20th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Useful novice who ran up to his best when sixth of 11 in the Supreme at Cheltenham (2m, soft; has won on good and heavy) last month; may have more to offer on his handicap debut, but jumping errors are becoming a habit and he'll need to hurdle more fluently in this bigger field. |

12th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Appears to handle any ground; comfortably held in last season's Champion Bumper here; very consistent otherwise, runner-up in Aintree Grade 1 and Exeter Listed event (notwithstanding a lack of fluency) over 2m the last twice, taking hurdles form figures to 1122; faces a stiffer assignment back at this meeting and has the added pressure of needing to jump more proficiently than last time. |

11th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 161y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Impressed on first two hurdle starts before finishing clear second in Grade 1 Tolworth at Aintree (2m, soft) on Boxing Day; he's a highly likeable prospect and is firmly in calculations. |

Two-time bumper winner (2m, good/soft) who was hampered early when tailed off at 33-1 in a Grade 2 at Aintree in April; makes hurdle debut in warm race but he has potential and could give a good account.

Dual bumper winner (good/soft) and won a Haydock novice (heavy) on his second run over hurdles; limitations somewhat exposed since then (in good company) and could be up against it again here; unraced beyond 2m2f. |

Runner-up (albeit well beaten) in the first of his two bumpers and showed promise when 1l second on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last month; improvement needed but he's in good hands to progress; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

13th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who has posted some solid efforts, including on heavy ground and when fair third on handicap debut at Ascot (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; he's a half-brother to Any Second Now, who has twice been placed in the Grand National, and could improve now up in trip again. |

3rd 8 |
22nd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Had wind surgery after his second bumper; better to be placed this autumn at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) and Wetherby (2m, heavy; tongue tied) in his first two starts over hurdles; needs to improve his jumping but there is plenty of encouragement in his pedigree for this longer trip, including as half-brother to the high-class chaser Any Second Now; considered on handicap debut. |

Won Kilbeggan bumper (1m7f, good to yielding) on debut in April and ran well in defeat the next twice for new yard, then won on last month's hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft); improvement needed under a penalty here but latest form has been franked and this likeable prospect is not ruled out.

23rd Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Irish bumper winner (1m7f, good to yielding) who won on hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) last October and has run creditably in defeat since at up to 2m3f; lightly raced and could have potential off opening mark. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner who scored on his hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in October before a fair fourth here (2m, heavy) in November; improvement needed to defy a penalty on this first run since but he returns having had a wind op and his pedigree suggests he'll be suited by the step up in trip. |

11st 6lb |
Low-mileage 5yo; second in two handicap hurdles in April/June over about 2m4f/2m6f; chasing both starts this autumn, creditable second in handicap at Warwick on latest and this new trip may well boost his potential. |

Low-mileage 5yo who came second in two handicap hurdles in the spring (2m2f/2m4f); connections are evidently very keen to switch him to fences, and his 6l Irish point win in 2023 bodes very well for his chasing prospects. |

Dual novice winner on soft ground last season; tapped for toe at crucial stage before keeping on well for second behind Horn Cape on last month's handicap debut at Newcastle (2m1f, heavy); 6lb better off with that rival today and might be seen to better effect on this stiffer track. |
