31st Mar 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Leicester (2m, soft) in February before a disappointing run at Kelso (2m1f, soft) 16 days later; there's a major rethink on trip today but he was effective over 3m in points and he has a staying pedigree; unexposed and could have untapped potential at this distance if returning to form. |
4/1 |

5th 3 |
5th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Second to Wheelbahri at Catterick (1m7f, good) last month when back down in trip on second chase start, then went one better under Lewis Dobb at Leicester (2m, soft); may have more to offer and he's respected up 4lb. |
7/2 |

17th Feb 2022 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Maiden after 14 starts; runner-up in six of those, the latest at Catterick this month; visor tried there replaced with returning cheekpieces; acts on soft and enters the argument but element of doubt until he proves he has what it takes to win. |

Runner-up on three of his five outings over fences, including when narrowly beaten at Sedgefield last time (2m1f, good to soft); now 3lb higher but has a chance. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
8th Apr 2022 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
12st 5lb |
Maiden; runner-up on last two runs over fences, going down narrowly at Leicester (2m, soft) before seeming not to stay 2m3f on heavy at Exeter last time; one to consider back in trip. |

13th Apr 2022 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won off 1lb higher over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last March but has mixed record since and was a well-held fifth of eight when favourite over fences at Leicester (2m4f; second run after wind surgery) last month; has had only three runs in this sphere but she's yet to prove his stamina at this sort of trip and others are more convincing. |
13/2 |

5th 5 |
1st Mar 2022 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Shaped encouragingly after a wind op on just her second chase start when third in 2m handicap here 12 days ago; this fair 2m winner over hurdles is well worth considering now stepping back up in trip. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
17th Feb 2022 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won off this mark over hurdles last March; couple of fair efforts in the autumn but was tailed off on her chasing debut six weeks ago; subsequent wind operation needs to have a beneficial effect. |

17th May 2022 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Admirable veteran; notched a 13th win from 99 starts over fences (also 3-10 over hurdles) when determinedly running down a stablemate in blustery conditions over C&D (soft) in April; 2lb higher, and is likely to appreciate any further easing of the ground conditions. |

|
1st 5 |
11th Apr 2022 Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
12yo who has regressed over the last two seasons but he's been a fair fourth the last twice (both 2m, soft) and has been dropped a further 4lb since; has won over C&D and might not be far away. |
7/2 |

15th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Not the force of old but has won nine times here and wasn't disgraced when fourth over C&D (soft) 19 days ago; should give a good account but others more persuasive. |

17th Feb 2022 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
More than two years since he won but has been beaten less than ten lengths in his latest three starts, including back over fences at Plumpton last month; should be involved but habit of jumping to his left no help around here. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
31st Jan 2022 Good 2m 0f 214y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; comfortably held in three handicap chases at right-handed tracks in the autumn but jumped left on the final occasion and may well improve on this left-handed course; subsequently not disgraced in two handicap hurdles, latest here (2m); interesting off a reduced mark. |
3/1 |
|
4th 7 |
19th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Confidence restored with a 7l third returned to hurdles at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve (2m, heavy), if never quite fully convincing his much-reduced mark would be cashed in on; tempting here all the same, considering his peak RPR of 113 was recorded in a C&D 0-120 (good) last season. |

24th Mar 2022 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |

Not in top form here last week and has to raise his game, but he's won at this track in the month of March in each of the last three seasons. |
13/2 |

5th 7 |
16th Mar 2022 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Gained all three wins here, including this race in 2020 and a 2m success a year ago; out of form this season and competes from 4lb out of the weights today but the return to this track is an obvious plus. |

17th Feb 2022 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Well beaten over hurdles at Plumpton latest and was badly out of sorts over fences last spring (for Dan Skelton); however, he's unbeaten in three visits to this track, all over hurdles and the most recent in December; hard to rule out given that statistic. |
5/1 |

15th Feb 2022 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
All three wins at Leicester, including on soft; has form on other tracks but was well below his best at Plumpton last month and has something to prove after that. |
11/1 |

6th 10 |
2nd Jan 2022 Heavy 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Ex-Dan Skelton gelding; reportedly enjoyed the return to soft ground when beating three rivals at Leicester, making it 3-3 at that track; well handicapped off 2lb higher if able to continue the good work. |

14th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 0f 12y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Three-time course winner, including this race in both 2018 and 2019; lacks consistency now but he'll be happier back down in trip round here and is likely to give it another good go, probably from the front. |
12/1 |

5th 7 |
1st Mar 2022 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Four wins at up to 2m2f on a variety of ground, most recently at Bangor in January; however, he has yet to convince over staying trips and was well held off a lower mark in this race last year. |
16/1 |
