9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very talented in his prime; this 10yo isn't the force of old and today's race is much tougher than the hunter chases he's won easily on his last two starts (2m4f, good to soft/good) but if he can tap further into his back-class he may well be in the mix; James King has won this twice. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Listed winner in his prime and has made a solid start to hunter chasing, namely a close second and easy success at Wincanton; should follow up. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Powers were on the decline when confined to hurdling last season but he was a classy chaser back in the day and nearly won his first hunter chase over 3m1f here a month ago (heavy); may need that longer trip now but strong claims otherwise. |

22nd Feb 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
9yo who appears to have regressed but heavy ground may have been too much at Sandown three weeks ago and prior to that he was a fair fourth at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft); his two biggest wins have come at Kempton and he's one to consider now back here off a dangerous mark. |

1st Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 2 |

Has gained both chase wins over 2m4f but ran creditably in the 2023 Haldon Gold Cup on last attempt at about 2m; faded into fourth over 2m3f on latest outing; possibilities off an attractive mark back down in trip. |

28th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Placed a few times at Listed/Graded level over fences in France; remote last of three finishers at Ascot (2m3f) on British debut; that effort doesn't suggest a first chase win is imminent but some improvement looks possible, given his French form; tongue-tie/cheekpieces refitted. |

18th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 2f 175y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Unplaced on both chase starts in 2020 but showed aptitude; has improved over hurdles since, finishing fourth in a competitive handicap at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) in April when last seen, and he has a 7lb lower mark to work with now back over fences; versatile ground-wise; could go well. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Winless away from galloping tracks, but recorded some of his best RPRs in Graded chases around Kempton and the Mildmay Course; still capable of fairly useful form little more than a year ago, and right in the mix if racing more sparingly with the hood debuted latest quickly discarded. |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |

Has made the frame in a couple of points this winter for new yard; fairly useful for previous stable and, accordingly, is one of the main players on ratings in this hunter chase debut; hood applied. |
