2nd 6 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Has maintained an incredibly high standard in Grade 1s over 2m but, although he has won here, his rare reverses have come on this track; no longer quite the speedster he used to be at 2m and the extra stamina test was a help when winning at Ascot (about 2m5f, good to soft) last month, where he could have settled for second had his enduring will to win not come to his aid; now defends a strike-rate of 3-3 at about this trip but it remains to be seen whether he can rise to this very big occasion. |

1st 5 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 13y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Acts on any ground; yet to finish out of the first two; formerly dominant at shorter but has lost a bit of his speed and was aided by the stiff test over the 2m1f trip at Ascot (soft) most recently, recording a second success in the Clarence House and 11th Grade 1 win; seems to be crying out for this step back up in distance and, still high class at the age of ten, may well add to his impressive tally; 2-2 over 2m4f, both in the Melling at Aintree; cheekpieces worn in last two starts are retained. |

1st 3 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 172y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Formerly dominant in this division, but starting to look vulnerable and was readily outpointed by Il Etait Temps in the Celebration Chase in April and Tingle Creek (wore cheekpieces) in December, both at Sandown; landed the odds in this race 12 months ago but his air of invincibility has since evaporated; partnered for the first time by Harry Cobden. |

2nd 5 |
26th Apr 2025 Good 1m 7f 99y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Again forgot his lines at the Cheltenham Festival where he stayed on for a never-dangerous second in the Champion Chase after an almighty blunder at halfway; has been his brilliant self otherwise this season and was only doing enough when ridden out for further top-level honours at Aintree (2m4f, good); has won the last two editions of this race and made it 5-5 at the track in the Tingle Creek on his last visit in December; Mark Walsh replaces the injured Nico De Boinville; hard to oppose. |
