25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Seems best making the running or racing prominently; his six races in the last 14 months have been a mixed bag, with an Ascot win (3m, good) in November the highlight; just 1lb higher today and ran respectably on penultimate start, but his two earlier attempts at 3m6f/4m did not work out; a tongue-tie (worn twice in 2023, with a win on first occasion) returns. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Back to form when 5l behind Deep Cave last time at Ascot (3m, good to soft) but he does look vulnerable to better-treated opposition, for all that he's just 2lb higher than for November's win at Ascot; likely to race on the front end. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Record of 4-9 over fences, his best form when winning by 6l at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft; 5lb higher today); disadvantaged when slowly away (from a standing start) in the Ultima at Cheltenham and yet still made a challenge three out before fading; never got competitive in the Scottish National but he wasn't alone; a stiff 3m around here looks up his street; shortlisted. |

13th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Creditable efforts in defeat in Graded novice chases this winter (3m, good/good to soft) and ran well for long way in 3m6f NH Chase at Cheltenham last month (heavy; beaten 32l); could be in the mix now back down in trip and back in a handicap, provided the removal of cheekpieces isn't an issue. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Consistent sort who won this two years ago (soft); Panic Attack has better form and she's run just once this season, but that was a solid effort when third of five at Carlisle in November over an inadequate 2m4f (good to soft), and she can give a good account. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Classy mare but very much a stayer having won last season's 3m4f Grand National Trial at Haydock (good to soft; kept on) in February, after which she disappointed in the Midlands National; does travel strongly so unwise to dismiss purely on the strength of today's trip, especially on a stiff track; returns with yard in form. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
C&D winner at a different meeting last October on his reappearance and later ran well in a 3m Grade 2 at Ascot until a costly late mistake; disappointed the final time in a strong handicap at Aintree but went off favourite that day off a 1lb higher mark and evidently failed to give his running; remains an interesting handicapper. |

13th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Lightly raced 3m point winner whose best hurdle run came over 3m, and he tackled that trip for the first time over fences in a Grade 2 novice at Ascot (3m, good to soft) in February, travelling well into contention but making a race-losing mistake at final fence (finished 3l fourth of five); there will be a slight doubt about him if he's back on soft/heavy but he's unexposed over staying trips and could be better than his current mark. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 214y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced 10yo who posted a resurgent effort in small field at Taunton (2m7f) most recently; form at Newbury features a success over 2m7f in 2023 and placed effort in the Mandarin over 3m2f in 2024; respected off an attractive mark switched to a veterans' contest. |

12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 10yo who disappointed on seasonal debut in November (first run after latest of three wind ops) and has now been pulled up on three of his last four appearances; eased in grade today but needs to get career back on track. |
