13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 8lb |
Useful handicapper; easy winner of two hunter chases before a commendable fourth in the big one at the Cheltenham Festival; he was only 17-2 for the Aintree version but never emerged from midfield; entitled to take care of these. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Useful handicapper who posted easy wins this year in his first two hunter chases (3m/2m7f, good to soft/heavy); 14l fourth at the Cheltenham Festival last month (3m2f, good to soft) so has work to do with some of these, but he was left behind up the hill and is not ruled out back down in trip. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from ten months off to win hunter chases at Warwick (3m, good to soft) and Taunton (2m7f, heavy); not remotely pressed on either occasion and the RPRs were highly respectable; Paul Nicholls has won this four times and this 8yo could be interesting, provided he lasts home. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
All chase wins around 2m4f, including win at this meeting last year; Newbury specialist who landed fourth win at that track when bagging valuable handicap for second time on penultimate start; never won off a mark this high and drop back down to 2m also asks a question but he's impossible to rule out. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Back to something like his best last time, registering a second success in the Greatwood Gold Cup and taking C&D record to 4-6; won this contest in 2023 and 2024; back up the weights but commands respect kept to a scenario that suits him ideally. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Record of 3-5 at Newbury features a success in this contest two years ago; proved no match for Twinjets in most recent course start and was a faller in last two handicap attempts (out of depth in Grade 1 since); however, holds a major chance off current mark provided he's in top form. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Out of form in France this season but only 12 months ago he was beaten 2l in a 2m4f Kempton handicap (soft) off a 10lb higher mark; stamina for this far is not entirely proven but wouldn't be too dismissive. |

30th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Poor 1-17 strike-rate over fences but fair fifth in hot Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good to soft) in January on first run back with this yard and ran well when 2l third of six at Kempton (2m4f, soft) last month; this 10yo now contests his first veterans' chase and is firmly in calculations. |

24th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Campaigned in France from October 2021 until November 2023, winning once (over hurdles) and making the frame plenty of times; not disgraced in a warm race at Cheltenham four weeks ago on his return to British soil, taking fifth of 13 at 50-1, but he is only 1-16 over fences (the win in 2019) and does not look the percentage call. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Rallied for a near miss over C&D in December (Regal Renaissance challenging when falling) and he was part responsible for the strong pace off which Rodney won at Hereford (2m5f, soft); capable of being involved should this pan out more favourably. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won this race on chasing debut in 2023 and was also on target at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) the following January; drew a blank and became rather disappointing last season but can be very dangerous off current mark if revitalised after 225-day break. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Solid performances in notable handicaps this season, winning the Badger Beers at Wincanton then fourth in the Stayers' Veterans' Final at Sandown and Ladbrokes Trophy over C&D; retains plenty of ability despite his advancing years; respected back down in class. |

Jumped well and dominated throughout in the Badger Beers at Wincanton (3m1f, good; handles softer) and gave it another good go off this 8lb higher mark at Sandown; assured competition for the lead here has to reduce his appeal. |
