1st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fine effort at 150-1 when under 3l third at Newbury in March; all wins in the last four years, including matches in two opens in 2025, gained going left-handed on sound/quick surfaces, and perhaps best forgiven an uncharacteristic exit at Lockinge latest as he usually finds a leg. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
A three-time winner over regulation fences and prolific in points (5-7); however, he's 12 now and was pulled up in a recent point after quite a lengthy break; has a bit on his plate at any rate. |

1st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Victory in a Parham open match last weekend took his score in points to 5-8; diminishing returns in hunter chases, and well held behind Arthur's Sixpence at Newbury in March (3m, good to soft), albeit on going which wouldn't have suited as well as tonight's projected good. |

Pulled up in the same point last month in which Arthur's Sixpence suffered the same fate; that muddies the waters but did well in points and hunter chases last year, including a near-miss in this race. |

1st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 4lb |
Bled from the nose when a fading fourth in the Aintree Foxhunters latest (2m5f, good to soft), though still had Fan De Blues comfortably behind for the second time this year; more prolific on easier surfaces but Taunton win in January reaffirmed he's effective on good as well. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won the Grand Annual at Cheltenham Festival in March 2024 (2m, soft) and runner-up in it last year (good to soft); comfortable wins in hunter chases on last two starts (2m5f/2m6f, good/good to soft); his stamina will be more severely tested in today's hotter company but leading claims if seeing it out. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 54y Class 3 |
12st 4lb |
Useful handicapper who won the Grand Annual Chase at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival (2m, soft) and was second in that race last year (good to soft); did not need to be at best to make winning hunter chase debut at Taunton (2m5f, good; main rival disappointed) last month and ought to remain a potent threat at this level. |

1st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
2m novice handicap winner here three years ago to the day (good; RPR 129), and several decent placed efforts after; able schoolmaster for Joe Neal in novice rider points lately, getting there in time at Kimble (3m, good to firm) but not quite last time; others a bit more persuasive. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Numerous placings since his successful chase debut at Warwick (2m, good) in May 2023, but pulled up at Huntingdon (3m, good) when last seen in April; has won fresh, but a speed test like this may not be ideal for him now. |
