12th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at the fourth attempt when holding on grimly under Bridget Andrews at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) last month; faces tougher opposition on this first start in handicaps; tongue-tie added. |
20/1 |

1st 3 |
8th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced point winner (3m, yielding) who returned to form when runner-up at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) last month on his second start back from a long absence; leading claims today in his bid to go one better. |
5/4 |

2nd 5 |
20th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Point winner (3m, yielding) who was a promising fourth on rules debut at Warwick (2m5f, good) in October 2020; then absent until fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) last month and, while he needs a bigger performance today, he's in top hands and could improve for that run. |

17th Mar 2022 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Caught the eye when placed on hurdles debut here (2m; 28-1) in November, and has continued to progress since; only narrowly beaten by a stablemate of Camdonian at Market Rasen (2m4f) five weeks ago; major player. |

8th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Promising thirds towards the end of last year on his first two hurdle starts (2m/2m3f, soft/good to soft); this unexposed 5yo may have more to offer but such improvement is needed if he's to come out on top today. |
6/1 |

29th Dec 2021 Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |

Has shown signs of promise in a bumper and novice hurdle, both at Hexham, but would be a surprise winner here. |

11st 6lb |
His 5l fourth to Hillcrest (prominent in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett betting) last November now reads well but he has failed to build on that in two further starts at Uttoxeter and Market Rasen; having said that, he looks likely to pick up some prize money in this weak contest. |

8th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up on debut in bumper here (2m, good) last April and promising fourth at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) in a novice hurdle that has worked out extremely well; underwhelming at Uttoxeter since but perhaps soft ground was the reason; could bounce back with big run if today's conditions suit. |

led narrowly or disputed lead, not fluent 4th, saddle slipped home turn, soon ridden, headed approaching last, rallied run-in, led towards finish, won going away (trainer said, regards the apparent improvement in form, this was the mare's handicap debut and she also benefitted from the first-time application of blinkers) |

8th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won a bumper at Thurles (2m, heavy) last February for Willie Mullins before finishing down the field in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham; tailed off on stable/hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in November and something to prove after that, but he's had a wind op and is not written off. |

29th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |

Won heavy-ground bumper at Thurles for Willie Mullins in February, his second start, but seemed to have his limitations exposed in stronger bumpers afterwards and was very disappointing favourite on stable/hurdle debut at Newcastle on Saturday (burst blood vessel); non-runner |

Hasn't achieved much at all so far, with his best run first time out in a bumper; outclassed against the best of these. |

Fairly encouraging debut in bumper here last February but well beaten the next twice, over hurdles most recently; others preferred. |

6th Jan 2022 Heavy 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Showed some ability in a Market Rasen bumper (soft) on his debut last February but he failed to build on that when 66-1 at the same track in November; now switches to to hurdles and is probably best watched. |
33/1 |
