27th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
12st 4lb |
Two soft-ground wins earlier in career but minor form on that surface now and unraced on heavy, while his front-running win over three rivals in this race last year came on good ground; can be involved if he does cope with the surface. |

12st 6lb |
Useful in the past; opened his hunter chase account at Leicester (2m6f, good) in February and subsequent odds-on defeat is better than it looked on the day (winner franked the form next time); respected. |

12st 0lb |
Won this in 2021 and bang there until two out in repeat bid last year (not helped by blunder five out); two wins this season but gives impression he's not as good as he was; still expected to be up there for a long way. |

28th Feb 2023 Good To Firm 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
12st 4lb |
His second in C&D novice hunter chase two years ago was the start of something big as he went on to win the Foxhunters' at Aintree; was only fifth in that race last year but had useful form at the start of 2022; unraced on good to firm; looks the one to beat after recent spreadeagling point win. |

30th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Raced in points this winter, winning at Chaddesley Corbett then disappointing favourite at Larkhill; useful hunter chaser on his day, notably winning the 2021 Foxhunters' at Aintree; close second in this race last year and again looks one of the main contenders. |

11st 12lb |
Regressive 11yo who was well beaten when fourth in pair of 2m4f Ludlow hunter chases this spring; needs first-time visor to make a massive difference here. |

Triple chase winner in his time but was out of sorts in three points and a hunter chase since returning from an absence last winter; best watched back from more time off. |
