2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 2lb |
Last win came in 3m Kempton handicap in Christmas of 2024; third to Bill Baxter in this race last year but not at best this season, chasing home a clear winner at Ludlow last time (only two finishers); 7lb lower than last year so don't rule out. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Appeared to get his campaign back on track when third over hurdles at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) and, when a 10l fifth over C&D since, he was softened up by getting competitive a good way out; he doesn't have a convincing profile but his pure ability is respected. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Out of form over fences this season but turned things around with creditable third over hurdles at Musselburgh (3m good to soft) last month and it will be interesting to see whether he can build on that performance on this return to chasing. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Scored twice over fences (around 3m) in March 2024; back from two years off in good nick, runner-up over 3m2f at Chepstow last month; can race off the same mark here so he's a player with Harry Cobden taking over. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 3 |

Not an unlucky loser, but may have run Broomfields Cave closer at Wincanton latest without pecking two out (3m1f, good); respected now back on track, though notably remains winless around a galloping track. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a double over fences at Taunton (2m7f, soft) in March 2024 but he's returned from 690 days off with two underwhelming runs (hurdles/chase) this spring; looks well handicapped on his old form but he needs to raise his game on this drop back in trip. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Big progress as hurdler initially last term (2m4f-3m) and also won handicaps when switched to chasing for first two starts this season (up to an extended 2m5f); 12-1 but unseated early for 3m Grade 1 novice at Kempton on Boxing Day (has similar Cheltenham entry); has a question to answer with new trip but, barring mishaps, best days are still ahead of him. |

10st 13lb |
Very smart in his heyday; returned to chasing at Cheltenham (extended 3m1f, soft) on New Year's Day and looked much more like his old self, asserting late on in a five-runner handicap; however, he singularly failed to back that up in a Grade 2 over that same C&D over three weeks later. |

1st Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |

Following a long absence this 10yo wasn't the force of old last season, and there's a doubt about his stamina nowadays (albeit he was a 3m winner over hurdles in 2020); however, having dropped down the weights he was a close third at Exeter (2m3f) in March on his final outing for Tom George, and he's respected on his first run for the up-and-coming Harry Derham. |

Grade 1 winner over fences in 2020 and still smart in 2023; now has a bit to prove after finishing tailed off in two staying handicap hurdles following a year on the sidelines; not sure what to expect on this hunter chase debut but, with his CV, he's dangerous to dismiss. |

Ended last season in good form, winning at Hereford (3m1f, soft) before good second at Haydock (3m1f, good); ran well (over hurdles) on only previous visit to Cartmel and has possibilities if this new trip suits; refused to line up and withdrawn at Aintree recently (8-1 at the time). |

Went up 5lb for winning a Class 4 at Hereford (3m1f, soft) and raised another 1lb for his second in a better race at Haydock (3m1f, good), finishing just ahead of Jacks Parrot; this 11yo is thriving and entitled to play a part in the finish. |
