Bumper/hurdles winner who quickly matched his useful form over fences last winter, landing a 22f Musselburgh maiden 12 months ago. Should strip fitter for hurdle return 4 weeks ago.
|
Promise in bumpers and successful twice in novice company this season, latterly strong at the finish at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. More to come in handicaps.
|
Consistent during light 2019/20 campaign, resuming winning ways from 1 lb higher mark at Haydock (18.8f) 13 months ago. Below best over fences both starts this winter and return to hurdling a plus.
|
Back to something like his best when chasing home the progressive Mint Condition (runner-up in Grade 2 company since) at Wetherby (21f, heavy) latest. Remains on a feasible mark and merits respect.
|
Showed improved form on back of a wind op to double career tally at Fontwell (17.7f) on return in November. Not disgraced at when fourth at Exeter since and he may yet have a little more to offer.
|
Fairly useful winning hurdler but despite being fit from the Flat he's been unable to make an impact in handicaps at Wetherby/Haydock in recent months. Mark is steadily easing at least.
|
Won first 3 starts over hurdles for Philip Kirby last season. Exploits largely underwhelming since but latest fourth in a mares' listed event at Sandown was easily her best effort for present stable.
|
Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who has posted fair midfield efforts in a pair of Jumpers' bumpers in recent weeks. Mark has eased ahead of switch back to hurdles but others appeal more.
|
Low-mileage 6-y-o who landed a Kelso maiden (2m) in October and followed up on handicap debut at Hexham the following month. Good second at Sedgefield (19.8f) latest and he's of interest again.
|
Landed a Fontwell novice for Tom Lacey in September and improved again for new yard, building on Stratford selling success at Sedgefield (19.8f) in November. Not ruled out in hat-trick bid.
|
Runner-up on 3 of his first 4 starts in bumpers and off the mark on hurdles bow in a C&D novice 12 months ago. Efforts mixed since but latest Musselburgh fifth was a definite step in right direction.
|
Fairly useful hurdler/chaser earlier in career. Runner-up twice between the Flags for Miss C. R. Crane early last year and interesting what the market makes of him back under Rules for new yard.
|
Off the mark when taking 21f Kelso handicap hurdle in November and posted another good effort here when runner-up at that venue in December. Nudged up another 2 lb ahead of this.

Forecasts
Witness Protection (11/4), Floating Rock (9/2), Hart Of Steel (7/1), Look My Way (7/1), Adicci (8/1), Captain Moirette (10/1), Leostar (10/1), Niven (16/1), I'm To Blame (20/1), Show Promise (20/1), Asylo (20/1), Multellie (25/1), Desaray Girl (25/1)
An intriguing handicap hurdle with the vote in favour of CAPTAIN MOIRETTE. A winner from a 1 lb higher mark over hurdles last winter, he's not kicked on over the larger obstacles this time around but is well worth another chance to get back on the up reverting back to timber. Hart of Steel is going the right way and is feared, along with Witness Protection and Floating Rock.
