After 4 months off (had a second wind op), returned to winning ways at Uttoxeter (20f) in May 2022. Didn't go on from that effort during the remainder of last season, but he's an interesting contender as he drops down in grade on his return.
|
Winning pointer who has developed into a better chaser than hurdler, winning back-to-back handicaps at Huntingdon and Worcester last year. Stepped up on his recent run when second at Taunton (18.2f) in December and he looks to hold leading claims.
|
Runner-up on sole outing in points and won a pair of novice hurdles in 2022/23. However, failed to meet expectations on his seasonal/chase debut when fifth of 7 at Huntingdon (23.6f) in November, jumping ponderously. Cheekpieces now reached for.
|
Fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner who opened his account at the third attempt over fences with a battling success at Newcastle (20.1f) in November. Again ran well when second at this course (19.1f) 25 days ago, so he's respected with tongue strap now applied.
|
Hit the ground running over fences last term, bagging handicaps at Chepstow and at this course (19.2f). However, has largely been below that level since, pulled up under testing conditions at Aintree in December. Needs to get back on track.
|
Made a winning return at Kelso (17f) last season and took a step back in the right direction when third at Musselburgh (15.8f) on his first start of the current campaign. However, pulled up last time and others are more persuasive as he goes back up in trip.
|
Off the mark for current yard in Cartmel handicap (21.2f) in May and not discredited back from a break when third at Wetherby (19.4f) in November. Shaped as is amiss last time, but he's now back down to his last winning mark so he's not discounted.
|
Thrived for switch to chasing last year following a lengthy absence, landing back-to-back 2m handicaps at Carlisle/Ayr in February. After 8 months off, finished well held at Aintree on his stable debut in November, so he needs to leave his latest run well behind.
|
Scored at Cartmel last summer and would have won at Uttoxeter in September but for unseating 2 out. After a below-par effort a week later, resumed winning ways at Wetherby (19.4f) in October, before making the frame at Catterick last time. Can give his running again.

Forecasts
Cruz Control (7/4), Raffle Ticket (9/2), Demachine (9/2), Hitching Jacking (11/2), Nothin To Ask (12/1), One Fine Man (12/1), Dreams Of Home (18/1), Ubetya (22/1), Getaway Luv (40/1)
With his recent run behind him, RAFFLE TICKET got back on the up when second at Taunton last time, pulling clear of the rest, and he can build on that effort to resume winning ways. Cruz Control has shown improved form on his last 2 starts, including at this course on his latest outing, and could be the main danger, ahead of Demachine.
