26th Aug 2024 Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3-7 since joining James Moffatt last summer, the latest success gained by 5l over 2m6f here on soft ground last month; evidently in very good nick but is effectively 9lb higher today (if Charlotte Jones's expired 3lb claim is considered) and this move back up in trip may not be ideal. |

Kept on well to open account in 16-runner Hexham handicap (2m7f, soft to soft) in May and ran well to a point over that C&D last month, after a break; not out of this if that recent outing has brought her on.

She's 2lb out of the handicap and was no match for the easy winner at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) last time; however, she won over 2m7f at Hexham (good to soft) in May and is an each-way possible now back up in trip. |

6th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Improved to win from out of the handicap over C&D (good to soft) in May, her 11th start over hurdles; it's hard to tell whether she'll build on that performance after a five-month break but she'll probably cope with the slower ground. |

Unplaced all eight hurdling starts; not beaten far when fifth of six as the 33-1 outsider in tactical C&D race five weeks ago but considered only if much stronger in the betting today.

Seemed to have turned a corner when third on return to hurdling at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in April but was pulled up in next three races (two chases, one hurdle); returns from 161-day break on dangerous mark but it's very hard to predict whether he'll warm to the task.

22nd Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Ex-Irish; has won three chases for this yard, the latest at Carlisle in April 2022 (2m5f, good); creditable fourth over hurdles from well out of the handicap on same track last month, but went up the ratings following that and others now look better treated. |

30th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Not the most reliable these days but was under 5l away in a C&D handicap three weeks ago when a stone out of the weights (behind Masked Crusader); remains to be seen if that flattered him and he's off the same mark here. |
14/1 |

4th 12 |
7th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A three-time winner over fences (around 2m4f) in early 2022; not the most reliable nowadays but he wasn't disgraced back hurdling when fifth in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap last month; a stone out of the handicap here, however. |

Not seen since struggling in Perth maiden in May but his fourth at Hexham (2m, soft) in April was reasonably encouraging and he's open to significant improvement in handicaps.

0-14 over hurdles but lost out only by a neck here (2m6f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in July and ran much better than bare form of 26l defeat might suggest at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last week; might be the answer. |

Has very mixed record since winning 2m novice hurdle here in February 2022 but ran well when third over C&D last month (good to soft; first start after wind op) and had excuse when pulled up here a fortnight ago (lost action); could have a say.

Won two classified events on Tapeta last month and she has run even better in defeat in handicaps the last twice, albeit not having an excuse when second over C&D last week; still low mileage on the Flat and likely to be involved. |

Well beaten over C&D (soft) last month but he failed to settle and ran fairly well for quite a long way on that first outing since December 2020; could improve for the run and he's now 10lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (soft) on his penultimate start; one to consider. |

Left clear at final flight to win by 11l on handicap hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in April; pulled up soon after early jumping error on recent seasonal/chase debut and now quickly switches back to hurdling; remains open to further improvement.

Won soft-ground point by 12l on debut in November 2021 and displayed minor promise in two hurdle races (2m6f/2m4f) the following February; makes handicap debut after 623-day absence but is very unexposed and will need to be taken very seriously if strong in the betting; had wind op in August.

Beaten 4l or less in all four runs over fences; seen to good effect front-running at about 3m before unable to domimate back over 2m4f at Newcastle; still relatively unexposed and has a nice racing weight returned to further. |

5th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 8yo who began chasing career with three good runs over 2m7f at Musselburgh, most notably when making all on second occasion (soft ground); likely to be ridden very positively again over today's shorter trip; could be very hard to catch. |
10/11 |

3rd 8 |
18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Lightly raced point winner who build upon the promise of her chase debut fourth here (C&D; good to soft) when winning over C&D (soft) last month; hit with 7lb rise but the clear runner-up comfortably went one better next time and this unexposed 8yo could have more to offer. |
9/4 |
