9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Ascot specialist who runs at Aintree for the first time; following wind surgery he ran okay when 13l eighth of 20 in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham (2m, good) last month, and he's another 4lb lower today; however, this 11yo is without a win since 2023 and needs to find something extra now in cheekpieces. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Ascot specialist who ran really well when second to Jonbon in C&D Grade 2 (good) in November 2024; well handicapped on that form but this 11yo has struggled to get competitive this season; wind op needs to prompt a revival. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 195y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Not as good as he was but that's reflected in his mark and he knows his way around this place; returning from a break when third in this 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; could easily have a role to play. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Not quite as good as he was but still a useful performer; placed on final two starts last season (2m hurdle/2m1f chase) and drops back in trip after looking stretched by 2m4f last month; probably best on good/good to soft but has won on soft; enters calculations. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Not quite as good as he was but still a useful performer; second off today's mark on latest hurdling start at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in March and also ran well when third in Sussex Champion Chase at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month; well worth another crack at 2m4f; probably won't be far away. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Smart in his prime but needed considerable help from the handicapper before driven-out win at Chepstow (2m, good) in April; subsequent defeat in valuable Haydock race is not viewed harshly but he's not yet proven over this far and others in the field have more appealing profiles; cheekpices removed after one use. |

10th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Winning for the first time since the 2022 Betfair Hurdle when digging deep to edge out Helnwein at Chepstow two weeks ago (2m, good); will do well to defy a 4lb rise in this deeper race but he'll give it his best shot; cheekpieces added. |

20th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Fell on only appearance last season and didn't fire on either hurdling start this autumn (albeit not beaten that far on latter occasion); very well handicapped on old form but has quite a bit to prove on first chasing start since spring 2023. |
