2nd Apr 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Has form figures of 1221 in completed chase starts, the silver medals gained in 2m Grade 2 novice events behind notable rivals Edwardstone and Third Time Lucki; defied top weight in Newcastle handicap back over 2m4f last time, looking better than ever; has the best chance at the weights. |

26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Not at his best when beaten a distance last time but had previously run well behind Arkle favourite Edwardstone in another Grade 2 novice (Kempton); that's strong form and entitles him to serious consideration off this mark; has been running over 2m but this trip shouldn't bother him at all. |

29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 0f 78y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
No match for Edwardstone in Grade 2 novice at Kempton (2m, soft) latest but the winner is exciting and this fellow showed strong form in finishing best of the rest; has won on good to soft, unraced on good; respected. |

2nd Apr 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Successful in similar event at Haydock (2m4f) in January; only fourth of five when favourite in same grade at Kempton five weeks ago but actually wasn't disgraced on RPRs; consistent on the whole and has the ability to go well despite 5lb penalty. |
9/4 |
4th 1 |
26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Made it 5-10 under rules when comfortably landing Grade 2 at Haydock (2m4f, soft) last month, when suited by the step back up in trip; won on good ground over hurdles and he's a strong candidate under his 5lb penalty. |
9/4 |
1st 2 |
22nd Jan 2022 Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Admirably consistent performer who endured a rare blip at Sandown last time but that was in a Grade 1, a level at which he was runner-up last year at Aintree (2m4f); the highest rated of these and returning to this longer trip is probably a good thing; won't be far away. |

2nd Apr 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Ex-French youngster who was impressive in Newbury handicap (2m) on second run for Paul Nicholls; mixed results since but shaped better than the bare form suggests in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham most recently; this return to 2m4f is worth exploring, judged on pedigree; may rate higher yet. |
4/1 |
8th 12 |
16th Mar 2022 Good 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Ex-French youngster who is 1-4 in Britain, the win gained in impressive fashion at Newbury in November (last handicap start); could be dangerous if he shows that sort of spark back in a handicap scenario. |
20/1 |
3rd 4 |
23rd Jan 2022 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Needs to bounce back from last month's very disappointing Grade 1 run but impressed when readily winning Newbury handicap (2m, good to soft) by over 6l in November, his second British start, and remains very much of interest; won over hurdles on heavy ground when trained in France. |

7th Apr 2022 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Successful in 2m4f handicaps at Kempton on Boxing Day and Leicester last month; found things harder in Grade 2 at Ayr last Saturday; faces another difficult task. |
33/1 |
4th 5 |
2nd Apr 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Record of 2-4 (in handicaps) since wearing cheekpieces, the wins gained over 2m4f at Kempton on Boxing Day and Leicester last month; has the worst chance on ratings but not by a great deal and he may have more to offer in the retained headgear; not dismissed. |

2nd Apr 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Successful in two novice events during the winter, then found life harder in the Ultima at Cheltenham where he was beaten when blundering two out (soon pulled up); seems a tad more exposed than these rivals, with a chase record of 2-10, and has 3lb penalty. |
11/2 |

15th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Mid-division in the Plate last March (2m4f); in better form since and, if anything, he added to his reputation when travelling strongly for a long way behind top novices at Kempton on Boxing Day (3m, soft); subsequent win (with cheekpieces added) was over 2m4f, though, and stamina for this far is unproven; headgear retained. |
20/1 |
1st 1 |
5th Feb 2022 Good 2m 4f 68y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Plenty of solid chase form (including on good ground) and off the mark over fences at the seventh attempt at Haydock (2m5f, heavy) in December; creditable third behind exciting prospects in 3m Grade 1 at Kempton on Boxing Day and can go well now back down in grade; cheekpieces added. |
3/1 |
