13th Apr 2022 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Sole defeat came at the hands of the now very smart handicapper Onemorefortheroad; not hard pressed to win small-field novices the last twice and it was good to see the latest runner-up win his next two, albeit minor events at odds-on; this stronger company should test his mettle but he's going the right way. |

4th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won his sole bumper (2m, good) and, having been a close second on October's hurdle debut at Stratford (2m, good), he went one better in a three-runner novice at Kempton (2m, good) the following month; slow ground beckons today and he carries a penalty, but he could continue to progress. |

22nd Nov 2021 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Well-bred 4yo who created good impression when comfortably winning good-ground Huntingdon bumper by over 8l on debut in May; found useful rival just too strong when odds-on for last month's hurdle debut at Stratford (2m, good) but was clear of the others and remains very much of interest. |

23rd Apr 2022 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Has won his last two from the front and Jack Andrews was aboard when he comfortably conceded weight to Hasty Parisian at Ffos Las (good) 16 days ago; fluent jumper who likes this ground and doesn't look too harshly treated. |

Flattered by finishing in such close proximity (within 9l) to Jonbon at Newbury on penultimate start, yet in the context of this race that was a pleasing effort; unable to land the odds at Doncaster (2m, soft) on return from wind surgery, but sets the form standard and should find these forecast drier conditions more favourable. |

9th Apr 2022 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Very unexposed 5yo who won easily on last spring's Irish point debut and displayed some promise when third in a novice hurdle in January; looks interesting on today's chase/handicap debut; market may guide. |
7/2 |

3rd 5 |
4th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won his sole point last May and, having been pulled up on his rules debut, he took a step in the right direction at Catterick in January; was still soundly beaten, however, and others have far stronger claims. |
25/1 |

3rd 5 |
26th Jan 2022 Good 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Clearcut winner of a maiden point in Ireland last May; pulled up on his rules debut in novice hurdle at Market Rasen (2m5f, soft; 10-1) in December, but not before helping to take the field along at a strong pace; he's since had wind surgery and could prove a different proposition today. |

4th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
AW bumper winner who was a fair third over C&D (good) last month on his second hurdle start, when racing freely in front; further improvement is possible but necessary to make a serious impact in this line-up. |
11/1 |

3rd 4 |
10th Feb 2022 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Early bumper promise before winning one on AW; overfaced at Cheltenham last March and ran as if the run was needed when favourite on C&D hurdle debut for this yard two weeks ago; can play more of a part here. |
11/2 |

6th 4 |
28th Jan 2022 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when winning AW bumper at Newcastle last February, and subsequent heavy defeat at Cheltenham Festival can easily be overlooked; makes hurdling debut after ten-month absence but no surprise if he features; owner-trained last season; now with Fergal O'Brien. |

11th Mar 2022 Good 2m 0f 46y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Encouraging runs late last year in his two bumpers (1m7f, good/good to soft); there's potential in his pedigree and he's open to improvement on hurdle debut. |

4th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Encouraging runs late last year in his two bumpers (1m7f, good/good to soft); there's potential in his pedigree and he's open to improvement on hurdle debut, but he needs a sizeable step forward to threaten the top two. |
20/1 |
