9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Inconsistent chaser who's saved his best for Cheltenham in 2025 and 2026, including a win (his only handicap success) in January 2025 and third at the Festival this March; both were over an extended 2m4f and he's shown his form only once from seven attempts under rules over 3m+; not the percentage call. |

10st 10lb |
9lb higher when beaten 3.5l by Riskintheground 12 months ago; 0-10 in the meantime but the new visor worked well when a never-nearer third in the Plate at Cheltenham last month and clear claims if he can back that up. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Pulled up in the 2m4f novice handicap here last March but that was out of character as he had won over that C&D the time before and generally has a good track record; not much of a force this season, though, and he doesn't look in enough form to take advantage of a weights drop; often wears headgear, first-time visor today. |

1st Mar 2025 Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Three hurdles wins in France; 0-5 in Britain but has found some consistency over fences (2m4f-3m4f) this term and looks the type to succeed for Venetia Williams soon; interesting off unaltered mark. |

4th 8 |
19th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 4f 162y Class 3 |

Three-time hurdle winner in France; 0-4 in Britain but was placed in two chases last month (2m4f/2m6f) and has possibilities if this big step up in trip suits. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
2-14 record over fences includes some big runs, including when he hacked up at Ascot (3m5f, good) in November and took second in the Midlands National at Uttoxeter (4m2f, soft) on latest outing; the Ascot race was going this way round but so was his penultimate start when he kept jumping to his left at Musselburgh (12l second to Transmission); that's a niggling concern but he's handicapped to go well if this is another good day. |
14/1 |

2nd 1 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Only 2-13 over fences and doesn't score too highly for consistency; however, flashes of his form read well, notably his second to Haiti Couleurs in last year's 3m6f National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham and a clearcut win at Ascot this season; beaten 12l by a revitalised winner at right-handed Musselburgh last time (3m7f, good to soft) but he jumped left at a good few of his fences that day; last year Mr Vango became the first top weight to win since Bonanza Boy in 1991; handles all ground; each-way claims. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 76y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Only 2-12 over fences but he was second in the 3m6f NH Chase at Cheltenham (good to soft; has won on soft) last March and breezed home 11l in front at Ascot (3m5f, good) in November; disappointing in the Welsh National (rather getting squeezed out at the start didn't help) but he has a big shout if reverting to the Ascot level of performance. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
C&D match last May (good, RPR 128) gave him his only chase win to date; habit of jumping right too great to ignore since, including when twice second in points lately, so a return to a clockwise track is timely. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Didn't reach the heights he once promised for Nicky Henderson but still fetched £43,000 at the sales and made a reasonable debut for this yard at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) when behind Art Of Diplomacy; clearly needs to find something on that run. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |

Arguably didn't fulfil his potential for Nicky Henderson, having won a Grade 2 novice hurdle in 2023, and was sold for £43,000 after winning two-runner chase at Ludlow (3m, good) last month; remains on a workable mark for this stable debut, though, and might be aided by the new tongue-tie. |

26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
All four wins have come here, three over fences at around 3m and one over hurdles at 2m4f; latest success over fences came here last month in this headgear combination, but he's just as effective over hurdles and a key player reverting to this sphere off a small rise. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Both wins over fences have been over C&D, the first in first-time headgear a year ago; not at his best when fifth in the Sussex National back here 13 days ago but must be taken seriously down in grade with visor replacing blinkers. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Held on well to exploit reduced mark in Newcastle handicap (2m7f, heavy) in January but was quickly back in the doldrums when pulled up (albeit in valuable race) at Doncaster last month; this hunter chase debut is much less competitive but it's hard to predict whether he'll warm to the task. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |

Exploited what was a very good mark at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) and the front two pulled clear; raised only 3lb for that but consistent he is not; others safer. |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |

Represents top southern stable and he's very well handicapped on last season's best form; could stage a revival at some point but he struggled in the autumn on his last three starts and there's also a stamina query. |

11st 13lb |
Seemed to be travelling well before falling four out at Southwell (2m4f, good; first run after wind op) last month and remains well handicapped but has not been firing on all cylinders for new stable this season; swaps visor for first-time cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won two three-runner handicap chases at Plumpton (2m3f, good) for Alan King in 2024; mainly disappointing for present yard, including in today's headgear back over hurdles at Uttoxeter last time (2m4f, good to soft); first hurdle/chase run on slower than good to soft ground. |
