21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Northern runner who has looked as good as ever in winning two of his last three races, taking chase record to 6-18; did it quite readily at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) latest; ran respectably at Newbury in November; likely player in current form. |

11st 8lb |
5-17 over fences and his win at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day was up there with his best efforts; ran poorly at Cheltenham four weeks later but in the mix if bouncing back. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner; won two in a row last autumn (2m3f/2m4f, good to soft) and back to form when second under Jay Tidball at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) last month; effective on soft earlier in career; can make another bold bid. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
12st 2lb |
Two wins from the front, including a defeat of Heltenham over C&D, and two non-completions comprise a mixed current campaign; hindered by being unable to dominate in the Greatwood Gold Cup last time; chance may depend on whether he gets an easy lead. |
13/2 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Front-running chaser who made a bad mistake and unseated rider mid-race when favourite for similar event at Cheltenham last time; successful in both completed starts this term, looking better than ever, including a C&D performance (good to soft; beat Heltenham by 10l) that suggests he's an ideal candidate for this prize; respected. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time chase winner and his last success was in this race (off 2lb lower) last year; has been in and out this season but he bounced back with a fair third in Class 2 handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) two weeks ago; has possibilities if he can back that up and he's versatile ground-wise. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Inconsistent this season but has finished a good second on two occasions (November/December) and filled the same position in this race 12 months ago prior to beating Heltenham at Newton Abbot; well capable of posing a threat, provided he's back to form. |
8/1 |

5th 5 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Usually wears cheeekpieces; inconsistent (2P2P) this term but sole attempt in blinkers resulted in a good effort at Ascot (2m3f) on penultimate start; could go well in the reapplied blinds. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
All chase wins around 2m4f, including win at this meeting last year; Newbury specialist who landed fourth win at that track when bagging valuable handicap for second time on penultimate start; never won off a mark this high and drop back down to 2m also asks a question but he's impossible to rule out. |
3/1 |
|
4th 4 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Back to something like his best last time, registering a second success in the Greatwood Gold Cup and taking C&D record to 4-6; won this contest in 2023 and 2024; back up the weights but commands respect kept to a scenario that suits him ideally. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Record of 3-5 at Newbury features a success in this contest two years ago; proved no match for Twinjets in most recent course start and was a faller in last two handicap attempts (out of depth in Grade 1 since); however, holds a major chance off current mark provided he's in top form. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Yet to make an impact in three starts for this yard this year, but he showed some smart form in Ireland for Willie Mullins, notably landing a 2m4f Grade 3 at around this time last season; looks attractively treated on that evidence; one to watch in the market, though a return to form is needed. |
8/1 |
|
12th 2 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
Won Grade 3 at Killarney (2m4f, yielding) last May for Willie Mullins and he's on a handy mark on that form; however, below par in the winter on final two starts for that yard and soundly beaten in handicaps on both outings for this stable; usual hood is left off; needs to get back on track. |
33/1 |
|
5th 2 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
12st 2lb |
Useful on his day for Willie Mullins but form has dipped this winter, most recently last of four finishers at Doncaster where he was the rank outsider on debut for new yard; best watched unless the market signals go the other way. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Campaigned over longer trips since September but effective at 2m previously; currently in a consistent vein of form and looks attractively treated, having scored twice off current mark last year; landed this contest in 2024 to boot and holds a fighting chance. |
15/2 |

2nd 1 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Good-ground specialist who was a course winner in 2024 and returns here after two good efforts this spring, the latter a close fourth at Aintree (2m4f, good) 16 days ago; respected. |
3/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Enjoys good ground; bumped into the enigmatic Numitor on a good day at Hereford last month (2m5f) but this 10yo also struggles with his consistency; he's capable but risky enough. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Heavy ground provides an excuse for latest effort; has hinted at retaining ability otherwise since returning from lengthy layoff; very attractively treated on historical data, which includes four Grade 2 wins (bumper/hurdles/fences); one to consider. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Smart hurder/chaser in his prime; absent more than two years after Grade 2 novice chase win in autumn 2023 but returned with two pretty good efforts this season (2m5f/3m) and has possibiites in his first veterans' chase; copes well with soft ground; unraced on heavy. |
