Patchy profile over the last 12 months and his jumping lacked fluency when well beaten in third at Doncaster last month; however, the returning cheekpieces could help his jumping and he's dropped to a mark 15lb lower than when a fair fifth in this race last year; capable of going well. |

Returned to form with a fine second when back on better ground in a competitive handicap at Kempton (3m, good to soft) last time out; hampered late on and unlucky not to win the bet365 Gold Cup over 3m5f at Sandown (good) last April, and this 6yo has the credentials to be a major player today. |

26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Pulled up in Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) in November and there's been no return to peak form here the last twice; however, they were his first encounters with soft ground and his reduced mark appeals on form as recent as October, when a fine second twice in a row (2m7f/3m, good/good to soft); possibilities now back on less testing ground. |

15th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 0lb |
Creditable in the Fred Winter over 2m here three years ago; has done well over fences for up-and-coming yard, winning twice over 2m4f (good/soft) before held up to get the new trip of 3m at Kempton 17 days ago, apparently seeing it out well; has a bigger stamina query here; 2lb out of the handicap. |

26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Won at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in December and, after a first-fence fall next time, he made it 2-4 in chases when scoring at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft); those wins came in small-field Class 3s and he's up in trip/grade today, but both runners-up won next time out and he could have more left in the tank. |

Dug deep to beat Jacamar at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in December and, after a first-fence fall next time, he made it 2-4 in chases when scoring at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft); those wins came in small-field Class 3s but both runners-up won next time out and this fellow could have more left in the tank. |

26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Pulled up last time out in December but he made a bad mistake at the fifth fence and it was his first run at Cheltenham; very much of interest on his form towards the end of last season, when winning at Newbury (2m7f, good to soft) and first past the post in the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (3m5f, good; demoted); could bounce back with a big run in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

10th Dec 2021 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Travelled well then perhaps idled in front when first past the post at Newbury (2m7f) and Sandown (major 3m5f race; demoted due to interference) on his final two runs last season; 4lb rise since Sandown may well prove lenient but he couldn't prove it in top handicap at Newbury 13 days ago, falling before push came to shove; one to note. |

26th Mar 2022 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Has held his own in some strong handicaps this season, perhaps most notably when second in Cheltenham Grade 3 (2m4f, good) in late January; respectable fifth when upped to 3m for another Grade 3 at Kempton last month and must be considered in these calmer waters. |
11/4 |
|
5th 11 |
26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Unraced beyond an extended 2m4f and he's 0-5 in handicaps this season; however, he's run some solid races (on good-soft), including when second over Cheltenham's stiff, extended 2m4f last month; this 6yo can be in the mix if finding some improvement for today's trip, which is possible. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |

Not disgraced in two major handicaps over 2m4f here this term, finishing fifth in the Paddy Power in November and sixth on New Year's Day; has edged back down to a tempting mark and this may be the time to catch him, as he won the Grade 2 juvenile hurdle on this card in 2020; respected. |

0-8 over fences and, having returned from a long absence this season, he hasn't quite managed to recapture his very best old form; however, he's run some solid races over 2m4f (good/good to soft) and perhaps today's step up in trip will help him unlock some of his previous ability; not discounted. |

10st 13lb |
Found his form again late last year, including two wins at Wetherby, before a lesser show at Kempton six weeks ago; the latter win was in plucky fashion from Lord Du Mesnil and Top Ville Ben over 3m (soft) but he's unraced beyond 3m1f and this trip asks a tough question. |
28/1 |
|
7th 1 |
26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Climbing the weights but for good reason, having won two competitive handicaps at Wetherby (2m3f/3m, soft/good to soft) towards the end of last year with a near-miss at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in between; this prominent racer is a solid candidate. |
14/1 |

1st 5 |
26th Dec 2021 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 1 |

Made it 3-4 at Wetherby (heavy-good to soft) over 2m3f in October and went very close in the Rehearsal at Newcastle (extended 2m7f, good to soft) last month, when keeping on well and proving his stamina for this sort of trip; up 5lb for last time but respected nevertheless. |

10st 0lb |
Won three 2m4f handicaps on the spin last season (good-soft) and was back in the good books when winning a 3m handicap at Kempton that has worked out terrifically well; not sure what happened back there last time out but the yard is winning valuable handicaps for fun this season and he's an interesting newcomer to these fences; 2lb wrong. |
14/1 |
|
8th 10 |
26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Won three in a row last March (good-soft) and returned to winning ways over C&D (soft) in December, a race that has worked out extremely well; beaten in third at Sandown (3m, good to soft) subsequently but that was still a solid performance and this progressive 8yo is on the shortlist. |
7/1 |

