Robert Dunne's Rides Monday 6th February 2023

Revitalised in recent months, winning 2m handicaps at Taunton and Wincanton. Another 12 lb higher now bidding for the hat-trick but can't rule out further progress in his current mood.

Successful at Fakenham (2½m) in October and Taunton (2m) in January. Ought to remain very competitive after a 6 lb rise.

Found only one too good from out of the weights over C&D in December. Not in the same form at Wincanton since but he may fare better with the cheekpieces he wore here now back in place.

Strong in betting and straight back on track for new yard when making light of a 10-month absence at Sedgefield (2m) in December. Disappointed in a 19.5f Huntingdon since but might be worth another chance.

Fair maiden over hurdles for Gary Moore. Sound return from an absence for his new stable when fourth of 13 over C&D in December and not disgraced on AW Flat at Lingfield recently. Likely to go well back hurdling.

Placed twice over hurdles last spring and back to form when 6 lengths second at Sedgefield (17f) in December. Only a respectable third (beaten 13 lengths) at Wincanton on Boxing Day.

Has drawn a blank since his 2 wins in spring 2021 but he knocked firmly on the door with 3 successive runner-up efforts in November/December. Shaped as if still in form when fifth at Plumpton latest. Considered.

Landed a mares' novice hurdle at Wincanton (2m) last winter. Creditable reappearance fourth at Exeter (18.5f) in November but merely added to her rather mixed record when pulled up at Newbury on New Year's Eve.

Made frame twice from 4 outings in Irish points. No show as yet under Rules and out of the weights for handicap debut, but could do better and warrants a market check.

Little impact for Jeremy Scott last season. Offered a bit when sixth of 14 in Taunton handicap on return for a new yard. Unseated at the start at Uttoxeter since. 8 lb out of the handicap.

Runner-up twice in bumpers for Mags Mullins in 2018. Also second over hurdles for Olly Murphy in February 2020 but pulled up both starts since returning from a long absence for new stable. Lots to prove.

In frame first 2 starts but pulled up switched to handicap company at Lingfield and Plumpton since. Can only be watched.
