8th Apr 2022 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
2-3 over hurdles after last month's winning handicap debut at Hereford (3m1f, soft); that piece of form gives him a leading chance on the figures in this novice event, and he should be okay over today's shorter trip (first hurdle win was over 2m3f). |

12th Mar 2022 Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Placed in Irish point last spring and displayed good attitude to score on rules debut at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft) in November; slightly disappointing when upped to 3m at Kempton (soft) in January but still has potential, and good 5lb claimer Tom Buckley is booked for this handicap debut. |

15th Jan 2022 Soft 3m 0f 121y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won hurdle/stable debut when showing a good attitude at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft) in November; that form hasn't worked out but this longer trip is a plus and he's open to progress; should play a leading role. |

12th Mar 2022 Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Didn't make the progress that seemed likely after novice win in December 2020 but both handicap runs this winter were perfectly respectable; dropped another 2lb since last time and is not yet fully exposed over 3m+; probably won't be far away. |
5/1 |

20th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Hasn't progressed since winning Uttoxeter novice in December 2020 but made satisfactory seasonal debut when fifth at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month and remains unexposed at around 3m. |

21st Dec 2021 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Absent since a below-par run at Perth in April but he's had wind surgery since and this lightly raced novice hurdle winner (2m4f, soft) has potential off this mark on his handicap debut. |

11st 12lb |
1-9 over hurdles; didn't run to form at Newbury this month but his third at Hereford (3m1f, soft) two starts ago was a fairly good effort; dropped in trip/grade for today's chasing debut; tongue-tie fitted; not ruled out. |

12th Mar 2022 Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner who came good under rules with wide-margin win at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in December; only third when favourite for handicap debut there (3m1f, good; several flights omitted) in January but probably didn't enjoy the run of the race that day and can be given another chance. |
7/2 |

3rd 9 |
31st Jan 2022 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Irish point winner who made it third time lucky over hurdles with his emphatic success in a maiden here (2m4f, good) last month; takes a big step up in trip on his handicap debut but he looks on a fair mark and is open to further progress; strongly respected. |
5/2 |

1st 4 |
21st Dec 2021 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won Irish point last December (next three home have won hurdles/bumper since); soundly beaten on hurdle debut but his front-running fourth in a much better race at Lingfield last month (2m3f, good to soft) suggests he should be very competitive here. |

11st 7lb |
Won four in a row last season and added to his tally at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in November; back on a workable mark now and new jockey Jonjo O'Neill Jr presumably had the option to partner Bean In Trouble here but this 9yo looked very laboured when safely held on his last two appearances and needs to race with much greater zest today. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 |
23rd Feb 2022 Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Won four off the reel at the end of 2020 (2m3f-3m2f, including on soft and heavy); returned from wind surgery to win again at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) last November; could give him a chance based on penultimate run at Uttoxeter, but needs to be much better than at Hereford latest. |
6/1 |

4th 4 |
4th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Very progressive in late 2020 (four wins) and added to his tally on seasonal debut at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in November; posted another career best when close/clear second to Uttoxeter (2m7f, soft) last month and might still be improving. |

12th Mar 2022 Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
In good form since the autumn, notably when winning at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) in December; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current handicap mark but is versatile regarding ground and ought to give another good account. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
19th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 7f 118y Class 3 |

Solid record this season includes Wetherby win and Warwick second (3m2f, heavy) but he may now find that one or two are better handicapped. |
10/1 |

2nd Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Ran really well on his final four starts last year, including on good ground, and he bagged a win at Wetherby (3m, good to soft); good chance he'll be bang there once more. |

12th Mar 2022 Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Developed into a useful staying novice last season but generally disappointing this term; won't mind if there's rain about and is sliding down the weights but needs to turn things around. |
12/1 |
|
4th 5 |
12th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fifth in a trio of handicap hurdles to begin with this season, with a near-10l defeat at Sandown in December (2m7f, good to soft) probably the pick of them; in trouble from an early stage on chase debut since but is not on a bad mark if bouncing straight back now returned to hurdles. |
8/1 |
|
3 |
29th Jan 2022 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Fifth on all three hurdling starts this season, most notably in Class 2 Sandown handicap (2m7f, good to soft) on second occasion; slightly below that form at Haydock last time and today's forecast good ground is not sure to suit, but he makes his chasing debut from a good mark. |
11/2 |
