13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Won the Grade 1 Brown Advisory here in March 2022 and also the Cotswold Chase here last January; pushed Spillane's Tower close in that same 3m1f Grade 2 this season, when conceding 6lb to the winner, but no match for Haiti Couleurs since and this 11yo is up against it in today's company. |

2nd 1 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Unraced here but a stalwart of the 3m+ chase division elsewhere; runner-up in contrasting styles in two Cheltenham races this season, rallying after losing his place at halfway in a Grade 3 handicap on reappearance, and leading until after the final fence in a four-runner Grade 2 two weeks ago; unraced on heavy but goes well on soft; should ensure that Haiti Couleurs does not have it all his own way. |

2nd 2 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 56y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Landed the odds in this race last year (soft ground) and showed a similar level of form when second under big weight in handicap here on reappearance, rallying after losing his place at halfway; should give his running again but has a bit to find on the figures with Grey Dawning. |

17th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 2 |

Won five times and developed into very useful chaser in 2022 but was disappointing on both appearances last season, latterly when reverting to hurdling in January; hooded for first time here; needs to get career back on track. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
11yo who has raced just five times since winning this in 2021 (good to soft) for Kim Bailey; however, he was a creditable fourth of 24 behind the easy winner in the Ultima at Cheltenham (3m1f, good to soft) last month on his second start for this stable and he could be involved. |

11yo; well-beaten ninth in this race in 2023 then absent until 17l fifth of 11 over nearly 2m5f here in January on stable debut; in the circumstances it was a respectable run last time and he's 7lb lower than when second in this race in 2021; no surprise if he goes well now back up in trip. |

29th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Smart chaser for Brian Ellison and second in two hunter chases for new yard in recent months; no match for Gaboriot at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in March, though, and has been very inconsistent in recent years. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
8th May 2024 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Smart chaser at his best and he still retains quite a bit of ability; has mixed record this year and was pulled up in Foxhunters' at Aintree last time but he's been in much calmer waters now and was runner-up at Catterick (3m1f, soft) on his penultimate run; dangerous if in the mood. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
11yo who is without a win since 2022 and has fallen on two of his last three starts, but it was a stumble rather than a bad jump that was to blame last month; he was going well in front at that stage (six out) and with a clear round it will be no surprise if he can exploit a handy mark. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

Without a win since 2022 but was in process of running well before penultimate-fence fall at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) two starts ago and had excuse when tailed off there last month (suffered overreach); blinkers tried today. |

14th Jan 2023 Heavy 3m 5f 54y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Commanding win at Aintree in October, which took him back very close to his career-high mark and he disappointed at Newcastle next time; this trip boosts interest in him, as he was second in the 2021 Scottish National (4m) on his only completion beyond 3m2f; acts on soft, unraced on heavy. |

26th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 1 |

Won over C&D (good to soft) in March 2021 and fair third in this race last year (albeit no match for the front two, including winner Aye Right); reappeared with commanding veterans' chase win at Aintree last month; back up 5lb and has never won off a mark this high but might not be far away. |

Agonisingly missed out in a leg of this series when tying up close home at Chepstow in October (collared by Good Boy Bobby); there are some course concerns as he wasn't so good when behind Thomas Darby and Mill Green here last time but he's still respected off the same mark as at Chepstow and new partner Dylan Johnston is good value for his 7lb; handles all ground. |

Won at Hexham (2m4f, good) last September off 5lb higher mark; ran respectably, having been given a break since pulling up over fences in March, when fifth of seven at Hexham (2m4f, good) last month when leading from the front and headed only approaching the last flight; weighted to win but is hard to predict. |

Very useful in his prime and proved he retains a significant chunk of ability when causing 40-1 surprise over C&D (good) in September; quickly back in the doldrums since, though, and it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood today. |
