14th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Veteran; below par after a break at Hereford last month, but had won two handicap chases at Market Rasen earlier in the season (2m3f/2m5f); goes on good ground but went up 15lb for his two wins (7lb higher than last one) and may find others better handicapped. |

His mark continues to fall but it's a long time since he's been competitive and he was well beaten here in June when last seen; refused to line up and withdrawn at Newcastle in May; others make greater appeal.

29th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
On a reduced mark and he took a step back in the right direction when 14l second to well-treated winner at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) in November; however, he weakened quickly over 3m1f at Catterick (soft) in January so there's a stamina doubt today, and he refused to line up on his latest intended start (withdrawn; 3-1 at the time); a hood is added. |

2nd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 51y Class 5 |

Dual course winner; non-stayer over 3m1f back here last week; only a modest fifth in this contest 12 months ago but is 18lb lower this time; attractively handicapped. |

24th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

Remains below his best despite finishing runner-up over 2m5f at Market Rasen (good to soft) when ultimately no match for the winner; all his best form is over shorter distances than this; cheekpieces added. |

Hurdle/chase winner who runs off last winning mark but this 11yo has a long absence to defy; it remains to be seen how much ability he retains.

Veteran who has not win since June 2022 and makes very limited appeal from 10lb out of the weights here; headgear switched. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Over two years since his last success now, and strike-rate is equally moderate over either type of obstacle; likely better ground awaits this time than last, but still passed over from 1lb out of the handicap. |

8 yo Mare
OR: 94
Early unseat when back over fences last month but prior to that she was a fair fourth over hurdles at Worcester following a long absence, and this two-time chase winner (including here) could go well granted a clear round.

Began chasing career with two wins (one over 2m3f here) for Ali Stronge in early 2022; off the track for 523 days before respectable fourth over hurdles on last month's stable debut and looks interesting now back over fences and with that outing under her belt. |

Failed to threaten last season in his three novice hurdles but he showed some ability and this very lightly raced point winner is open to improvement now switched to fences for his handicap debut; firmly in calculations.

24th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 51y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced point winner who was an encouraging third at Bangor (2m4f, heavy) last month on his second chase start, when making a bad mistake at the third fence and weakening in the straight; today's slightly shorter trip may help and he's a possible. |

Sole win (22 races under rules) came over fences in December 2021; well down the weights now and he was placed twice early this year but pulled up on final start last season (made mistakes in first-time blinkers) and same again on reappearance three weeks ago; bit to prove. |

He's now 7lb lower than when winning here (3m, good to soft) last November and is back here for the first time since, but his subsequent form has been patchy and he needs to get back on track now in a tongue-tie.

3m winner here in late 2022 when a stone higher in the weights; a series of disappointing runs followed and now he's hard to trust; tried cheekpieces and a tongue-tie during that time and now goes in a visor. |

Won a selling hurdle at Stratford (2m2f, heavy) in April for Olly Murphy; well-beaten fourth on stable debut in handicap hurdle there (2m2f, good to soft) next time and this is his first chase start, but he's lightly raced and could be a contender if taking to fences; wears a first-time hood.

Veteran whose last win was off 4lb higher in this race back in 2021 (good to soft); fair third at Hereford last April (2m, good to soft) but faces a stiff tack from 4lb out of the handicap on going softer than ideal. |
