Thank You Blue (G)

Arrives in career-best form having won twice at Sedgefield earlier in the month, latterly in 12-runner handicap (19.8f, soft). Obvious claims of completing the hat-trick under a 7 lb penalty.

Aim Straight (G)
[P1T1]
Fared much better than previously over hurdles when fourth of 8 in handicap at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) on most recent outing. Must enter calculations in first-time cheekpieces and tongue strap combination.

Raging Al (G)
[H]
Fair maiden on Flat who showed more than previously in this sphere when fifth of 12 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Hereford (16.2f, soft) on latest start. Into handicaps now and appeals as the type to progress further.

Has tendency to jump left but bounced back from a fall at Ludlow when doubling her tally at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) in December. Lost little caste in defeat back up in trip at the same course (20.5f, heavy) next time but underperformed at…

No Guarantee (G)

Landed back-to-back handicaps in December, the first over C&D. Ran creditably faced with an 8 lb higher mark at Wincanton but found run of good form coming to a halt at Market Rasen latest.

Give Her Hollie (M)
[BT]
Poor maiden who seemed to be perked up by first-time blinkers when finishing a respectable fourth of 20 at Down Royal on Boxing Day. Failed miserably to repeat that effort at Fairyhouse since, though.
