24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Better known as a chaser nowadays, but won twice over hurdles over four years ago; no real promise back hurdling six weeks ago but had wind surgery since and his stable is enjoying a cracking spring. |

11st 13lb |
Better known as a chaser nowadays, but won twice over hurdles over four years ago; not the force of old but is 5lb lower over hurdles compared to his chase mark; vulnerable to anything progressive. |

12st 2lb |
A smart winning chaser at his peak but not at his best this term, only fifth of six in 2m Windsor handicap chase 27 days ago; his mark is falling but this veteran still looks vulnerable conceding weight all round here. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Something to prove regarding current form although he didn't take to the National fences when pulled up mid-race in the Topham at Aintree last week; this is a lower grade than he's used to contesting and he's capable of playing a big role if back on song now returned to conventional fences. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
Better than ever when easily winning at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day and on that evidence this 5lb higher mark isn't necessarily beyond him; however, two lesser runs have followed; has to get back on track. |
25/1 |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Nearly all races at around 2m1f and the step up to 2m4f was clearly a stretch behind Jonbon in an Aintree Grade 1 last April; coped better with the trip when a convincing winner of a C&D handicap (good; has won on soft) in January but a lesser effort followed at Windsor and he aims a lot higher here. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
11yo who won this race in 2023 (good to soft) and was third in the last two runnings (good); ended last season in good form, coming second at Perth (2m4f, good) in April, and could have a part to play on his return. |

2nd 1 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
11yo who snapped a losing sequence at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month and it was a stronger race than this in which he was fourth of 11 at Haydock (2m4f, good) last Wednesday; every chance he'll be in the mix. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran who made his name as a two-miler and the slow pace helped when making his first foray over 3m a successful one at Carlisle (good to soft; effective on good); solid second the run before over 2m4f but a 5lb rise for last time could be troublesome. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Running well in the main this season, winning at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in December and good third at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in January last time; this two-time course winner was runner-up in this race two years ago and could again have a part to play. |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Runner-up to progressive winner at Kelso (2m1f, soft) last month then went one better at Wetherby (1m7f, soft; by 3l); he remains 3lb lower than when third in this last year (good to soft) and could be firmly involved. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
An 11yo now who isn't as good as he was and has predictably lost some of his old speed; hasn't been running badly in handicaps at about this trip but looks vulnerable. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
On a good mark but an 11yo now and has lost some of his old zip; ran okay at Uttoxeter last time but got outpaced when it mattered and was never threatening; what will help here is the likelihood of a good pace and some rain; respected. |
10/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
An 11yo now and, in first-time cheekpieces, finished well behind at Ayr in a race he had done well in previously; this wouldn't be so demanding and his penultimate effort was quite encouraging; by no means ruled out. |

Wasn't disgraced in finishing third of six over 2m4f at Uttoxeter on stable debut but he's not as good as he was and an 11yo now. |

Won two hurdles and a novice chase in Ireland but hasn't been overly competitive in four chases for current yard; looks best watched for now. |
