25th Feb 2024 Heavy 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Has gained most wins at Warwick, the last three over 3m5f; best effort this term came over same distance in cross-country race at Cheltenham; drops back in grade off a workable mark but this doesn't look an ideal scenario; 0-4 at Hereford. |

13th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 5f 54y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Often front-runs; Warwick specialist with five wins from six appearances and two of those wins were over 3m5f (one on soft); the defeat, however, came in this race last year (heavy) when beaten 16l in a respectable fifth; best to forgive this season (way out of the weights on Cheltenham cross-country on last two starts) but 2lb wrong today and this task looks a bit too tough. |

12st 6lb |
Used to like it here, not out of the first three in five starts including over fences and when winning a novice hurdle in 2023; first start for this yard when far from disgraced in Taunton hunter chase (about 2m5f, good) in January but his 20l defeat at Cocklebarrow (3m) later that month was disappointing; still not ruled out. |

Better known as a chaser and he hasn't been able to exploit his lower hurdle mark in two starts this year, tailed off last time at Doncaster (2m5f, good); has never run over this far either so has plenty to prove. |

May have bounced when pulled up on heavy ground at Haydock in December on second start back from a long absence, and he's had wind surgery since; prior to that he reappeared with a good second at Ludlow (3m1f, good to soft) and is a major player if rediscovering that form; has won on soft. |

Won off 18lb higher at Newbury (3m, good to soft) for Nicky Henderson in November 2019 but he's not seen much action since and has been pulled up in three of his last four runs; has plenty to prove and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip. |

A three-time hurdles/chase winner (from 2m4f to 3m) in 2019 for Nicky Henderson but well below par last season and pulled up on his sole outing for Christian Williams in 3m4f Taunton handicap chase in March; cheekpieces go on for another new yard here with plenty to prove. |

Very well handicapped on old form but ended 2022 with some very disappointing efforts for Nicky Henderson and needs to have been revitalised by the switch to a new stable; first run beyond 3m2f. |

7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Very inconsistent in recent years but proved he retains ability when commendable third from out of the weights in cross-country chase at Cheltenham (3m5f, good) in November, and his run in a conventional chase there (3m4f, good) three weeks ago was a fair bit better than eventual 46l defeat might suggest; in calmer waters here and not discounted. |

Proved he retains ability when commendable third from out of the weights in cross-country chase here (3m5f, good) in November but his subsequent form in orthodox handicap chases is not compelling. |

30th Sep 2023 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced 11yo who has seemingly been difficult to train; absent since scoring in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m7f, good) in February but won 2020 edition of this race off today's mark and was a very close second to One True King in it last year; dangerous to ignore. |

7th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 3 |

11yo who has been lightly raced in recent years and was well beaten at Doncaster (3m, good) in December last time out; however, this is less competitive and he was a short-head second of five at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) last September; stays 3m and is not ruled out in first-time cheekpieces. |

29th Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
10yo who returned to form when staying on well for a short-head second of five at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in September on his second start back from an absence; the step back up to 3m is a likely plus and he could be a player if conditions suit (good ground seems best). |

In excellent form in February/March 2025, winning three in a row at around 3m (good to soft/good), but has fitness to prove after 393-day absence and will need to hit the ground running to have any chance off current mark. |

When a 23l third at Newbury (2m, soft) two starts ago he was behind two highly progressive rivals and he continues to drop down the weights, but positive performances have been scarce this season and he was tailed off at Sandown (1m7f, soft) last time. |
