5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Started this season brightly, notably when second to Kandoo Kid in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); he'd have a good shout judged on that display and going beyond 3m2f made plenty of appeal even before that; however, he disappointed at Cheltenham on New Year's Day and ran badly there last month; cheekpieces (tried at this meeting last year, tailed off) return. |

11st 12lb |
Didn't jump fluently when below par here on New Year's Day; however, he's reportedly had his knees medicated since and two starts ago was a fine second in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); two wins here (3m/3m2f) during last season's novice campaign; in the mix if back on song. |

Won a similar event at Catterick in good style in March (3m1f, good) but pulled up at Hexham last time; needs to bounce back. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Quite useful in his prime and he won a point in February (3m, good to soft) before easily following up in a hunter chase at Catterick last month (3m1f, good; Lunar Contact second); strong claims. |

One-time quite useful staying hurdler/chaser who won a point on second start for present connections last month (3m, good to soft); this tougher, but a contender. |

9th Mar 2025 Soft 3m 0f 174y |
10st 6lb |
Won three in a row early in 2023; has finished second in three of his five starts since returning from a lengthy spell on the sidelines; backed up a promising Windsor run when staying on well behind Monbeg Park over 2m5f at Leopardstown last Sunday; would have been closer but for interference; extra distance should suit. |

2nd Mar 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 107y |
10st 0lb |
Won three in a row early in 2023 (including here) and back from a long layoff with good second at Galway (2m6f, soft) in October; better again on latest when chasing home a hot favourite in 2m6f Windsor handicap in January (soft), having been hampered run-in; back up in grade here but only 1lb wrong and likely major player. |
4/1 |

17th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 6f 41y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Won three in a row early in 2023 and back from a long layoff with good second at Galway (2m6f, soft) in October this term; two lesser efforts over 3m at Navan have followed (the Troytown on first occasion) but he needs a second look for his highly respected stable. |

11st 7lb |
Won this in 2024 (heavy) and he was a promising second at Carlisle (3m, soft) in November 2025 on his second start back from a long absence; tailed off at Haydock since but he was 7lb out of the handicap and made a bad mistake mid-race; he's one to consider now back down in grade. |

11st 13lb |
Added to his strong chase record at Exeter with a win over the extended 2m1f there (good to soft) in January; just as good when runner-up over 2m4f on heavy at Wincanton since; bold show likely off the same mark. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Well beaten before last-fence refusal on latest outing in February but has a largely consistent record over hurdles; will be suited by the trip/ground and has slipped to a good mark; each-way claims at least. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has won three times over hurdles and finished third for the fourth successive time in that sphere at Southwell (3m, good to soft) 15 days ago; back over fences after a couple of failed attempts in November 2023 but tends to find at least one too good. |
9/1 |
