16th Apr 2022 Good 2m 4f 198y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Took 17 attempts to open his account over fences but did so by 29l at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in February, and doubled up over that same C&D a few days later; had to settle for fourth in valuable series final here (2m4f, good) last month but that still goes down as a good effort, and he may still have more to offer. |

10st 0lb |
Took 17 attempts to open his account over fences but did so by 29l at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) last month, and doubled up over that same C&D a few days later; moves up in grade and is 1lb out of the weights today but he'll be fine on the quicker surface and something seems to have clicked. |

6th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Successful in novice handicap over C&D (soft) ten days ago, opening his chase account at the 17th attempt; not exactly an unexposed type but he gave the firm impression that a 7lb rise is surmountable; respected kept to same track and trip. |

30th Apr 2022 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won over hurdles here (2m, soft) last year and seemed to be getting his act together over fences when keeping-on fourth at Sedgefield (2m5f, good to soft) in February but this month's run at Kelso was disappointing and it's hard to know what to expect from him here. |

3rd May 2022 Good 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Fell at the final fence at Catterick three starts back before making all for a first career win (here, 2m3f, good; 7lb lower mark) on penultimate start; unable to successfully deploy those tactics over C&D last time (third), albeit that was another perfectly respectable effort; live contender. |
6/4 |
3rd 4 |
8th Apr 2022 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Off the mark on tenth run over fences when scoring over 2m3f here last time (good) having run well in first-time cheekpieces over same trip the previous time; drop in trip not sure to suit and now 7lb higher in a better race; cheekpieces on for second time. |

24th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Narrow winner of a similar race at Ffos Las (2m5f, soft) in November; might have found 3m stretching his stamina last time and return to this sort of trip should suit; has to enter calculations. |
9/2 |
4th 7 |
1st Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Point winner who opened his rules account in novice handicap chase here (2m5f, soft; won narrowly) in November; beaten favourite over hurdles last time (2m7f) but may have more to offer back in this sphere; remains of interest. |

24th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Point winner who has made no impact in four starts over hurdles; tongue tie fitted for chasing debut off very feasible mark and represents a stable which has been in red-hot form; has to be of interest and very much one to note in the betting. |
4/1 |

25th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Winning 2m4f pointer on heavy; little of note in 2m7f and 2m hurdles but this is a more realistic opening now switched to a handicap in first-time cheekpieces; worth market check for in-form yard. |
10/1 |
8th 13 |
15th Jan 2022 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won a heavy-ground point on debut in March 2020 but she has shown little in two outings under rules and others have more obvious claims; stablemate of Fishing For Likes. |

24th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |

French import who has struggled since joining current yard and fell at the first at Market Rasen 16 days ago; has to give lumps of weight away and makes little appeal. |

24th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Runner-up on all three starts over fences, latterly when just touched off at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft); up 2lb but has the valuable assistance of Brian Hughes and looks one of the more solid options. |
11/4 |
2nd 7 |
30th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Didn't hang about for long over hurdles and has finished second in his first two chases, at Plumpton (2m3f, good to soft) and Huntingdon (2m4f, heavy) last month; might well have a bigger run in him if the reduced emphasis on stamina here suits; major player. |
11/4 |
2nd 6 |
26th Dec 2021 Heavy 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Didn't spend long over hurdles and he showed some promise on his recent chase debut at Plumpton, keeping on well to take second over this sort of trip (good to soft); may do better in this sphere and that doesn't apply to many in here. |
11/4 |
