25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Won this race (good ground) last year in first-time cheekpieces off a 10lb lower mark; first and second in two small fields this season, alongside two heavy defeats in top handicaps; tried blinkers when fading right out of it at the Cheltenham Festival last time and now reverts to cheekpieces; also back on firmer ground but a new career best is needed. |

11st 10lb |
Won the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (extended 3m4f, good) last April in first-time cheekpieces and returned to form when second at Windsor (2m6f, soft) in January; his jumping can sometimes lack fluency but, with first-time blinkers replacing the cheekpieces, he has an each-way chance if minimising the mistakes; fourth of 18 in the NH Chase here (3m6f, good to soft) last March. |

Won the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (3m4f, good) last April and reappeared with Listed Intermediate win at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft); also effective on soft ground; however, soundly beaten in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) last time and has something to find today. |

4th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two novice wins but beaten favourite on handicap debut in June; all hurdle form over 2m but won an Irish point and the handicap defeat suggested he may need a step up in trip; live claims if that's the case. |

26th Jun 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Irish point winner; had little to beat at Kelso last month (2m, good to firm) but his earlier hurdle win has some merit (two subsequent winners behind); opening mark looks reasonable and not hard to envisage him adding another success. |

9st 4lb |
Ran well when beaten just over a length into third of nine behind a couple of these over C&D in January; given a short break since and can go well fresh, but he is now 0-24 and others look a bit more solid. |

16th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

23-race maiden; wasn't beaten far (1.75l) when fourth to today's rival Spirit Of Ash over C&D in November, and meets that mare on improved terms if factoring in the 7lb claim of Tom Kiely-Marshall; latest effort excusable (1m6f), so isn't a forlorn hope from a career-low mark. |

Runner-up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last May and runs off 8lb lower today; however, he struggled on his four starts towards the end of last year; major turnaround required on first run since wind surgery. |

16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly promising fourth on hurdle debut in March 2023 and this lightly raced 8yo is one to watch in the betting following an absence; however, he made no impact when sixth late last year in his first two handicaps. |

In the frame in two Irish points in 2021; mainly modest form over hurdles, including on handicap debut here in November (2m4f, good to soft); stable in fine form and he's likely to fare better now upped in trip and switched to fences. |

Made it fourth-time lucky over fences when justifying favouritism on stable/seasonal debut at Ayr (2m5f, good) 25 days ago; up 7lb for that narrow win but he showed a good attitude to hold off the runner-up and this step back up in trip should be fine; key player. |

0-14 over hurdles but lost out only by a neck here (2m6f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in July and ran much better than bare form of 26l defeat might suggest at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last week; might be the answer. |
