Back to form the last twice with wins at Exeter (3m, soft) and in the competitive Eider at Newcastle (4m1f, good to soft) in first-time cheekpieces (retained); proved well suited by that step up in trip on her seventh chase start and she's very much respected up 8lb; has won on good ground. |

Stormed 10l clear at Cheltenham (3m2f, good) last April and shot back to form with a last-gasp win from the back at Exeter (3m, soft) last month; back up 3lb; first-time headgear muddies the waters but otherwise she looks a very interesting staying prospect, one to note. |

Returned to form with a fine second when back on better ground in a competitive handicap at Kempton (3m, good to soft) last time out; hampered late on and unlucky not to win the bet365 Gold Cup over 3m5f at Sandown (good) last April, and this 6yo has the credentials to be a major player today. |

Pulled up in Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) in November and there's been no return to peak form here the last twice; however, they were his first encounters with soft ground and his reduced mark appeals on form as recent as October, when a fine second twice in a row (2m7f/3m, good/good to soft); possibilities now back on less testing ground. |

10st 11lb |
Won his first two chase starts (2m5f/3m, good/soft) towards the end of last year and returned from a break with a good second at Newbury (2m7f, soft) four weeks ago; this strong stayer has potential at today's longer trip and his trainer won this with a 7yo novice in 2013; firmly in calculations. |

2-2 since switched to chasing this season, winning handicaps at Fakenham (2m5f, good) and Bangor (3m, soft); again not clobbered by the assessor, having been raised just another 3lb; open to further progress over fences and has to be feared. |

Bumper/hurdles winner (2m7f) on good ground and completed the set on his chase debut at Fakenham (good), winning a 2m5f handicap with a nice bit in hand; 3lb rise fair and does have heavy-ground form, so conditions should be no barrier to him. |

Exposed 9yo who is unraced beyond 3m1f and was below par at Doncaster when last seen in December; however, he may have been ready for a break and the way he stayed on for third at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) in November suggests this marathon trip is worth a go; not ruled out each-way. |

Has run well on three of his four starts in this novice chase campaign, finishing third of four in 3m Grade 2 at Wetherby latest, and he handles various ground; into the unknown stamina-wise today but he's in top hands and his brother Beg To Differ was fourth in a Welsh National; a possible. |

Irish point winner; 2-7 over hurdles; perfect start over fences when making all in novice at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) in October; tailed off behind Ahoy Senor in Grade 2 at Newbury next time; has a more realistic chance in this handicap but will still need a personal best to defy top weight. |

11yo who is inconsistent and hasn't been at his best the last twice; however, today's extreme test of stamina could help as he ran well in the Welsh National on two occasions, and he showed plenty of spark as recently as January when winning the veterans' final at Sandown; may run into a place. |

2nd Apr 2022 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |

Prone to making mistakes which is a concern but he stayed on well for second at Cheltenham (3m2f, soft) on New Year's Day and was suited by the step up in trip when going close at Musselburgh (3m7f, good) in February; progressive and could have a part to play if minimising the blunders. |

5th Feb 2022 Good 3m 7f 108y Class 2 |

Progressive 8yo who stayed on well for second over Cheltenham's stiff, extended 3m2f on New Year's Day (soft); also effective on good ground and he has potential over today's marathon distance; could have a big say. |
9/4 |

2nd 5 |
1st Jan 2022 Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |

Acts on soft; tongue tied last two starts (3m, good to soft) and ran well; appeared to be travelling best approaching three out at Doncaster on reappearance but blundered badly and that cost him his chance; same mark today and looks capable of better, so a big player barring any mishaps. |

Comfortably beat a solid yardstick to win a three-runner handicap at Newcastle (2m7f, good) in February and fair fourth in the Eider there (4m1f, good to soft) next time, behind two of these; however, he has to find something extra in this hotter race if he's to reward each-way backers once more. |

Rallied to get third when tried over 3m2f at Cheltenham on penultimate start, albeit beaten a long way; much better form either side, making all in three-runner race here (3m) on latest outing, and such a new trip asks a big question. |

Having had wind surgery he returned to form with a close second of three at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) 25 days ago; runs off a mark 5lb lower than when fourth in this last year (good), and it's a race in which the same faces often run well on repeat occasions; could be in the mix. |

8th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Signed off last season with a fine fourth in the Scottish National; has not reached that level of form in three starts this time round and has had a wind operation since struggling over an inadequate trip at Wetherby in December; questions to answer but certainly capable of going close off this mark. |
7/2 |

26th Dec 2021 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |

Did very well last term as novice, winning twice (2m7f, good to soft/good; has won on heavy) and finishing fourth in the Scottish National when not quite seeing out 4m; first start this season (creditable) was better than his second and this marked drop back in trip is off-putting. |

15th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive front-runner last spring when winning final four completions at 2m4f-3m on ground ranging from soft to good; however, not in anything like the same form this term, coming home in his own time at Ascot and pulled up a long way out in the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury in November; 3lb out of the handicap. |
66/1 |

27th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 3m 1f 214y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Tailed off on reappearance at Ascot (3m, soft) last month; however, highly progressive from the front over 3m on good ground in the spring and scored in good style from subsequent Grand Sefton winner Mac Tottie at Ayr in April; on that evidence he could be a force off today's 9lb higher mark, provided he handles conditions (has won on soft; best form on good). |