3rd 7 |
5th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Registered a hat-trick last spring, with the second leg at this track, and he resumed his progress with a win at Kempton this Christmas (3m, soft; has won on good); up 4lb but is one to take seriously. |

26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Made winning chase debut at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in October and added another win there (2m4f, heavy) last month; that latest form reads well so a 9lb rise may not beat him; progressive and has shown signs of promise on good to soft but is particularly well suited by soft/heavy. |

1st 7 |
21st Jan 2022 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Lucky to win over nearly 3m here (soft) on his chase debut but it was a good race in which he finished fourth on his return visit and it was also competitive last time at Ascot, where on good to soft ground the trip of 2m3f was probably an inadequate test; looks a shade high in the weights but plenty of positives otherwise. |
5/1 |

18th Dec 2021 Good To Soft 2m 2f 175y Class 2 |

Lucky to win over nearly 3m at Lingfield (soft) on chase debut and could finish only fourth on return visit; that form is working out but he was beaten 9l and is off the same mark here; return to shorter is a further concern. |

2nd Apr 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Inconsistent since his Grade 2 novice success in 2018, as his form figures (36P) for current yard reflect; however, has a good chance in this field provided he's back on song; third off 4lb higher in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham in November. |

26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Inconsistent 10yo who was below par last time and is unproven at this trip; however, he finished well for third at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in November on his first run for Paul Nicholls and on that evidence he's worth another go at 3m; on a handy mark and is not ruled out; has won on good/soft. |

11th Dec 2021 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |

Inconsistent since his Grade 2 novice success at this venue in November 2018 but, following wind surgery, he stayed on for third in the Paddy Power here last month (debut for Paul Nicholls) and has a leading chance if building on that effort; cheekpieces reapplied; still on a workable mark. |

Hasn't always convinced with his jumping and it'll be put under pressure today; however, he has plenty of strong chase form and was a creditable third when back over hurdles at Newbury (3m, good to soft) recently; could play a leading role if jumping fluently; cheekpieces refitted, first-time tongue-tie added. |
15/2 |

3rd 1 |
12th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
In the process of running well when he fell at the final fence against Bravemansgame (runs 1.15 here today) at Newton Abbot on reappearance; something soon looked amiss when he wore cheekpieces in two-runner race at Sandown next time, though, and he had wind surgery three days later; has a good mark if back to his best for this return to hurdling. |
8/1 |

2nd 2 |
7th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Didn't really fulfil potential as a novice chaser, pulled up behind Chantry House at Aintree in April, but he would have run right up to his best but for falling at the last at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) on his reappearance; now wears cheekpieces; receives 6lb from his only rival and likely to give him a race with guaranteed fitness on his side. |

Led final strides over 3m1f on soft in January 2020 on his final start over hurdles, whereas most of his seven-race chase career has been at up to 2m5f; any former impression of untapped potential as a stayer has not been backed up this term and he crashed out at the third fence on latest outing. |

Lightly raced 9yo who returned to form with good second to Annsam at Ascot (3m, good to soft) in December and went one better there (2m5f, soft) last month when clear with a very solid yardstick; last time was a career best and he could have more to offer; respected up 6lb. |

Ended 2021 with two good runs over fences at Cheltenham (2m4f, good/good to soft) and he's on a handy mark now back over hurdles; pulled up in chases the last twice and the return to hurdles (over which he's won four times) may reignite some spark, but he has something to prove in terms of current form. |

Untested at this trip and was pulled up at Cheltenham on New Year's Day; however, he made two bad mistakes in a row last time and he shaped at Cheltenham (2m4f, good/good to soft) on his two previous starts as though today's step up in distance could prompt some improvement; one to consider. |

Fair third off this mark over hurdles at Newbury in November and won off 5lb higher over fences at Ascot in December; made mistakes when pulled up over fences at Kempton three weeks ago; he'll need a hurdling career-best if he's to come out on top in this competitive field. |

Kicked off campaign with two solid runs over hurdles (including here) and showed improved form when back over fences and winning at Ascot (3m, good to soft) in December; that form has been franked by the runner-up Phoenix Way and this unexposed 7yo could be a key player up 6lb. |
