2nd 2 |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
String of creditable efforts over fences last term, such as when third in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) last November; successful return to hurdles when making all at Bangor (2m4f, good) 12 days ago; should be able to follow up. |

1st 1 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Useful chaser who held his own in some top handicaps last season, notably when third in Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in the autumn; absent since two below-par runs in the spring and unraced over hurdles since 2023 but could simply be too good for this field; cheekpieces refitted. |

2nd 3 |
13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Ran really well in defeat in some strong Cheltenham handicaps (2m4f-3m1f) during the first half of last season and his Kempton effort in February wasn't too shoddy; what needs forgiving is his Ayr run after a wind operation as that was underwhelming; still looks dangerous. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
He hasn't quite been at the top of his game on his last two starts; however, he's had wind surgery since and is certainly of interest on his two third-place finishes at Cheltenham in the autumn (3m1f/2m4f, good/soft); top trainer has won five of the last eight runnings of this race. |

6th 9 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Won twice as a novice chaser over 3m at Sandown (soft/good); has been running well in some strong Cheltenham handicaps this season without looking that well handicapped, but returning to a right-handed track might benefit him, as might the first-time cheekpieces; could also have this run to suit if he's held up as usual; effective from 2m4f to 3m1f, he's a big player. |
