Usually not seen on worse than good to soft but he has won a chance on heavy; veteran who was back down the weights when winning at Pontefract (2m2f) on latest outing; usually thereabouts and there are more doubts over most of the others.

2nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner last October and followed up on heavy ground at Newmarket; returns to the Flat off a 6lb higher mark and after pulling up over hurdles in February; will need to be approaching his best. |

21st Feb 2024 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Gained his Flat wins in the autumn over 2m/2m2f; subsequent hurdles efforts at about 3m; veteran who may not be crying out for this drop back to sharp 2m5f under this code. |

22nd Jan 2024 Frozen 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper/hurdle/chase winner and 6l third over 2m7f at Chepstow (heavy) on last month's belated return to jumping, having won his two previous starts on the Flat; should go well. |

OR: 79
Latest hurdles win was pretty useful form over 2m4f on soft last December (blinkered); Flat handicap debut in April saw her grind out a 4l win at Nottingham (2m, soft); similar form for minor honours on both starts since; off since May and the blinkers worn on last two outings are removed; needs better still but there's no doubt over her stamina.

22nd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Made all in Listed mares' hurdle at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in November and was runner-up (beaten 12l) in another at Haydock the last time, which was a good run back at 2m3f (heavy); should give her running but others might be better in. |

Often front-runner; excellent form figures since headgear went on in June, but they were somewhat dented nine days ago by his Kempton AW sixth of seven when attempting 2m for the first time; scored by wide margin on heavy at Chester (1m6f) three starts back, so not totally dismissed.

Front-runner; unraced here but a familiar face at Chester and runner-up there (2m/1m4f) on three of her last five starts; not disgraced there on latest; needs to be in peak form but even that might not be enough. |

A close second on heavy going in March was one of his best efforts over hurdles; also a close, rallying second over 1m6f at Goodwood in May; absent 130 days before his recent Goodwood outing when he might have needed the run but did start favourite.

10st 11lb |
Well beaten over 2m here on hurdle debut in February 2022 and not seen in this sphere since, but she has developed into a fairly useful Flat stayer in the second half of this year; interesting. |

8th 13 (9) |
6th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
A three-time 2m winner in 2023 who recorded another solid effort when fourth of 14 to Duke Of Oxford over C&D 16 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up. |

4th 7 (6) |
20th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 3 |

Can throw in the odd shocker but she's won three times in 2m handicaps this year, notably when coming from off the pace to score at York in September off 4lb lower; each-way claims on a good day. |

His five Flat races were all in France in 2019; ten wins in all over the years, nine over hurdles but he had a troubled end to last jumps season and had wind surgery since; usual blinkers give way to cheekpieces, last seen three years ago; easily won a 2021 selling hurdle on heavy; market may guide.

30th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Claims on his placed efforts in late 2023 but his losing run is mounting up and he was pulled up at Exeter only 11 days ago; needs a change of headgear (first-time visor replaces regular blinkers) to make a difference. |

8st 5lb |
Well beaten in this race in 2021 and 2022 and even further adrift in the Trial three weeks ago on his only other race at Newmarket; good ground for all three of those was probably not ideal and he'd be well handicapped if this proved one of his best days, but others look more solid. |

Raced too freely in July when he attempted 2m for the only time; kept on well to win over 1m7f at Ayr (soft) one month ago and good third on heavy ground there (1m5f) nine days later, so he's an in-form candidate.
