9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, good to soft) last month; however, he was also pulled up at Leicester last February prior to winning this race at 22-1 (good to soft) so he's capable of bouncing back. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Only last April he enjoyed his finest hour when winning the hunters' chase over the Grand National fences (good to soft); followed that with a second over C&D to Music Drive before winning Stratford's Horse & Hound Cup; he's not without hope judged on all that and, although this year's form is underwhelming, so too was his run prior to winning at Aintree. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Landed two of British hunter chasing's three big prizes (Aintree, 2m5f and Stratford, 3m3f) during a 2024-25 season founded on consistency at a high level rather than progression; match-fitness is a given for his yard's runners and, with stamina to spare, he may not be for catching. |

30th May 2025 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Tenacious winner of the Aintree Foxhunters' last month (good to soft); strong-travelling nature can sometimes leave resources running dry close home, as appeared to be the case upped to 3m2f at Cheltenham latest, though that 8l second still represented his best ever good-ground form. |
