10st 10lb |
Won hunter chase here (4m, good) last May and added a handicap here (3m1f, heavy) in November, before finishing second at Sandown (3m4f, good to soft); pulled up in Welsh National next time and tailed off over hurdles latest, but this 11yo has an each-way squeak if returning to form back here. |

Thorough stayer who won amateur riders' chase at Cheltenham (3m1f, heavy) in November and was second in London National at Sandown (3m4f, good to soft) on next outing; didn't fire in Welsh National last time, though, and his hurdling ability is tricky to gauge. |

1st May 2026 Good 4m 0f 218y Class 4 |
12st 4lb |
Beaten under 1l in this race last year (Myth Buster pulled up); won't mind the move from Cheltenham given his strong body of work around sharp tracks (including 2-2 in hurdles races here, albeit losing one for interference), and nice break since hard-fought Newbury win; ground fine. |

The furthest he's been was 3m2f on heavy at Uttoxeter last January and he won that by 11l; would probably have scored there again on reappearance (3m, soft; cheekpieces second time) last month but for a shocking error at the final fence; that's not the only late blunder from him and he's been raised another 5lb, but he could easily have more to give. |
