Baratablet (G)
Progressed again when landing a handicap (20.3f, good to soft) in good style here on his reappearance in December. Might have found next run coming too soon when failing to land the odds at Kelso 18 days later and this 6-y-o is well worth …

Saracen Beau (G)
Made successful hurdles debut for Nicky Richards last season. Shaped well on both starts for Lucinda Russell, latterly when runner-up on chase debut at Bangor in October on return. Re-joined Nicky Richards and can continue his progression …

The Gray Ghost (G)
[T]
Opened hurdles account at third attempt for current yard last season and has been shaping up well in handicaps, caught further back than ideal when fourth at Musselburgh last time. One to note stepping back in distance in lesser race.

Seaview Rock (G)

[H]
Sold for £72,000 after going close on sole start in points and made encouraging debut over hurdles when second to a progressive novice from the Skelton yard at Leicester. Confirmed that promise when going one better there last month and al…

Fromheretoeternity (M)
[PT]
A three-time 2m winner last term and in good form in early summer, not seen to ideal effect when fifth at Worcester. Not knocked about back from 7 months off when fourth at Sedgefield 4 weeks ago and better expected now.

That One (G)
Won twice last season, including over C&D 12 months ago, and returned with a good second at Carlisle. However, produced a rare sloppy round of jumping when only sixth there 18 days ago and needs to bounce back.

Cormier (G)
Did the job in decisive fashion on the Flat at Nottingham in October but it's been a long time since he came close to winning over jumps, just a respectable fourth at Doncaster last time.

The Hatchet (G)
£105,000 purchase after finishing runner-up in his only Irish point. Hurdle form is working out well, winning 2m novice at Perth prior to splitting a pair of subsequent winners when third under a penalty at Ayr. Only sixth on handicap bow …

Party In The Park (G)

Runner-up sole start in Irish points and showed promise when third in Newcastle bumper on Rules debut. Best effort over hurdles when fifth of 12 in novice at Carlisle in a first-time tongue strap 18 days ago and opening mark looks a fair o…
