14/1

Dual winner over hurdles who got off the mark at third attempt in this sphere when taking 6-runner handicap at Worcester (23f, good to soft) in June of 2022. Not seen since, though, and market may prove best guide to claims on return. Had wind operation.

Form: 613/421-

Snowy Evening²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 110| BF

3/1

Promising sort who has run creditably in both starts over fences, latest when third of 9 in handicap (10/3) at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy) 28 days ago. Likely has more to offer yet.

Form: 53PP-23

15/2

Back to winning ways in 7-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f) in September. Fortunate on that occasion given leader unseated late and not been in quite same form since. Tries longer trip now. Tongue strap on first time.

Form: P7-6148

Betterforeveryone^p1²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: A King| OR: 105

5/1

Got off the mark at Bangor (23f) over hurdles on return last year but couldn't really build on that and never threatened when last of 3 finishers on chase debut at Warwick last month. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 3/15F6-3

Head On^v¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 100

10/3

Won 3 times (at up to 25.5f) in the early stages of the 2021-22 season and clearly derived considerable benefit from his comeback run (off 19 months) when second of 7 in handicap chase at this course (24f, good) 15 days ago. Visor back on. Enters calculations.

Form: P1P3/P2

Bring The Action^p,t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Buckley| T: N J Hawke| OR: 95

11/4

Sole success came in Wetherby handicap chase (24.2f) early in 2022. Just the one decent effort last season and well held over hurdles on return but potentially on a good mark back in this sphere.

Form: 4/25F5-9

The Electrician^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Conor Rabbitt| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 87

28/1

Dual winner over shorter last season but more recent efforts have lacked verve and switch to new yard seemed to have little impact at Hexham last month. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: P1-3574

Forecasts

Bring The Action (11/4), Snowy Evening (3/1), Head On (10/3), Betterforeveryone (5/1), Unblinking (5/1), Art Decco (7/1), Creative Control (15/2), Game Socks (14/1), The Ferry Master (20/1), Lepashe (25/1), The Electrician (28/1)

SNOWY EVENING has made an encouraging start to his chasing career and it's likely we haven't seen the best of him yet. He can get off the mark. Head On and Art Decco should also go well.
