23rd Mar 2022 Good 2m 2f 191y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Irish point runner-up (3m, yielding to soft) who won on rules debut in Wetherby novice hurdle (2m, good) before bumping into useful sort at Newcastle (2m, good); had an excuse (hampered early) when tailed off on handicap debut at Catterick (2m3f, soft) and this unexposed 6yo retains potential. |

14th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Unexposed; second in Irish point (3m, yielding to soft); winning British debut in Wetherby novice hurdle in November (2m, good) but no match for a progressive sort when second in similar company at Newcastle last time (2m, good); up in trip for handicap debut and an interesting contender. |

11st 4lb |
Progressive 7yo who won five times over hurdles last year (2m-2m5f, good to soft/soft); creditable third at Wetherby (2m3f, good) latest but it does suggest the handicapper finally has him about right. |

5th Feb 2022 Good 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Progressive 7yo who won five times over hurdles last year (2m-2m5f, good to soft/soft); last month's defeat in a major handicap should not be viewed harshly but today's forecast good ground may not be ideal. |

12th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
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. |

8th Mar 2022 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Handicap debutant who isn't particularly well treated on his bare form but may build on last month's novice win at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) where he opened his hurdles account at the fourth attempt; not ruled out. |

17th Feb 2022 Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |

Won French bumper in 2020; took a purler at the last when in contention at Market Rasen in December (2m4f, soft) but his finishing was weak over 2m5f at Ludlow since; shorter trip will suit but improvement needed. |

12st 0lb |
Three wins over C&D including this race off a 9lb lower mark last year (soft, blinkers for the first time); won with no headgear at Sedgefield in March (2m4f, soft), but below his best since; could well bounce back. |

Showed himself to be none the worse for a couple of falls when resuming winning ways at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) 20 days ago; up 7lb in a more competitive race now. |

12th Mar 2022 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-French and still lightly raced in Britain; looked all the better for wind surgery and the return of a tongue-tie when making a stylish handicap debut at Fontwell (soft) and again he came from behind to be third at Cheltenham (good), finishing hot on the heels of last week's high-profile Kelso winner Cormier; big player off 2lb higher and especially if granted softer ground. |

3rd 5 |
29th Jan 2022 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 2 |

Ex-French, four runs in Britain; wind surgery before this season; tongue-tie also returned for handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, soft; unraced on good) five weeks ago and he made up his ground in good style to win in clearcut fashion; up 5lb but, if the ground is okay, probably more to offer. |

9st 4lb |
Won over hurdles at Perth last month (3m2f, good to soft) though lesser effort there last week; hasn't won on the Flat since September 2017, but is on a good mark so not out of it. |

21st Feb 2022 Heavy 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has rather mixed record over hurdles but came good at sixth attempt, in Catterick novice (2m3f, soft) on New Year's Day; could still have more to offer but has a bit to find with the other two hurdle winners here. |
13/2 |

1st Jan 2022 Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Seven-race maiden; finished placed twice over hurdles (2m4f, good/good to soft) in the autumn but he struggled in a handicap at Aintree on his penultimate run before unseating at the first at Wetherby on Boxing Day; has something to prove and he needs to kick on again to make a big impact here. |
13/2 |
