6th 2	9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5	17:35 Warwick Chief Black Robe 11st 12lb J: Tom Broughton T: Fergal O’Brien	Difficult times since back from absence last June but he's dropped a long way in the weights and there have been some signs of life; non-stayer over the extended 3m3f at Stratford recently (Carpe Diem runner-up) but he didn't run badly and better is expected.	4/1
3rd 1	19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5	15:43 Stratford Chief Black Robe 12st 0lb J: Tom Broughton T: Fergal O’Brien	Back with his former trainer on his last five starts; landed a four-timer for this yard in 2023; hasn't won since and has failed to complete on his last two starts; visor worn last time is left off; well handicapped if able to return to anywhere near his best form.	5/1
2	25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5	14:30 Hereford Chief Black Robe 11st 12lb J: Fern O’Brien T: Fergal O’Brien	Needs to rebound quickly from a poor hurdle run 16 days ago but last month's second over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, soft) was a pretty good effort and the forecast faster ground here ought to suit him better; big player if first-time visor has desired effect.	9/2
