DSLR HORSE WGT JOCKEY TRAINER XP 1ST LT -% %
159 Jupiter Du Gite
Caused a major upset when making all on British/hurdles debut at Newbury in December but proved far too free in a Triumph trial and the main rece itself at Cheltenham. Eases in class but backing him comes with clear risks attached. Hood off.
locked3-16P
10-13Niall HoulihanGary Moorelocked2.25/12.75/122
442 Beau Balko
Successful on his sole Flat start in France and got off the mark over hurdles at the second attempt when dictating at Hereford in November. Disappointing handicap debut but he cast that aside in no uncertain terms when adding to tally at Sandown in February. Likely has more to offer.
locked2151
11-7Angus CheledaPaul Nichollslocked2.5/11.1/156
951 Alien Storm
Getaway gelding from good jumping family. Improved with each outing in bumpers and made a positive start over hurdles, successful at Plumpton in October and better form when second under a penalty at Kempton. Disappointing handicap debut needs shrugging off.
locked53-2129
11-7Lilly PinchinCharlie Longsdonlocked6/18.5/142
184 Samuel Spade
No more than a fair handicapper on the Flat but has quickly reached a higher level over hurdles, winning at Kempton and Huntingdon and a good second in a Class 2 event at Huntingdon in between. Jumping errors proved costly in a deeper environment at Cheltenham.
locked1210
11-4Kielan WoodsBen Paulinglocked6.5/16.5/10
966 Iberico Lord
Won a French bumper in May. Faded to finish a well-held sixth of 8 on his Cheltenham hurdle debut in November and was held when falling at Kempton in December. Still early days and he's had a wind op.

11-0Aidan ColemanNicky Hendersonlocked7.5/19/120
97 My Boy Grizzle
Fame And Glory gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Supreme Huntress. Hooded and very strong in the betting in a Tipperary bumper in March 2021 but ultimately held back by inexperience. Left J. D. Motherway and almost certainly needed the run on last week's hurdles bow.

123 The Grey Falco
Won over hurdles at Haydock last winter. Largely struggled after but shaped better than being pulled up at Fontwell on second chase start/yard debut would imply and duly took a step back in the right direction when third at Southwell 12 days ago. Could be ready to strike now.
locked730-PP3
11-9Luca MorganBen Paulinglocked2.25/13.33/148
352 Chanceux
Dual novice hurdle winner who improved at first attempt over fences when runner-up at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) in December but hasn't kicked on both starts since, just respectable third of 4 in handicap chase at Newcastle (16.3f, good to soft, 7/2) 35 days ago.

11-12Jonathan BurkeAlastair Ralphlocked4/11.88/153
71 Feel The Pinch
Fair hurdler who made a successful switch to chasing at Bangor in November. In good form back hurdling since, adding to his tally there in good style on debut for this yard last week. Obvious claims back over fences.

11-13Mitchell BastyanRobbie Llewellynlocked4/12.5/138
145 Fakir
Back on track when landing a 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (21.5f) on debut for this yard in September. Has found life tougher since but dangerous to discount off tumbling mark/first-time headgear.

Reliable sort who returned from 3 months off when scoring over C&D last summer but others look better handicapped. Off 7 months.

151 Weebill
Good record at selling/claiming level in recent times, including winning a 2m Fakenham claimer last month. The one to beat.

204 Forecast
Three-time winner over hurdles in first spell for this yard and added to tally over fences for Dr Richard Newland during 2021. Yet to find his best form since rejoining this stable but this is a drop in grade.

Turned in his best effort of the season when third of 9 in 2m Wetherby handicap 11 days ago. Place claims again if in similar form.
locked8B3273
11-4Toby WynneSamuel Drinkwaterlocked7/14/143
92 Ring The Moon
Fifth career success when taking a Chepstow handicap hurdle 9 days ago but that form is only modest and he'll require more if he's to follow up in this non-handicap.
locked1-0P3P1
11-10Adam WedgeEvan Williamslocked8/17.5/16

Has shown some promise, including when third of 7 in 19f Market Rasen handicap last time. Likely to be in the shake-up now dropping into a seller.

222 Dedanser
Ended last term with success at Bangor. Low-key start in handicaps but down in the weights and fitted with blinkers, he's hit the frame on his last 2 starts. This isn't a strong race so he's of serious interest.
locked1-PP034
11-13William MaggsDonald McCainlocked4.5/13.2/129
98 Perfect Man
Losing run stetches back to 2020 but he has a very lowly mark to exploit for new connections. Market may prove useful.

10-13Caoilin QuinnRyan Potterlocked6/12.75/154
301 Propelled
Showed fair form on first of his 2 starts in bumpers and ran to a similar level when runner-up in a Huntingdon novice (20.7f) on hurdling debut. After 9 months off, hasn't progressed in 3 starts this season, brushed aside on handicap debut a month ago.
locked242-646
12-2Ben BromleyNicky Hendersonlocked6/111/183
2710 Tiny Tantrum
Fair maiden for Lucy Wadham last term but not at his best in 5 handicaps for new yard this winter. Mark is on the slide but still need to see more.

Poor handicap hurdler who didn't achieve a great deal despite finishing second in the mud at Leicester in December. Fair fifth at Huntingdon since but more needed.

Modest form over hurdles so far and not even at that level both starts back from an absence in 2023.

1413 Amlovi
Acquitted herself well back over hurdles last season, finishing a creditable third at Warwick on her final start of the campaign. Hasn't carried much of a threat both outings this term, though. 3 lb out of the weights.

Modest maiden hurdler/chaser at best but has gone the wrong way this season, showing temperament over hurdles on his first 2 starts of the campaign and pulled up both outings over fences since.

276 Dom Of Mary
Bumper/hurdles winner who produced his best effort yet over fences when failing by a whisker at Huntingdon (2½m) last month. Doesn't look entirely straightforward but stepping back up in trip here should be in his favour and he needs considering.
locked14-F532
10-8Caoilin QuinnDavid Bridgwaterlocked2.75/11.2/156
352 Vision Des Flos
Scored over fences at Warwick in September and has remained in good form since, coping well with the drop back to 2m when runner-up at Chepstow last time. Return to this trip no bad thing and he's a live contender.

11-9Brendan PowellJoe Tizzardlocked4.5/13.33/126
195 Go Steady
Looked as good as ever when landing a C&D contest recently, pulling clear of the rest with a subsequent winner. 4 lb rise fair enough and another bold show could be on the way.

11-1Tristan DurrellDan Skeltonlocked5.5/13.5/136
857 Rakhine State
Three-time winner over hurdles for Gordon Elliott and gained first success for current yard in handicap at Worcester in summer 2021. Placed both runs in this sphere since returning from a lengthy absence in November but needs to sharpen up his jumping.

2493 Fire Away
Built up good strike rate over hurdles/fences for this yard, doing well under the circumstances to add to his tally at Cartmel last May. However, below par thereafter and entitled to need this run following 8 months off.

1256 Mount Etna
Runner-up sole start in points (Nov 27). Has joined a top trainer who often introduces some of his better types at this track, so worth chancing on Rules debut.

Second in a point and filled the same position switched to Rules at Huntingdon last month. Likely to step forward from that.

Runner-up on his sole outing between the flags and was picked up for six figures subsequently, so potentially exciting prospect and demands plenty of respect on Rules bow.
