Has run well at this trip on a few occasions but sole success came when dropped back to 2m at Newcastle in February (good to soft); fair efforts since and has an each-way chance. |

Had been knocking at the door for most of the season before coming good under Dillan Hurst at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) last month; that was a career best, and a 7lb rise does not look insurmountable. |

Has been in decent form this season with one exception and has each-way claims no matter what the ground; he is 0-16, though. |

Respectable second (off effectively 3lb lower) in C&D handicap on New Year's Eve; no banker to go one better, with record now 0-15, but again has place possibilities; change of headgear. |

Won against older horses on handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January; only third at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) since but he shapes as though he'll be suited by a strongly run race, which he should get today. |

Flat background and seemed to appreciate the good ground when winning narrowly at Doncaster (2m), despite racing freely; only 2lb higher so fair shout should conditions dry out. |

Did well to reel-in the subsequent winner Fulgurix (beat Blooriedotcom) when making a winning chasing debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) and is open to improvement from a 7lb higher mark; however, it's a distinct possibility that he ideally needs further than 2m, which does present a risk factor. |

Off the mark over hurdles in handicap at Catterick in February (2m3f, good) and creditable run over 2m last time; quite interesting on chase debut. |

Left previous form behind to run out a clearcut winner at Catterick (2m3f, good), coming home more than 5l to the good from Trouble Shooter; 5lb rise could have been worse. |

Well handicapped on his best form and this 11yo showed he retains some ability after a long absence when fifth of 11 over C&D 13 days ago, fading only from the last having raced freely; claims if he can build on that. |

10th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Five-time Flat winner who was out of form under both codes until a fair second over 2m3f at Catterick last month; however, a lesser run followed at Newcastle 12 days ago and he's back to having something to prove. |
14/1 |

26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 46y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Five-time Flat winner but was out of form under both codes until chasing home Myburg at Catterick (2m3f, good); can probably win a race over hurdles but perhaps placed at best in this one. |
12/1 |
2nd 8 |
4th Feb 2022 Good 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |

Tailed off on handicap hurdle debut at Hexham in November and was losing ground when falling two out over C&D on his latest hurdle start; well beaten on the Flat since and he's hard to make a case for. |

Second in a bumper but yet to be competitive over hurdles, beaten around 14l when seventh of 11 to Hungry Tiger at Newcastle last month; 9lb better off with that rival today so impossible to discount. |

Lightly raced bumper runner-up for whom the first-time cheekpieces and drop back in trip may be positives on this second handicap start; however, she's yet to threaten over hurdles and others are more compelling. |

No more than minor promise in two of her novices; gets in off a low mark for her handicap debut and cheekpieces are fitted, but would need to see some confidence behind her. |

11st 2lb |
Only 1-26 but following wind surgery he ran respectably at Fakenham (2m, soft), for all that he proved no match for the clearcut winner; one to consider though his strike-rate reduces the appeal. |
5/1 |
2nd 4 |
9th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Regularly in contention but he typically found little when down the field over hurdles at Musselburgh last time; however, he's since had wind surgery, and if that has a positive effect he's a contender back over fences; sole win from 25 starts came over C&D. |

His last Flat win was in August 2019 and he's struggled under both codes in his last ten runs; hurdle record stands at 0-8 and can only be watched back in this sphere. |

Doesn't win very often but has made the frame three consecutive times this spring, most recently when third at Carlisle (2m3f, good) two weeks ago; effectively 4lb lower from correct mark here; cheekpieces refitted; untested beyond 2m5f but has claims if his stamina holds out. |
