9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up in the Becher here in December and his two subsequent hunter chase runs have yielded an early fall and disappointing defeat; twice placed over these fences, however, most recently in the Grand Sefton over C&D in November, and could have an each-way shout if back on song in change of headgear. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Pulled up in the Becher Chase at Aintree in December but finished a very good second in the Grand Sefton (2m5f, good to soft) the previous month; returned to hunter chasing with quite a spill at Catterick a fortnight ago but holds leading claims if that hasn't left a mark. |

Pulled up in the Becher Chase at Aintree last time but had previously finished a very good second in the Grand Sefton (2m5f, good to soft); did well hunter chasing back in 2024 and the one to beat. |

Odds-on when beating Bardenstown Lad and Bothwell Bridge in successive points through the winter but he was only fifth of seven back in a hunter chase last month; this demands a career best by some margin; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

Teenager who has gone over two years since his latest win and has been out of form this season (three runs); revival needed. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won this race in 2024 (soft ground) but never really got going last season and was very disappointing favourite in a point last month, after a layoff; now a teenager and needs to prove he still has what it takes. |

3rd May 2024 Good 4m 0f 97y Class 4 |

Capable of low-150s RPRs here and elsewhere in his pomp, and recorded his first successes since late 2020 (and the rider's first ever) in a pair of conditions events between the flags this spring (soft, good; beat Mitchouka 9l latest); more needed, but clearly back on good terms with himself. |

Very useful chaser in his prime but, following a long layoff, made low-key stable debut when sixth of seven over hurdles in March; sports refitted cheekpieces here; current ability is very hard to gauge. |

Landed the John Corbet in 2019 (Pink Eyed Pedro third), and record in last four renewals of this contest reads 12P5 (all on good); all out to land a High Easter match for this year's sole success so far, and 15l to find with Jeffery's Cross on their Cheltenham clash. |

Nine career wins include an open point for these connections in December 2022 (3m, good), but unseen since April 2023 and conjectural how much ability he retains at 14; 20l eighth in this in 2021. |

Smart hurdler/chaser in Ireland and he ran okay in last season's cross-country race at the Cheltenham Festival; it's been a poor 12 months otherwise and pulling up in a recent hunter chase makes him very opposable back over hurdles. |
