11st 3lb |
Versatile sort who won over 2m4f here on reappearance and has performed respectably over marathon trips since; stiff task from 4lb out of handicap last time; not ruled out back off proper mark. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice on good ground (2m5f/2m3f) for this new stable last season and has been placed on last three appearances, most recently when second over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 1lb lower today and seems very likely to be in the thick of things again. |

2nd 3 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Holding form well since January's Catterick success (2m3f, good), actually achieving more on RPRs when a close third at Newcastle latest; still well treated on his 2023-24 peak form, and no ground concerns. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won at Catterick in January (2m3f, good) and best form since when 0.5l second at Sedgefield last time (2m5f, good); conditions suit; chance. |

30th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Bumper, hurdle and chase winner at up to 2m5f, on good or slower; 6lb lower than his last win but has come close to that form only once in four starts since a lengthy layoff; blinkers go on. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
6-16 over fences, the latest win gained in this race a year ago (soft ground; also suited by good); returned from seven-month with encouraging run a fortnight ago and should now be teed up to defend his crown. |
16/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Has a good strike-rate over fences (6-15), latest win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) nearly a year ago; not at his best late last year on last two starts; now only 1lb above that win and Finn Lambert's claim will help, but needs to bounce back after his break. |
16/1 |

3rd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Already has six chase wins under his belt but he hasn't been quite on song since the latest of them, at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in July; will do well to add to his haul in this race. |

25th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Five wins when trained in UK but pulled-up in a point and two chases last thrice and not easy to fancy after a break. |

27th Mar 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Winner of two bumpers (in 2020) and three races over jumps for Brian Ellison, the most recent in a 2m5f handicap chase at Cartmel last summer, pulled up in a point-to-point at Kildorrery on first start for Ian O'Connor; best watched. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Kelso and Cartmel 2m5f-2m6f chase wins have been gained from two of his three lowest ever marks; work to do back up 5lb and there's pace rivalry if a repeat of last time's all-the-way tactics is planned. |
