4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Pulled up in the Ultima at Cheltenham last month but that was his first attempt at a staying trip and he failed to settle out wide; went to the Festival having won five of his previous six starts (2m3f-2m5f, various ground) and he could bounce back with a big effort now back down in trip and grade. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
10yo who is lightly raced for his age and made it five wins from his last six starts (various ground) when scoring comfortably in a veterans' chase at Market Rasen in January (extended 2m5f; the longest trip he's tackled); this is a hot race in which to test his stamina, and from out of the handicap he's 11lb higher than last time, but he was strong at the finish and the form is working out very well; it remains to be seen where his limitations lie. |

4-9 over fences, including 2m3f course win; didn't jump well enough when below form at Newbury in November but is versatile regarding ground and could plausibly still have more improvement to come. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won over hurdles and fences in France; kicked off for Georgina Nicholls with three respectable chase runs towards end of last year (2m-2m4f) and probably best to forgive him his no show over Cheltenham's cross-country course when he was out of the weights; the visor is now. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |

Five-time winner when based in France; started off for Georgina Nicholls with three very respectable chase runs towards end of last year (2m-2m4f) but has stamina to prove and is 5lb wrong on this cross-country debut. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Can make mistakes but he was runner-up twice in a row prior to winning a quality handicap at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in January, when clear with subsequent Ultima runner-up Jagwar; a 5lb rise for that career-best performance isn't harsh and he's entitled to respect. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Hard to knock in terms of consistency and he again ran creditably when second of seven at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) on Welsh National day; however, he's prone to the odd mistake and may not get away with them on his first run over fences at Cheltenham. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Struck form over fences at start of this year, winning over 2m3f on soft ground at Exeter and Chepstow; subsequent 261-day break may have checked his momentum but further progress is possible this season. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Won four times over hurdles; little promise on his first three attempts at chasing but there was much more encouragement in a never-nearer third of ten at Newbury (2m7f, heavy) four weeks ago; has been dropped 10lb in the weights since his chasing debut and drying ground should not inconvenience him in the slightest; could be ready to strike. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Did not fulfill his potential over hurdles for Nicky Henderson but, following a layoff, positives can be drawn from both chase runs for new stable this season; ran well until weakening into third here (2m7f, good to soft) in December and should benefit from this drop back in trip. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 3 |

Impressed on hurdling debut for Nicky Henderson in November 2023 but completed only one of three subsequent hurdling starts, when fifth of eight in Kempton handicap (2m, good to soft) in December; changed hands for £22,000 in May and it's hard to know what to expect from him on stable/chase debut. |

Has a rather mixed record over last couple of years but reportedly benefited from positive front-running ride when causing 33-1 surprise at Wetherby in February and is only 2lb higher here; a possible if ready to roll after five-month break. |

12st 0lb |
Lightly raced for his age and now 12lb lower than when going close at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) at start of last year, but he's been out of form this season and needs first-time tongue-tie to aid a revival. |

0-6 over fences but placed three times; headed only in closing stages after running big race from the front at Huntingdon (2m7f, good; first-time blinkers) last month and has obvious claims if in similar form again. |

Sole attempt at Ffos Las resulted in his only success (in 2m4f handicap hurdle); ran creditably upped to 3m at Ayr in latest chase start and looks interesting returned to this venue, assuming he takes well to first-time headgear. |
