mark but has to be respected back at this track. |
11/2 |

27th Dec 2021 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 1 |
10st 0lb |
Last season saw him win once and pulled up three times; has gone close in his two starts this term, rallying very well off today's mark when touched off by Highland Hunter at Sandown (upped to 3m5f) last time; goes well in the mud; player if that latest effort is repeated. |

8th Apr 2022 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 0lb |
Won three 2m4f handicaps on the spin last season (good-soft) and was back in the good books when winning a 3m handicap at Kempton that has worked out terrifically well; not sure what happened back there last time out but the yard is winning valuable handicaps for fun this season and he's an interesting newcomer to these fences; 2lb wrong. |
14/1 |

8th 10 |
26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Won three in a row last March (good-soft) and returned to winning ways over C&D (soft) in December, a race that has worked out extremely well; beaten in third at Sandown (3m, good to soft) subsequently but that was still a solid performance and this progressive 8yo is on the shortlist. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
5th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Registered a hat-trick last spring, with the second leg at this track, and he resumed his progress with a win at Kempton this Christmas (3m, soft; has won on good); up 4lb but is one to take seriously. |

5th Mar 2022 Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
First four chase starts over 3m-3m2f at Cheltenham, appearing to run very well on first attempt until he crashed into the rails on run-in; took a backward step on the fourth of those outings and also below form when he wore cheekpieces (retained today) behind Le Milos at Sandown on latest start; competitive if he's back firing on all cylinders. |

All four chase starts over 3m-3m2f at Cheltenham, appearing to run very well on first attempt until he crashed into the rails on run-in; took a backward step on latest outing and now wears headgear first time; youngster who should have more to give but others are preferred this time. |

5th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Ex-French 7yo who is 2-5 in Britain, the wins gained in good style over 2m4f on soft ground at Sandown; below par over 3m there last time; may have more to offer back down in trip and remains of interest. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 |
5th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-French 7yo who is 2-4 in Britain and both those wins were gained in good style at Sandown (2m4f, soft); raised another 6lb since the latest four weeks ago; this is nearly half a mile further than he's been before, which gives him a fair bit more to prove, but he could still be on the up. |

29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Ex-French 7yo who is 2-4 in Britain, the wins gained at Sandown (2m4f, soft) last March and on latest outing; possibly just needed his reappearance run in the Racing Post Gold Cup here in between; raised 6lb for latest success but Lucy Turner takes off 7lb; open to further progress. |

28th Mar 2022 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |

Very smart in his prime but has looked out of sorts on all three appearances this season; dropped in grade with first-time cheekpieces tried today; urgently needs to prove some ability remains. |

5th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 2 |

5th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Lightly raced 9yo who returned from another layoff to win in good style at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) in November; has gone up 8lb and stringing together two big runs in a row asks a question, given his interrupted career, but he looks good on his day. |

29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Lightly raced 9yo who returned from another layoff to win in good style at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) in November; has also won on good going; has gone up 8lb and, having had an interrupted career, there's a concern about whether he can string together two big runs in a row, but given his dominance last time he has to be respected for his top connections. |
13/2 |

27th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Won this race by 10l on soft ground as a 5yo in 2018; only 3lb higher today, so he's thrown in with a repeat of that form, but that's having run only three times since; latest was when weakening into 20l seventh in this race one year ago; with top yard but questions to answer. |

10st 9lb |
Runner-up when upped to 3m on a sharp track over hurdles on handicap debut last February; has run in two 2m4f novice handicap chases this season, winning at Aintree before close third of four at Ayr where he rallied very well after losing his chance with a very bad landing four out; without mishaps, he's surely capable of winning something off this unchanged mark. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 |
21st Dec 2021 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Lightly raced point winner who improved for the switch to fences when winning at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) last month; today's race looks weaker and a 4lb rise may prove to be lenient; also effective on soft ground. |
4/6 |
|
1st 8 |
6th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Makes chase debut in a competitive race and was tailed off over hurdles last time out in April; however, he was previously a good second on his handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (3m, soft) and the unexposed point winner may improve for the switch to fences. |
16/1 |
