18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
The key to him is soft ground, on which he was third in this race in 2024 and had for the first time since over fences when third of 16 off today's mark to Isaac Des Obeaux in the Midlands National at Uttoxeter (4m2f) on latest outing; blinkered on last two outings; each-way claims. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
The key to him is soft ground which he had when third in the 2024 Scottish National (4m); hasn't had his favoured conditions since then over fences and, with the ground drying out (officially good to soft) in the Grand National Trial at Haydock last time, he ran surprisingly well to be a close fifth, keeping on; the first-time blinkers fitted there, which did him no harm, are retained; chance. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
10yo whose form was patchy in 2025 and he was never going well when pulled up in the Welsh National in December (3m6f, good to soft); however, today's forecast soft ground could help and he's 4lb lower than when third in the 2024 Scottish National (4m, soft); not written off in first-time blinkers. |

11st 7lb |
Five wins when trained in UK but pulled-up in a point and two chases last thrice and not easy to fancy after a break. |

27th Mar 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Winner of two bumpers (in 2020) and three races over jumps for Brian Ellison, the most recent in a 2m5f handicap chase at Cartmel last summer, pulled up in a point-to-point at Kildorrery on first start for Ian O'Connor; best watched. |

11st 8lb |
Kelso and Cartmel 2m5f-2m6f chase wins have been gained from two of his three lowest ever marks; work to do back up 5lb and there's pace rivalry if a repeat of last time's all-the-way tactics is planned. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Won a point and a Fakenham hunter chase about this time last year before predictably struggling at lengthy odds in the feature hunter chases at Cheltenham and Aintree; badly let down by his jumping in calmer waters afterwards and this 11yo now has much to prove. |

14th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 8lb |
Won a point and a Fakenham hunter chase in February before making no impact in the big hunter chases at Cheltenham and Aintree (behind when unseating); found no fluency and was well held when falling at Stratford (2m6f, good); comes with risks on the back of that effort but this is a modest contest. |

11th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Triple 3m hurdle winner in Ireland who had some fair chase form in home country last season but he hasn't settled down in Britain as yet and was beaten a long way in a recent point. |

10st 2lb |
Even from 2lb out of the handicap he's well treated on Irish form as recent as last February but was well beaten on his final two runs for Dermot McLoughlin and it's been the same story on his three outings for this yard. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Winning hurdler/chaser on heavy ground; has shown some fair form in points, but was well beaten last time and faces a stiffer task here. |

22nd Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Battled on well to win small-field Catterick chase (3m1f, heavy) off today's mark in January but looked out of sorts on both subsequent starts over fences; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this first hurdling start since 2021; others look much less risky. |
