Thickthorn Tom
THICKTHORN TOM barely came off the bridle despite a narrow margin of victory at Newton Abbot last month and with further progress on the cards, Dan Skelton's 6-y-o can double his tally at the expense of Wings On Wheels, who seemingly improved for a change of tactics when runner-up at Worcester last week. Arctic Saint looks best of the rest.

Little impact over hurdles but much more like it over fences, confirming earlier promise with a smooth success at Newton Abbot just (21f, good) over 3 weeks ago. One to keep on the right side of and a 6 lb rise unlikely to prevent the follow up.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewton Abbot2m 4f 216yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase1/5Fontwell Park2m 3f 104yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/7Exeter3m 54yGood to SoftChase3/11Uttoxeter3m 10yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chasepu/13Fontwell Park2m 5f 164yGood to SoftHurdle6/11- 1Wings On WheelsJ: Charlie ToddT: Ian Williams90P2-32Age 72/12/19/4

Placed all 3 starts since his chasing debut, improving for a change of tactics when second of 10 in handicap at Worcester (2½m, good to soft) 8 days ago, unlucky to bump into one in such hot form and pulling well clear of the remainder.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWorcester2m 4fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/10Perth2m 4f 20yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/6Huntingdon2m 3f 189yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/4Huntingdon2m 3f 189ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chasepu/7Ludlow1m 7f 169yGood to Soft (Soft In Places)Hurdle10/15- 3Arctic SaintJ: James BowenT: Deborah Cole45/402-Age 87/16/113/2

Modest maiden hurdler who fared better sent chasing on the back of a second breathing operation when second of 7 at Sedgefield (21f, good) 10 weeks ago. Cheekpieces reapplied and not out of this.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSedgefield2m 5f 28yGoodChase2/7Warwick2m 3fGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle10/11Leicester2m 4f 110ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle4/7Chepstow2m 3f 100ySoftHurdle5/10Fontwell Park2m 5f 164ySoft (Good to Soft in Places)Hurdle4/9- 4Shes All PrideJ: Sean BowenT: Deborah Cole7/P38-5Age 67/17/113/2

Modest maiden hurdler who ran as well as could be expected from 8 lb out of the weights when fifth of 10 in handicap at Stratford (2¾m, good) just under 3 weeks ago. Likely outsider with attentions now switched to chasing.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosStratford-on-avon2m 6f 7yGood to Firm (Good in places)Hurdle5/10Ludlow2m 5f 55yGoodHurdle8/11Stratford-on-avon2m 6f 7yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/9Hereford2m 53ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdlepu/13Uttoxeter1m 7f 168yGood to SoftHurdle7/10- 5Getaway JewelJ: Brian HughesT: Micky Hammond32064-2Age 129/19/110/1

Fakenham scorer last June and having dropped back to that last winning mark, was left too much to do in order to catch the winner in that corresponding event recently. Back up in trip but others more appealing for win purposes.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFakenham2m 59yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase2/4Catterick Bridge1m 7f 145yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/5Musselburgh2m 4f 68yGood to SoftChase6/8Worcester2m 110yGoodChase10/13Southwell1m 7f 182yGoodChase2/6- 6Chateau Du LysJ: William MaggsT: Tom Gretton/PP2-53Age 740/140/133/1
