Taunton

Didn't come close to justifying strong market support in 2m handicap chase at Wincanton in December, but much more like it when going close back hurdling at Doncaster (24.4f, good). Bred to be much better than his current mark and he looks the way to go.

Produced by far his best effort for this yard when third in a 14-runner handicap at Doncaster (24.4f, good) recently. Remains on a very attractive mark (some 23 lb lower compared to this time last year) and he has to enter calculations.

Has showed improved form for the addition of cheekpieces, running as well as ever back from a short break when runner-up at Lingfield (23f, soft) recently. Likely to be on the premises once again.

Veteran performer who scored off this mark here 12 months ago and wasn't disgraced returned to this venue when fifth of 16 in January. However, she didn't get very far at Fontwell recently and others are preferred.

Posted his best effort to date when second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, good to soft) on penultimate start. Slow ground perhaps wasn't ideal at Wincanton next time but his profile is somewhat up-and-down in any case.

A frustrating maiden on Flat. Promise in first-time cheekpieces when third of 11 (20.5f, Southwell) on handicap debut but let down by his hurdling at Fakenham (23.4f, good to soft) in January, Wasn't in quite the same form last time and he's opposable from a win point of view.

Winning pointer who left previous Rules efforts well behind in a first-time hood when third in 21.4f novice at Wincanton at the end of January. Followed that with a heavy defeat at Huntingdon, though, and needs to raise her game now handicapping.

No win since June 2023 and although he went close on first try over fences at Hereford in November, there hasn't been much to shout about since and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Showed a bit more than on his first 2 starts in this sphere when fifth in an 11-runner maiden here (19f, good to soft) in November 2023. However, his subsequent handicap debut back here was uninspiring.

Shaped like a stayer in 3 bumpers and remote second of 4 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) on hurdles bow in November. However, she found no improvement for the switch to handicap company at Southwell last time. Cheekpieces applied.
