11st 3lb |
Won 2m6f maiden hurdle at Exeter but minimal impact in handicaps since and fifth of six finishers at Wincanton recently; dam was a 3m-4m chase winner, though, so this second start over fences could offer a way forward. |

Ran well in only one of six hurdling starts for Dan Skelton last season and, having rejoined Sam Loxton, was pulled up in a hunter chase in February; last of three finishers in 4m point last month; revival needed. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Veteran who is on a losing run but ran well enough for a long way in a Class 2 handicap at Chepstow two months ago (2m7f, good to soft) to command respect at this lower level; goes well on this ground. |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice over C&D in 2023-24 season and ran well when fourth over C&D in February but this 12yo is far too inconsistent to rely upon nowadays, and has been absent since two heavy defeats in the spring. |

24th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |

Veteran who has proved far from consistent since winning a Pertemps qualifier at Chepstow 14 months ago; not the percentage call. |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Strike-rate of 6-17 over hurdles and the latest of those wins was off a 3lb higher mark; however, there's been pretty much nothing to take from his last five appearances and would appear to be going chasing under a cloud. |
12/1 |

25th Jan 2024 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Six wins between November 2022 and May 2023 included one over C&D (good); back to within 1lb of the final winning mark in that sequence, but too far below par the last four times to expect him to capitalise. |
16/1 |

16th Dec 2023 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Between November of last year and this May he won six times in seven starts (2m3f-2m4f); however, shot up the weights as a consequence and he's beaten only one finisher in his last three appearances; has stamina to prove. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won over fences at Sedgefield last autumn and kept on for creditable second of 12 behind Ocean Legacy when back over hurdles there (3m3f, good to soft) in February; absent since disappointing C&D run in March but resumes on a workable mark. |

Verdict
Howaya Now comes into it on his Newbury form in the spring but his recent chase fall was a heavy one and he needs to put that behind him. Classic Concorde hardly turned a hair when winning last time out and is also respected but ZWICKY gets the vote in receipt of weight all round. He doesn’t look the easiest of rides but stamina was very much in evidence when winning on Carlisle’s stiff track in October and his recent foray over 2m5f also suggested he can cope with this step up in trip.[Emily Weber]
