3/1
Showed ability in his qualifying runs and much improved to make a winning handicap debut at Chepstow (19.5f, soft) last week. Penalty may not stop him if showing up in similar form.

3/1
Runner-up sole start in Irish points in October 2020. Promise when placed in a pair of mares' novice hurdles at the end of 2021 and has the profile of a likely improver in handicaps.

Steadily progressive over hurdles in Ireland for Ellmarie Holden but no show in 23f Worcester maiden/handicap for new yard. Has a lot to prove.

Looked increasingly temperamental for Richard Guest in 2018. Offered little in hunter chases in early-2020 but did show ability remains when sixth in 2m course handicap hurdle for new yard recently.

Left last season's 3 efforts behind when going close in handicaps at Doncaster and Sedgefield this winter. Ought to be very competitive once again.

Just minor promise so far but the booking of Brian Hughes for handicap debut takes the eye. Worth keeping an eye on in the market.

Best effort so far when staying-on second in 20.5f Ayr handicap 25 days ago, although he did make rather hard work of it so the slightly shorter trip here isn't certain to play to his strengths.

Fair performer on Flat but hasn't reached that level in 4 hurdle starts, leaving Tim Easterby since finishing well held in a Carlisle handicap in October. Could only consider if backed.

Campaigned over fences in recent seasons. Ran well for second on Kelso reappearance in November but well held twice since. New headgear (visor) on now back hurdling.

Placed both completed starts in points. Has hinted at ability in novice hurdles for current yard and could fare better in handicaps.

In the frame all 4 starts over hurdles, including handicaps last twice. Still unexposed and could yet have a bigger performance in him.

Fairly useful Flat winner, including on AW in July. Only modest form in 3 maiden hurdles but has scope from this mark based on his Flat ability. Cheekpieces added.

Well held in 3 maiden/novice hurdles but did show a bit in a bumper at the start of her career and has a low mark to work with now handicapping. Cheekpieces go on first time.

It's now 17 runs since his last win in 2018 and recent efforts haven't been inspiring. First-time visor will need to make a difference.

Poor maiden hurdler who was a respectable fourth in a 23f Worcester handicap in July. Absent since finishing well held in a Bangor chase in September. Others more obvious.

13:45 Wetherby - 27 January 2022 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

ROCK OF STAR is 4 lb well-in compared to his future mark under a 7 lb penalty for last week's Chepstow success and is fancied to follow up. Walk In My Shoes appeals as one who could have more to offer in handicaps and is feared most. Son of The Somme and Annies Prayer arrive on the back of good efforts and are also on the shortlist.

  1. ROCK OF STAR (FR)
  2. WALK IN MY SHOES (IRE)
  3. SON OF THE SOMME (IRE)
