29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 185y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Unseated rider (still prominent) at Sandown in January when seeking a second success in the veterans final; battled his way back to pip Gabbys Cross for a Newbury win (3m2f) four weeks ago and, although 5lb rise takes him to his highest mark since 2022, this sterling character needs major respect. |

10st 11lb |
Unseated rider three out, having still been prominent, at Sandown last time when bidding for a second success in the final of this series; remains on the last winning mark, so holds a fighting chance provided he's in good form and completes the course. |

Six-time chase winner; long in the tooth now but was placed in Newbury veterans' chase (3m2f, soft) on latest outing last March and has a good record when fresh; shortlised on hunter chase debut. |

10st 9lb |
Shaped well on seasonal debut at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) in October and was very respectable fifth at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) later that month; didn't fire when back at Cheltenham 18 days ago but this race is less competitive and he's on a good mark. |

16th Nov 2024 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Won this in 2021 and he hasn't run badly on his two starts this autumn, latest when 14l fifth of 18 over C&D (good); however, he needs a bigger performance today if he's to snap an 11-race losing sequence. |

11th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Gained all four chase wins here (good-soft), the latest over today's trip two years ago; very inconsistent in the meantime and not seen since heavy defeat at Newton Abbot in May but both his course record and his record when fresh make him of strong interest today. |
6/1 |

29th May 2024 Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
All his chase wins have come at Chepstow but he has form elsewhere and this is a softer race than at Cheltenham last month; however, he did bleed that day and there's no denying he has a point to prove. |

Gained all four chase wins at Chepstow but his third on the Old course here (3m1f, good to soft) in October was right up there with his best form; ran very poorly (albeit on heavy ground) last time and has a point to prove. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Down to this mark when nearly winning for the first time in seven years at Huntingdon in March and a slightly lesser effort when third at Hereford (also 2m, good) came just one week later; not ruled out. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |

Came very close to a first win in seven years when narrowly denied at Huntingdon (2m, good) seven days ago; can race keenly and unlikely to get an easy lead here, but worth considering if reproducing that effort off the same mark. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Inconsistent in recent years but has always been talented and the horse who beat him on his hunter chase debut at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) has run well since in defeat (behind Bardenstown Lad who was well held last week at Cheltenham); Paul Nicholls has won three of the last six runnings of this race. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Formerly smart but inconsistent in recent years and he was pulled up in a 2m7f handicap chase on his return in October (after further wind surgery); still dangerous to dismiss in a hunter chase (debut) on the strength of his close third at Taunton last March (three runs back). |

11st 9lb |
Seemingly on the downgrade now but enjoyed the chance to dominate small field from the front at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago; contests a much deeper race here but recent 4lb rise ought to be manageable and he's evidently in good heart. |

Very useful in Ireland in his prime but 0-7 and generally very disappointing for Evan Williams since last autumn; returns from break on another career-low mark but considered only if lively in the betting. |

High-class hurdler/chaser in his prime but has struggled for a long time now and although this is a welcome drop in grade he continues with something to prove; cheekpieces discarded. |

10st 10lb |
Last four victories all gained over Ffos Las's 3m4f trip in April or May (good, good to soft); present attainment level is conjectural, having survived just two fences on his recent first outing since last May. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 136y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
A regular in long-distance chases, with an excellent record at Ffos Las but pulled up on all four appearances over these fences (twice in Welsh National); he's now a 13yo with no win since May 2024 (his only race under Edward Vaughan) but some ability remained last spring when last seen and he's accelerating down the weights. |

3rd 4 |
26th May 2025 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
A regular in long-distance chases and faces an easier task than on some occasions; two decent efforts when fifth of eight at Newbury (3m2f, soft) and 21l last of three at Haydock (3m4f, good) in March but was well beaten at Perth last time; others preferred. |
