9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Proved his stamina and made it 5-5 under rules (all in hunter chases) when beating Its On The Line by a neck to win the big one at Cheltenham (3m2f, good to soft) last month, despite a mistake at the final fence; has also won on good going; he doesn't appear to be straightforward but clearly knows how to win and should be fine back down in trip; major player. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, good to soft) last month; however, he was also pulled up at Leicester last February prior to winning this race at 22-1 (good to soft) so he's capable of bouncing back. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up at 50-1 in this last year and same outcome at the Cheltenham Festival last month, when 100-1; however, that latest outing was his first run for 110 days and he may have needed it; in front when making a bad blunder at the final fence at Bangor (3m, soft) last February and that form suggests he might not be a forlorn hope each-way, at what should be a big price. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won here at last May's hunter chase meeting but that was 2m; his 3m point wins came chiefly in small-field affairs and he was left clear late on when successful over that trip at Ludlow on latest start, and the time was ordinary; could run well for a long way but ultimately prove vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Only last April he enjoyed his finest hour when winning the hunters' chase over the Grand National fences (good to soft); followed that with a second over C&D to Music Drive before winning Stratford's Horse & Hound Cup; he's not without hope judged on all that and, although this year's form is underwhelming, so too was his run prior to winning at Aintree. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Beaten 6l by Golden Son at Warwick in January and his subsequent wins (in the new cheekpieces) were races he was entitled to win at odds-on; lacks Cheltenham experience; opposable. |
66/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time point winner but turned over at odds-on in latest start in that sphere; Gracchus De Balme and Linelee King have had his measure in the past. |
100/1 |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
12st 4lb |
Took well to first-time cheekpieces in similar event (2m6f, heavy) at the last Leicester fixture, opening his chase account; solid effort on penultimate start; commands respect in the retained headgear. |
2/1 |

1st 6 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Maiden hurdle and two-time point winner (including on heavy ground) who was runner-up in a hunter chase at Warwick (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; that performance reads well in today's context and he's a key player in first-time cheekpieces. |
11/10 |
