12th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up three times here in the first half of last year before finally coming good when shading a close finish in a 2m4f course maiden 25 days ago; should be very competitive back in a handicap, particularly if first-time cheekpieces give her a bit extra. |

15th Feb 2022 Heavy 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Ran well in a C&D mares' novice last May (good to soft) but she hasn't run to the same level this winter and this asks plenty of her. |
12/1 |
4th 4 |
30th Dec 2021 Heavy 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
0-8 under rules but she has gone close on several occasions and ran creditably after seven months off when third of six at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) three weeks ago; should be suited by this return to 3m; high on the list. |

Stepped up on her reappearance when third to the progressive Wakool over 3m here (soft) at the turn of the year; not the most consistent in recent times but she's a player if able to back that up; stable won this in 2020. |

2nd Jan 2022 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |

Pulled up on final start last season and made underwhelming reappearance in October; back on a workable mark now but has quite a bit to prove on this first run beyond about 2m5f. |

Won over C&D (soft) in February on penultimate start but 4lb higher today and that's clearly her best show this season; needs to be back in that peak form. |

Back to best a little out of the blue when resuming winning ways at Kelso (2m6f, soft) 22 days ago; nudged back up 4lb and has never won from a mark in the 90s. |

17th Apr 2022 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Yet to win for present yard, but is becoming very well handicapped and form of her latest fourth at Ayr (2m5f, soft) is solid; this ground shouldn't be a problem. |
11/4 |
4th 2 |
12th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Point, bumper and dual hurdle winner; claims on the form she showed when twice third in handicap hurdles for this yard last spring; disappointed when joint-favourite for her chase debut/reappearance in November but given time since and her stable has been back among the winners in recent days; no surprise to see her go well. |
7/1 |

5th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Point, bumper and dual hurdle winner; well handicapped on her best hurdles form but she missed last year and was a well-held third in the last two of her three runs for new yard last season; has bit to prove on chase debut and last two wins have come at 2m3f/2m4f. |

Took advantage of an easing mark when winning on the nod at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) and she added to her run of good efforts at this track when second over 3m (heavy) last month; probably at her very best over that sort of trip but she was runner-up in this contest last year; any rain in her favour. |

12th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Isn't necessarily the easiest to predict; ran reasonably well when fifth of 15 at Newcastle (2m7f) in January but she was well behind the reopposing Jessiemac when running poorly over 3m here since. |
8/1 |
7th 6 |
15th Feb 2022 Heavy 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Isn't necessarily the easiest to predict but she ran reasonably well until weakening from the second-last flight when fifth of 15 to Stoney Rover at Newcastle (2m7f) last time; competitively handicapped and 3-3 at this track (all on heavy in early 2018); possibilities. |

18th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |

Ended last season in poor form over fences and returned from ten-month break with two very underwhelming hurdle runs in December; on good mark now but needs to turn things around. |

Has won a bumper and a maiden hurdle, on soft and good ground respectively; well held on 2m4f Newcastle handicap debut in December but bounced back from that when fourth in a 2m3f Carlisle novice last month; has fewer convictions than a lot of these. |

7th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

11st 1lb |
Just 1-17 over hurdles but was back in peak form when third (just behind Rubytwo) off today's mark in quite valuable series final at Musselburgh (2m4f, good) last month and will be right in the thick of things if able to replicate that performance here. |

25th Mar 2022 Good 2m 3f 171y Class 2 |

Clearcut winner of this 12 months ago (on good to soft; fine on good) and won that on the back of a modest effort; 7lb higher but can deal with that; respected. |

12th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |

Gained her first win in a valuable series final (handicap) at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) last March; started this season with a pair of runner-up efforts in novices at Perth (2m/2m4f) and freshened up since a lesser run in a Hexham handicap in October. |

12th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland last winter; also placed in maiden chases there at a similar time last year but she's twice been pulled up over fences for new yard this winter; remains to be seen if a return to hurdles makes a difference. |
25/1 |

14th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 3f 51y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Ex-Irish mare who was placed in two slow-ground beginners' chases last March (2m4f/2m); predictably found Listed race far too hot on seasonal/stable debut in November but has her sights lowered here and market support will make her of interest. |
8/1 |
5 |
10th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last December for Sam Curling and showed promise over fences later last season; however, she faces a tough task on this stable debut and improvement is required. |
25/1 |
