9th Mar 2025 Soft 3m 0f 174y |
10st 6lb |
Won three in a row early in 2023; has finished second in three of his five starts since returning from a lengthy spell on the sidelines; backed up a promising Windsor run when staying on well behind Monbeg Park over 2m5f at Leopardstown last Sunday; would have been closer but for interference; extra distance should suit. |

2nd Mar 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 107y |
10st 0lb |
Won three in a row early in 2023 (including here) and back from a long layoff with good second at Galway (2m6f, soft) in October; better again on latest when chasing home a hot favourite in 2m6f Windsor handicap in January (soft), having been hampered run-in; back up in grade here but only 1lb wrong and likely major player. |

Won three in a row early in 2023 and back from a long layoff with good second at Galway (2m6f, soft) in October this term; two lesser efforts over 3m at Navan have followed (the Troytown on first occasion) but he needs a second look for his highly respected stable. |

Looked far from a natural over fences so far, his easy Windsor victory last November coming despite mistakes; handed a 9lb rise for that and finished well held back at the same course when last seen two months ago; needs to put in a better round. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Has more to prove than the other 11yos in this field, with form this season suggesting that age may be catching up with him and virtually all of his chase outings at 2m4f; it remains to be seen whether this longer trip sparks a resurgence. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |

Has some strong handicap form to his name and this isn't quite so demanding as Cheltenham's feature 2m4f early-season handicaps; he is now 11 and the handicapper hasn't been overly generous is dropping him just 3lb for those heavy defeats, but unwise to put a line through him. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has been racking up the places since completing a hat-trick two years ago, a sure sign that he's high in the weights; however, again ran well at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last time and finished just ahead of last week's Pertemps Final runner-up Jeriko Du Reponet; raised another 2lb for that but he's very solid. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 |
9th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a hat-trick in spring 2023 but has been chalking up the seconds since; two of those have been at this track in this race last year and a 3m chase on penultimate start (has worn cheekpieces this term); form dipped at Windsor latest and he's probably vulnerable if back on song for this return to hurdling. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 198y |
12st 0lb |
Hurdle/chase winner for the Moores in Britain with a peak hurdle rating of 130; some promise in three runs for this yard, notably on latest when fourth of 11 at Navan (2m6f, heavy), staying on from rear to challenge two out, fading late on; player dropped 1lb under top claimer. |

His second to Lowry's Bar at Exeter in December (2m3f; stays 3m+) reads really well and it wasn't a bad effort last time at Taunton (2m7f); an 11yo now but goes on any ground and he can't be discounted. |

Rather in and out, and followed a Ludlow win (3m, good to soft) in December with a listless fourth over the same C&D three weeks ago; needs first-time headgear to inject some sparkle. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |

Went up 5lb for winning a 3m handicap that fell apart at Ludlow (good to soft) in February and that was under a 3lb claimer; probably has no margin for error off this mark and that spells danger in this warm a race; that said, his Chepstow run after a break was encouraging. |

Last campaign was very hit and miss but included two wins over about 2m4f on heavy going and he seems to be working his way back to form this season; not proven beyond 2m5f but he's too well handicapped to be ignored. |

Ex-French 6yo; opened his account in good style in a chase at Auteuil (2m1f, very soft) in June 2023 and sold for 310,000euros the following month; had a baptism of fire on British debut in 2m4f Grade 1 at the Cheltenham Festival last March, making mistakes before pulled up at 150-1, but he should be a vastly more interesting proposition in this handicap. |

Ex-French 5yo who has been absent since opening his account in Auteuil chase (2m1f, very soft) last June; sold for 310,000euros the following month and should win more races at the right level but this looks a baptism of fire on British debut; has easily the worst chance on bare figures. |
