25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Good-ground specialist with 11 chase wins on his CV, including 2025 edition of this race; shaped well before weakening into fourth at Bangor (2m1f, good) this month, after a layoff, and can make a bold bid from the front under Sean Bowen. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Good-ground specialist who made all in small field at Wetherby (1m7f, good) on latest outing in the autumn, his 11th chase success; won when fresh last spring but is slightly out of the weights here and may find younger rivals better handicapped. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Ten-time chase winner, mainly on good ground; pulled up soon after mid-race jumping error last time but won at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) in the spring and was a creditable second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) two starts ago; can make his presence felt. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Chasing did not go to plan but he's returned to hurdles on last two starts, runner-up over C&D (good to soft) on latest despite not always jumping fluently; off the same mark, he should make his presence felt. |

6th Jun 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
AW Flat win at 7f and stamina is still a query over hurdles; pulled up over C&D in April (good to soft) and, while return to good ground will suit, some doubts persist about his staying power. |

28th Apr 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Safely held on handicap debut in January but fared much better when fourth at Huntingdon (2m, good) in February, despite wasting energy by pulling hard in the early stages; can improve again if he learns to settle. |

Doesn't win too often on the Flat these days but he has been placed on his last two starts, chasing home Seraphic at Chelmsford four weeks ago (1m2f); each-way claims again. |

10st 6lb |
0-15 over hurdles and 0-61 overall; very well handicapped on some of last year's form but was safely held over C&D (good) last month and remains a difficult horse to enthuse over; raced mainly on good ground; once placed on the Flat on soft. |