Solid second in a conditional jockeys' veterans' chase at Musselburgh (2m6f) last time, with Alan Doyle removing 3lb; Doyle claims a useful 7lb today and this consistent 10yo is now 6lb lower than when a creditable fifth in this race last year; could go well in a first-time tongue-tie. |

His five chase starts have come in small fields and he's not obviously well treated now back in a handicap, and a red-hot one at that; however, he's only eight and this game galloper has hinted he may be suited by today's step up in distance; an each-way possible. |

Stayed on strongly for close second in the Becher over 3m2f at Aintree in December and this trip could be within range; versatile ground-wise; excellent second when badly in at the weights in Kelso Listed chase last month but the handicapper has reacted with a 9lb rise, which makes things tough. |

10yo who has been better than ever this season, making all at Chepstow (2m7f, good) in October before creditable thirds the last twice, in the 3m5f Classic at Warwick (soft) on the first occasion; however, he needs to find something new in the first-time cheekpieces to come out on top today. |

It was just his second run at a staying trip when he made all by a head at Chepstow (2m7f, good) last time out in October; he's won on soft ground and it's possible he'll stay this far, but his stamina is far from guaranteed and he probably needs a career best to defy a 5lb rise today. |

23rd Feb 2022 Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
12yo who was tailed off on his final two starts towards the end of last year and has something to prove; however, he's off the same mark as when winning at the Cheltenham Festival last March and he's had wind surgery since last time, which could prompt a revival; not written off. |

22nd Jun 2022 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Two wins in March and, having been out of his depth in major handicaps, has strung together a sequence of three seconds, all last month; still 5lb above his latest winning mark so bit more needed to win; can lead. |

30th May 2022 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-French; won twice for this yard last season and has returned to form with a couple of seconds, last time at Southwell (3m2f, good) not helping his chance by jumping right for the most part; certainly wouldn't want to repeat that trait around here. |

2nd Apr 2022 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Not at the top of his game on either run this year, after an absence, but there were promising signs 20 days ago and he was progressive last season; the form of last March's handicap win at Navan (3m, heavy) has worked out really well and his brother and stablemate Mister Fogpatches was third in this last year (on good); very interesting contender if handling the ground (kept to soft/heavy for vast majority of career); one of two for Irish yard. |

13th Mar 2022 Heavy 3m 0f 126y |
10st 7lb |
Progressive over fences last season, signing off with a defeat of solid yardstick Enjoy D'allen in a big novice handicap at Navan a year ago; should be ready to do himself justice now having warmed up with a hurdles run over an inadequate trip at this venue two weeks ago. |
7/1 |

27th Feb 2022 Soft 1m 7f 101y |
10st 10lb |
Progressive over fences last season, winning here before beating Enjoy D'allen over 3m at Navan from mark of 127; very well handicapped on his chase form but 2m is probably sharp enough on return from a 351-day absence. |

1st Aug 2022 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Smart hurdler (C&D winner) and won on his chasing debut at Galway last July; hasn't really built on that although fair fourth in valuable Uttoxeter handicap on latest; looks up against it. |

30th Jul 2022 Good 2m 6f 168y |
11st 6lb |
Six-time winner; won a beginners chase at this meeting last year but a better hurdler given his novice form when placed in Grade 1s at Cheltenham and Aintree; not disgraced in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter last time but certainly of interest back over flights. |

2nd Apr 2022 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Progressive 9yo who made it four wins from his last seven starts when upped in trip at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) in November, when clear with an improving runner-up; off since and this is hotter but a 5lb rise for last time isn't harsh and he could still have more to offer; on the shortlist. |

19th Mar 2022 Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Won three handicap chases (3m/3m1f) last season and he was all heart when going in again over 3m4f at Haydock (good to soft) in November, for which he's gone up a fair 5lb; all his best form is on good or good to soft, so conditions could find him out; non-runner. |

Three chase wins in blinkers last season, the latest when gamely making all over 3m1f at Cheltenham (good) in April; may have needed the run when below par on his reappearance there; this sort of trip should suit him. |

2nd Apr 2022 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Untested beyond 3m1f and beaten 13l in seventh in the Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival 18 days ago; however, this 7yo novice was progressive previously and his trainer has won this three times, the latest in 2009, and has had eight horses finish placed since; therefore he's worth a second look. |

15th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Has come a long way in a short time, having made his hurdle debut in November 2020; has done well over fences, with 2m7f handicap and novice wins at Lingfield (good to soft/heavy) bookending good runs in Grade 2s at Doncaster and here; straightforward type who stays well and knows how to grit his teeth; can improve further for yard that is 30% (8-27) here this season. |

21st Jan 2022 Heavy 2m 7f 110y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive novice hurdler last season but has soon raised the bar over fences, winning a good C&D handicap in November and respectable in better company subsequently; it was a very warm Grade 2 in which he was a 12l third at Cheltenham (soft) and that trip of 2m4f would be short of his best; solid. |

2nd Apr 2022 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 0lb |
Course regular whose four wins have all come here, at up to 3m3f; good second over 3m here in January but this 10yo has been inconsistent this season and faces a tough task today from 4lb out of the handicap. |

12th Mar 2022 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Put a couple of poor efforts behind him when runner-up over C&D (soft) in January; missed intended engagement last month (vet's certificate); needs to back up his run last time but all four career wins have been achieved at this track so has to be considered. |
5/2 |

26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Below-form sixth in this race last year but he did win over 3m3f on heavy that January; ran poorly on second and third starts this season, and even though he was back to form when second of five at Ayr on latest outing, he needs to raise his game further and to prove his stamina. |
