16th Apr 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful staying chaser when on song and has pretty good record at Cheltenham; pulled up at Exeter two starts ago and didn't find much at the business end when third of four at Carlisle (3m, good) last month but it won't be a surprise if he runs a big race here. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
11yo who looked as good as ever when runner-up in a captivating battle with Jonbon in the Ascot Chase (2m5f, good to soft) in February, when bidding to win that Grade 1 for the third consecutive year; won the Grade 1 Melling Chase here (2m4f, soft) in 2023; seemed fine at 3m when 1l second in this season's Charlie Hall (good) and his trainer has won this race six times; no surprise to see a bold bid from this front-runner, who is not ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 13y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Smart front-runner whose record of 5-9 over fences at Ascot features emphatic wins in this race for the last two years (good/good to soft; has scored on soft); had excuses (soon taken on for lead, race possibly came too soon after reappearance) over C&D in November when last seen, failing to land the 1965 Chase for a third time; perhaps best caught fresh nowadays and, assuming he's able to dominate, commands respect in another hat-trick attempt. |
7/4 |

1st Nov 2025 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Multiple Grade 2 chase winner who has also won three Grade 1s (good-soft), the latest being the 2m5f Ascot Chase in February; this 10yo is unproven beyond that trip and unraced over 3m, but there's every chance he'll stay and he goes well fresh; key player under 6lb penalty if seeing it out. |

17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
No win since January 2022; shaped reasonably well when third at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in December but lesser efforts at Haydock and Plumpton since temper enthusiasm; first run since January. |
10/1 |

4th 1 |
27th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to form when keeping on for third at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in early December but failed to really build on that when a well-held fourth at Haydock three weeks later, albeit in a higher grade; hasn't won for three years but he's plied his trade at a higher level for some time and could find life easier contesting a class 4 with a capable 7lb-claiming amateur booked. |

9th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
No surprise if sent off hard having made all over more than a mile further in August, and effectiveness on soft was proven during her pointing and bumper days; more exposed than most here as a chaser, however, having been held off a low-120s official mark in handicaps most recently. |

Verdict
The Paul Nicholls-trained PIC D’ORHY holds leading form claims having won the Grade 2 Pendil Novices’ Chase over 2m4f at Kempton in February, and there’s every chance he’ll see out this new trip. Does He Know, another Grade 2 novice chase winner, is second choice ahead of Fantastikas.[Ben Hutton]
