10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who is well handicapped on form shown as recently as December 2024, when runner-up in the King George at Kempton (3m, good), and he'll be a thrilling sight over these fences if back on song following wind surgery; however, pulled up on his last two starts and has plenty to prove. |

26th Dec 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Trained in France (stablemate of General En Chef); has flopped at Auteuil on two of his last three starts (pulled up there last month, reportedly burst a blood vessel); arrives with something to prove but he won a Grade 3 at Auteuil (2m6f, heavy) in September and could be tough to beat if in the same brilliant form that saw him make all by 11l in the Grade 1 Kauto Star Novices' Chase over C&D (good) on this card 12 months ago. |

26th Dec 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
French challenger; pushed subsequent Grade 1-winning hurdler Irish Point to within a length in a bumper; five wins out of six over hurdles back home included a Grade 1 and he's won both his chases at Auteuil (2m1f, very soft; 2m6f, heavy) without breaking sweat; has raced mostly left-handed and this ground will be faster than he's encountered (unraced on ground quicker than officially good to soft) but he looks very exciting. |
