14th Mar 2022 Soft 3m 4f 85y Class 3 |

Made the most of his lower chase mark when leading late on over 2m7f here (good to soft) three weeks ago; up 5lb but he has a feather weight and this trip promises to suit. |
5/1 |

22nd Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Hurdle winner over this trip last summer and he wasn't far away at Market Rasen recently; has a lower chase mark and looks one of the better ones on the form of his fair C&D run off 9lb higher last midwinter. |

12st 0lb |
Opened chasing account over C&D (good) in December and added to his tally at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) this month; still well handicapped on older hurdling form; commands respect. |
6/4 |
1st 5 |
14th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has taken well to fences, scoring at Wincanton (2m4f) before edged out over 2m7f at Taunton 20 days ago; cheekpieces go on for the first time now and he's shortlisted. |
3/1 |
2nd 5 |
22nd Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won a shade cosily on return to fences at Wincanton (2m4f, good) but outpointed when third there next time (winner in fine fettle since); needs more to turn placings round with the second Larkbarrow Lad on first go beyond about 2m5f. |

0-11 over fences but placed on both starts since fitted with blinkers this year, more recently when creditable third over C&D (good to soft) nine days ago; due to go up 1lb for that; obvious contender if in similar form again. |

11th May 2022 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won (off this mark) on his chasing debut but no success since; well held at Chepstow last month when tackling good ground for the first time; cheekpieces return (tailed off only previous attempt in them). |
|
3rd 4 |
2nd Apr 2022 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Made bright start to chasing career last winter but, following a layoff, his two runs in February were no better than respectable; needs to find something extra here and is unraced on ground quicker than good to soft. |
9/2 |
4th 4 |
22nd Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won Irish point and made successful chase debut at Huntingdon in December 2020 (2m4f, soft); has flickered in and out of form since but his return from a layoff at Fontwell 15 days ago (2m3f, good to soft) was better; should be no problem with this trip; bang there. |

11th May 2022 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
The step up to 2m7f at Taunton in February should have suited but he folded tamely in the closing stages and remains a maiden; definitely has the ability to win races and perhaps cheekpieces will bring out more. |
11/2 |
5th 9 |
22nd Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Some promise in 2m novice hurdles; well held when unseating late on chase debut at Chepstow but siblings include classy Chantry House and others who stayed well so some hopes that this big step up in trip will suit. |
7/1 |
6 |
19th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Just four career starts and placed in two of three hurdling efforts, the latest when creditable third at Stratford last month; connections wasting little time in sending him over fences and this close relative of high-class chaser Chantry House could well improve for the switch. |

22nd Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Minor form in a bumper and novice/maiden hurdles; hard to know what she's capable of now handicap/chasing but there are some useful jumpers in her pedigree. |
50/1 |
5 |
12th Feb 2022 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Unexposed mare who displayed minor promise on the second of her three runs in novice/maiden hurdles (2m4f-2m7f); almost certainly needs to improve to make winning chase/handicap debut here but is well worth a glance in the betting. |
25/1 |

19th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Showed more last time (2m4f, good to soft) than on her hurdling debut, but that still leaves her with plenty to find against the principals here; looks more of a long-term prospect. |

12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner in 2021, latterly off 4lb higher at Hereford (3m1f, good) in November; looked suited by return to good ground when running well for a long way at Exeter (3m) last month; must be considered here. |

Hunter chase winner last spring who made winning return from break at Hereford in November (3m1f, good); can excuse his 3m5f Fakenham defeat since and not dismissed back at shorter on more conventional track. |

22nd Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won two hurdles and a chase in Ireland and is well treated on his form over fences in September 2020; however, after running his best race for a while in a Musselburgh hurdle on New Year's Day, he was pulled up a long way out at Exeter this month; now has something to prove back chasing. |
8/1 |

2nd Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Irish winner (including on good ground) who returned to form when second of six on stable debut at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) on New Year's Day; was clear with the unexposed winner and he's a solid candidate off his unchanged mark. |

22nd Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Continues to drop in the weights but he doesn't see much action these days and has been a weak finisher at 3m and back at 2m4f in recent starts (visor replaced cheekpieces last time, retained); has work to do. |
11/1 |
5th 1 |
10th Feb 2022 Good 2m 4f 115y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Would have a fine chance on old form but sparingly raced now and has had three wind surgeries; faded out of the picture back over fences at Newcastle last month and no great appeal with visor replacing cheekpieces. |
7/1 |
