10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Soundly beaten when just 17-2 at last year's Festival (2m4f); finally opened his chase account in November, before staying-on fifth in major handicap at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) where he was badly hindered at the unsatisfactory start; 13l win at Sandown (3m, soft; made most) on latest outing confirmed he's got his act together, which earned a 7lb rise but he needs respect. |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Opened his chase account on reappearance, then did well to finish fifth in major handicap at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) having badly hindered at the unsatisfactory start; lost chance with bad mistake four out when beaten favourite at Ascot since; remains of interest, assuming he puts in an error-free round. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Has the best hurdles form in this field and his good efforts (twice runner-up) over fences last season were even better; however, he was below form in first-time cheekpieces on penultimate outing and failed to complete on starts either side, the latest 11 days ago; that dents his case today (in returning cheekpieces) but he is the standout on form. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Won this race last year (at Cheltenham) off today's mark; turned her back on chasing this winter and ran quite well over 3m at Kempton before finding soft ground too testing at Ludlow; plenty looks in her favour this time with cheekpieces added. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to hurdling with respectable sixth at Kempton (3m, good) just after Christmas and is now only 2lb higher than when winning valuable final of this series at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last April but the ground here will probably be slower than she prefers. |
14/1 |

2nd 3 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Career-best form to end last season, winning at Chepstow before collecting a mares' final at Cheltenham (both about 2m4f on good); ran respectably on return to hurdling three weeks ago but she was below form in February on her only attempt over this far; chase debut. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Generally fast-weakening efforts since returning from a winter break, so the recourse to wind surgery is unsurprising; mark never lower, but effectiveness down at 2m4f hasn't been tested since March 2024. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Three-time hurdles winner, most recently at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in April last year, but pulled up twice since returning from a break this spring and again ran below form when fifth of six, beaten 21l, at Huntingdon last month; best watched for now. |
12/1 |

5th 5 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Pulled up on consecutive appearances towards end of last season but seemed to run well until tiring on soft ground at Ayr last time; could be better suited by the less-testing conditions here; not ruled out. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Maiden hurdle was her only win from 14 races for Willie Mullins; placed on five of nine attempts over fences, mostly running well last season but she flopped when favourite for a 3m4f handicap on final start, with first-fence mistake playing a part; fetched 25,000gns in April and has similar form to most of these, plus more chasing experience. |
