Pep Talking
PEP TALKING remains of interest and can get away with the drop in trip back down in class. Ballybreeze hasn't had a chance to get going this season but better is expected now off a tempting mark.

Enhanced good strike rate over fences at Wetherby in November. Reported to have bled later that month but back on track after 4 months off when second at Kempton 19 days ago, shaping as if still on a good mark. Drop back in trip is slight concern, though this is easier.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park2m 2fGoodChase2/6Wincanton2m 4f 35yGoodChasepu/8Wetherby2m 3f 85yGoodChase1/8Huntingdon2m 3f 189yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase2/6Warwick2m 4fGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase2/8- 3BallybreezeJ: Brendan PowellT: Samuel DrinkwaterP311-63Age 103/13/110/3

Signed off last spring with 2m wins at Newbury and this track. Shaped as if in needing the run both starts this season 4 months apart and better expected now, especially having dipped below last winning mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow2m 3f 98ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/5Cheltenham1m 7f 199ySoftChase6/11Chepstow2m 11yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/3Newbury2m 92yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/6Newbury2m 92ySoftChase3/5- 6Dj PeteJ: James BestT: Sarah-Jayne Davies25P4151Age 85/15/111/2

Showed a game attitude to get off the mark at Ffos Las in February and didn't take long for him to add to that tally at Bangor 3 weeks ago. May prove vulnerable up 4 lb in better race, though.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBangor-on-dee2m 1f 77yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase1/5Ffos Las2m 3f 83yHeavyChase5/6Ffos Las2mHeavy (Soft in places)Chase1/5Chepstow2m 16ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase4/5Haydock Park2m 3f 203yGood to SoftChasepu/8- 1OstendJ: Tom BroughtonT: Alastair RalphF31P-33Age 85/15/111/2

Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland who capitalised on a falling mark and the run of the race when opening his account over fences at Market Rasen last season. Shaped as if needing the run back from 10 months off at Southwell but went backwards at Bangor next time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBangor-on-dee2m 4f 72ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase3/4Southwell1m 7f 182yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/7Perth2m 4f 20yGood to SoftChasepu/9Market Rasen2m 3f 34yGoodChase1/4Bangor-on-dee2m 1f 77yHeavyChase3/5- 2KoapeyJ: Harry BannisterT: Warren Greatrex221-2PPAge 613/25/16/1

Maiden winner over hurdles and bettered that form when second at Uttoxeter on handicap/chase debut on return in October. However, pulled up both starts since 4 months apart, having a third breathing operation prior to last run.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby1m 7f 36yGoodChasepu/5Newbury2m 92yGood to SoftChasepu/7Uttoxeter1m 7f 214yGoodChase2/5Southwell1m 7f 182yGoodHurdle1/8Newbury2m 69yGood to SoftHurdle2/11- 4WhatyouwaitingforJ: Lilly PinchinT: Charlie Longsdon3222122Age 58/18/115/2

Off the mark at fifth attempt over hurdles in maiden at Newton Abbot last summer for the Twiston-Davies yard and shaped much better than distance beaten suggests on chase/yard debut at Doncaster after 5 months off, showing plenty of aptitude until getting tired. Can build on that back down in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster2m 3f 31yGood to SoftChase2/3Hereford2m 53yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle2/4Newton Abbot2m 2f 110yGoodHurdle1/7Worcester2mGoodHurdle2/12Stratford-on-avon2m 70yGood to Firm (Good in places)Hurdle2/5
