Faller on chase debut and pulled up over hurdles next time; underwent wind surgery ahead of his latest start at Ascot (2m7f, soft) and he delivered in emphatic style; 10lb rise demands much more but he can't be ruled out with this longer trip promising to suit. |

Went close at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft; 1lb higher today) in November; early faller on chase debut next time and ran poorly on heavy ground latest, given wind surgery soon afterwards; also beaten long way on all three starts on soft; visor (absent on last two outings) returns. |

27th Mar 2022 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Has improved since joining this yard, winning twice (3m/3m1f, good/good to soft) and again running well at Ascot (2m7f, soft) last time despite being beaten 12l in second; solid claims. |

2nd 6 |
19th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 7f 118y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Fair soft-ground Flat winner who's now translated that form to hurdles, winning at Ludlow (3m, good) and Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) on two of his three starts for new yard; raised another 10lb but he drew well clear on the run-in last time and could have more to offer. |

Drew nicely clear to score on stable debut at Ludlow (3m, good) in November and was a long way clear of the third when second at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) nine days ago; back in action before another 5lb rise takes effect and should be okay on today's slower ground; obvious contender. |

In good form since the autumn, notably when winning at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) in December; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current handicap mark but is versatile regarding ground and ought to give another good account. |

Ran really well on his final four starts last year, including on good ground, and he bagged a win at Wetherby (3m, good to soft); good chance he'll be bang there once more. |

Four novice hurdles this season, on the up at Wincanton (2m5f, good) in the autumn before a lesser show there (2m4f, good to soft) when 6-5 favourite late last month; with stamina in the family, this step up in trip for handicap debut has to be very interesting. |

Just too strong for short-odds rival when winning four-runner novice here in October and ran well in defeat here (also 2m5f, good) the following month; has the penalty to shoulder again today but the slightly shorter trip won't be a problem and he sets the hurdling standard. |

Veteran stayer who reverted to hurdling last month in first-time blinkers and was tailed off in a 2m7f handicap at Ascot (soft); down 4lb but looks vulnerable against younger rivals. |

7th 3 |
19th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 7f 118y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
11yo who hasn't found his top form this season and reverts to hurdling for first time since January 2019; usually wears cheekpieces but now tries blinkers; suited by 3m in the mud and he's so far down the weights that he cannot comfortably be left out of calculations. |

5th 6 |
10th Jan 2022 Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |

11yo who hasn't found his top form this season, but he's dropped down the weights and ran fairly well when an 18l second over C&D (good to soft) two starts ago; today's forecast slower ground is a plus and he's not ruled out; mid-race unseat at Haydock 11 days ago. |

Won over hurdles on this card a year ago and back to form, in first-time cheekpieces, when runner-up at Newbury last month; well beaten on only chasing attempt, in December 2019, so ability to transfer the latest effort not guaranteed; best on ground no quicker than good. |

Delivered late to win at Wincanton (2m5f, good) on reappearance; creditable fourth at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in December in another useful mares' handicap and she now looks well worth this step back up in trip; ran creditably (last term) sole start on soft, but withdrawn when it was soft at Ascot last month; considered. |

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. |

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. |

2-2 here, in a bumper (2m, soft) and a novice hurdle (2m3f, good); kept on for good third at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in January in his second handicap and he was bang there in a line of five when falling at the final flight at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) last time; key player off unchanged mark. |

23rd Feb 2022 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

The winner of a bumper (on soft) and two novice hurdles; well held in a good Ascot 2m7f handicap just before Christmas and perhaps found 2m3f on the tight side when a keeping-on third at Doncaster; that was a good effort and he should be right in the thick of things. |

19th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 7f 118y Class 3 |

Bumper win was his last start on soft; weakened when below form over C&D (Imphal second) in December following wind surgery; that's his only appearance over this sort of trip but there was plenty of the stayer about his performance when good third at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) on latest; not totally dismissed. |

Nothing too sinister about him running out at Warwick and he was again placed when no match for the winner in a C&D handicap a month ago (heavy); does look handicapped about right, though, and needs to find something from somewhere. |
