20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Quite closely matched with Java Point on their Ludlow form in January (3m, good to soft) and this 11yo has held his form in points; he still looks vulnerable from a win perspective. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
First and second in Sandown's military races last term (soft, good to soft) before converting an easy task in his members race at Didmarton; all rules and point wins have been gained around more testing tracks than Ludlow, and it's five years since his one winning seasonal reappearance. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |
12st 5lb |
Inconsistent but ran well in the military races over C&D early last year and he beat Farceur Du Large by just over 1l in the Grand Military Gold Cup over C&D (soft) three weeks ago; now 5lb worse off with the runner-up but can give another good account under regular rider Captain Douglas White. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |
12st 5lb |
Won the Grand Military Gold Cup over C&D last January and followed up in this race (also soft), both under Major Will Kellard; beaten just over 1l when second to Fil d'Ariane in the Grand Military Gold Cup three weeks ago but he's 5lb better off with the selection today and has solid claims. |

disputed lead, prominent after 2nd, lost ground before 16th, not fluent 17th, hit 18th, not fluent 3 out |

24th Jan 2025 Good 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |
12st 5lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who won this quite comfortably 12 months ago on his first start for Jamie Snowden and followed up in February's Royal Artillery Gold Cup (again under Major Will Kellard); the horses he beat in both those races went on to win handicaps and he too ran well to be fifth in the Midlands National; the glaring concern is the very laboured return he made in a Newbury handicap, yet none of his rivals offered a lot more on their final starts. |

11th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
His second over 2m4f (good) here 13 months ago reads well but he's become a hard horse to predict and previous ventures over 3m+ have amounted to little. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Last ran off this low a mark in spring 2022; Plumpton second (2m4f, good) last April reads well but he has been well beaten more often than not over the last two seasons. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Teenager who has gone over two years since his latest win and has been out of form this season (three runs); revival needed. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won this race in 2024 (soft ground) but never really got going last season and was very disappointing favourite in a point last month, after a layoff; now a teenager and needs to prove he still has what it takes. |

Pulled up in three successive chases before finishing tailed off back over hurdles; no appeal. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

0-7 over hurdles and has been pulled up in his last three races, all handicap chases; hard to recommend. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Made all in small-field point last April (good ground) but pulled up in two handicap chases for new stable in the autumn and arrives here with a lot to prove. |
