Promise in 3 novice hurdles at the start of 2022 but pulled up on his last two starts. Cheekpieces on for first time. Others appeal more.
|
Quickly struck over fences at Chepstow (3m2f) in April 2022. Yet to score in this sphere but returns on a handy mark after 13 months off and is worth monitoring in the market.
|
Showed ability in a bumper and posted best effort in this sphere when second at Lingfield (23f, soft) last time, keeping on well. Warrants respect.
|
Belatedly off the mark over timber at Perth (20.2f) in September and backed that up with good second at Ludlow (23.8f) next time. However, needs to shrug off a poor run at Uttoxeter since.
|
Lightly-raced maiden who has run with credit both starts in low-grade handicaps so far this campaign, third in mares' handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.2f) latest. This longer trip may suit and she must enter calculations.
|
Well backed and in the process of showing improved form for new yard when falling 2 out on return at Huntingdon in October and lost little in defeat when runner-up at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) since. Shortlisted.
|
Took a step forward, after 8 months off, when running-on fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Player off a handy mark on his handicap debut with this step up in trip also a likely plus.
|
Found improvement on return/handicap debut when runner-up at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) last month and posted solid fourth at Ludlow (21.3f) since. Likely to be in the mix again.
|
Modest maiden hurdler who returned with a below-form ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, soft) 32 days ago. Tries significantly longer trip now but has plenty to prove at present.
|
Back to somewhere near her best when fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, soft, 18/1) 16 days ago. Worth trying over this longer trip but others look better treated.
|
Offered little in bumper or a trio of starts in maiden/novice hurdles thus far. May do better now upped in trip for handicap debut, however. 2 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts
Ginderella (5/1), Awesome Foursome (5/1), Sam's Amour (6/1), Cooleenymore (13/2), Rajaran (13/2), Aldsworth (7/1), Rollo's Kingdom (15/2), Lucky So And So (11/1), Emotional Memories (12/1), Spicy Nelson (40/1), Johnny B (50/1)
ALDSWORTH has upped his game for new connections this term and gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Rajaran and Sam's Amour can also make their presence felt.
- Aldsworth7/1
- Rajaran13/2
- Sam's Amour6/1
