25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Form dipped in Cheltenham Festival handicap returned to fences last time; multiple Grade 2 winner but has raced mostly at about 2m and isn't crying out for this step back up in trip; first go beyond a sharp 2m4f. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Listed/Grade 2 wins over hurdles this term; goes back over fences for the first time since last May and he's 1-5 in this sphere, the win coming in a Grade 2 novice last February; sixth of 15 off this mark in the Scottish Champion Hurdle in April 2024 when he last tackled a handicap; may be vulnerable. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Front-runner who is 2-3 since returned to hurdles from fences, winning races at Kempton (Listed) and Wincanton (Elite Hurdle) that he also took in 2023 and 2024; held in a 9l third at Kempton on Boxing Day but that was behind Sir Gino in a Grade 1 and he's strongly respected on this drop back in class; most of his wins have been on good ground but he's effective on soft. |

30th Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat but 0-6 over hurdles; ran well when fifth on return to this sphere at Taunton (2m, good to soft) last month but was below that form on his latest outing and his stamina heads into unknown territory here; others preferred. |

4th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-11 under rules; back from a long absence to finish third on his chase debut (2m4f, soft; beaten about 14l) and the dreaded 'bounce' appeared to rear its ugly head when tailed off back at Leicester over Christmas; the removal of cheekpieces (wore no headgear two runs back) could help matters; should stay. |

28th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-6 in points, 0-8 over hurdles and his third on chase/stable debut here a month ago was fairly remote; no real significance in the return of cheekpieces but it wasn't a bad latest run and this race is weak. |

30th Jan 2025 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Runner-up in maiden hurdle here (1m7f, good to soft) in April 2023 and won AW handicap 13 days later; however, following a long absence he's been pulled up in two handicap hurdles this season and has plenty to prove. |

18th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Modest dual 1m4f Flat winner; showed something over hurdles in spring 2023 over the minimum trip but little when returned to this sphere for 2m handicap in November; trying an extra mile today is not greatly persuasive. |

Winning miler in Jersey where she did most of her running on the Flat; might stay the trip round here over hurdles but others appeal more. |

13th Oct 2022 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Some reasonable runs in defeat of late, including when fourth of seven at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) on Tuesday, but he needs something extra if he's to boost his modest 2-45 strike-rate. |
