11st 5lb |
Useful in 2m-2m6f novice hurdles last term, recording RPRs of 140 on three occasions; has not taken to chasing at all well this season, soundly beaten three times, and was sold from Gordon Elliott for 50,000euros in February; may be revived by a change of scenery and the return to hurdling, but he's something of a risky proposition in his first handicap. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Strong stayer who made short work of his rivals in the National Hunt Chase here (3m6f, heavy) last March and showed he could do more than just grind away when close up in the Bowl (3m1f, soft) at Aintree after; unable to go with Banbridge in the home straight in the King George at Kempton (3m) on Boxing Day and his pace was again lacking over 2m5f at Ascot (good) last month, but this test can see him back in a good place; a dollop of rain would help but he isn't a forlorn hope. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 8y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Second-season chaser who never landed a blow in good-ground King George last time (raced mostly on soft/heavy otherwise); not short of stamina, having been successful over 3m6f at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival, but his last attempt over 2m5f resulted in a win; major player provided he copes with the return to this distance and shows best form. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Ex Henry de Bromhead; unseated rider back under rules at Hexham on penultimate start but bounced back to justify favouritism at Ludlow (3m, good; 7l winner) the following week; top rated and tough to beat if in similar form. |

Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; unseated on hunter chase debut at Hexham last Monday but that was after two solid efforts in points and he should have a future in this sphere; respected. |

Off the mark at 19th attempt chasing last month when forcing tactics adopted in 3m2f Down Royal handicap, ready success on good ground; 7lb rise leaves him just 1lb out of the handicap which is negated by rider's claim; interesting if ground continues to dry out. |
