31st May 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Seems versatile regarding ground and has slipped to a workable mark but was inconsistent for Simon Earle last year and fell quite heavily on last month's stable debut; others look safer. |

15th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Landed good prize at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) in early 2024 and also has a good-ground course win on his CV; signed off for Simon Earle with poor run in December but makes stable debut from a workable mark; not ruled out. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Defied higher marks three times in 2024 but his 2025 form took a turn for the worse; chance depends on whether this first start of 2026 results in a turnaround. |

10st 13lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles but has looked out of sorts on the Flat and over hurdles this year; the new visor did nothing for him last time. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Won four times over hurdles; little promise on his first three attempts at chasing but there was much more encouragement in a never-nearer third of ten at Newbury (2m7f, heavy) four weeks ago; has been dropped 10lb in the weights since his chasing debut and drying ground should not inconvenience him in the slightest; could be ready to strike. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
A winner over hurdles at up to 3m but yet to get anything going over fences (0-3) and this is a tough race in which to put that right. |

24th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Soundly beaten over C&D in November after a long absence and also disappointed in a chase a fortnight later; needs to stage a revival but very well handicapped on old form (includes a soft-ground C&D win) and might be perked up by first-time cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

Verdict
There appeared to some confidence behind TUNE IN A BOX when he hosed up on his handicap debut and he can deal with the 9lb rise. Rare Clouds has the least to prove of his rivals.[Alistair Jones]
