11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
So nearly won his second King George at Kempton over Christmas but, although he's a class act, excelling over 3m on good ground at that speed track doesn't mean that this test will suit him; his moderate late headway in the extended 2m4f Grade 1 Ryanair at Cheltenham last month isn't that persuasive either. |

3rd 1 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Won the Martin Pipe over hurdles at this meeting in 2022 as well as a novice chase here that year, but Kempton is where his heart lies, having won the Grade 1 King George (3m, good) in 2024 and gone desperately close in the same race (first-time visor, retained here) on Boxing Day; however, he's been beaten a long way out at the last two Festivals, in this race and the Gold Cup, and a flat track may now be ideal; has something to prove. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Nearly all chase runs at up to about 2m4f; however, he had looked a stayer in the making when making light of this steep finish in the Martin Pipe (2m4f) over hurdles here in 2022 and he laid out his stamina credentials when steaming home to win the 3m King George at Kempton (good; cheekpieces refitted) on Boxing Day; has a very good chance of breathing down Galopin Des Champs' neck on the home bend but will need special reserves to outstay that steely rival. |
