11st 7lb |
Useful over hurdles and fences on his day; out of sorts since chase success last May but this is a drop back in class and mark is workable on best form. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Good ground suits but he's not the easiest to predict at the best of times and has run badly in all three races since his chase win at Aintree (3m1f, good) last May; had a second wind operation before penultimate start and was back hurdling for latest; well treated on best form but the chances of his reproducing it seem to be receding. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Returned from long absence with two below-par runs over 3m2f at Newbury towards end of last year, albeit first was in major handicap; well handicapped on old form and should be fine stamina-wise on cross-country debut but would appeal more on good ground and others have much less to prove |

2nd 9 |
27th Apr 2024 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Won Great Yorkshire Chase at Doncaster (3m, good) in January and that form has been franked by the runner-up; soft ground against him next time; fair sixth in this race last year (good to soft) and he may be able to improve upon that finishing position if good going prevails this afternoon. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from 342-day absence with a pretty good third at Taunton (3m, good to soft) last month behind two next-time-out winners and competes off the same mark here; respected. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
No win under rules since 2019 (he took a point in 2020) but he's well down the weights and competitive often enough, including at Newbury last March on latest start, to be considered each-way even though he may have a bit more to prove at his age first time out. |

3rd 2 |
21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Still in touch when unseating four out at Ascot last time (2m7f, good; 50-1) but it was still a long way from home; hasn't won under rules since 2019 and much-reduced mark looks justified. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner; seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces (retained) when very respectable third at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) this month but has become too inconsistent to rely upon. |

3rd 5 |
1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
5-32 over hurdles (2m-3m2f), including on good to firm; first run back from a break in April was encouraging but he's gone backwards since and has to be forgiven a poor effort latest; on a fair mark if first-time cheekpieces help. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Possible to say he's been temptingly handicapped for a while now, but dropping into a 0-110 here for just the second time; some hope if getting a less contested lead than last time (C&D), which isn't a given. |

Classy chaser at his best for Nicky Henderson before losing his way, albeit in the face of some tough assignments; current ability hard to gauge having unseated mid-race in a point last month after 12 months off. |

Mostly disappointing for Dan Skelton but he was previously a five-time winner for Joseph O'Brien; second on his debut for this yard at Killarney last July; pulled up at Bellewstown the following month; back to form when springing a 28-1 surprise at Killarney last month, 6lb higher now. |

1st Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 7f 98y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Has never tried this sort of trip with heavy ground but it could help; however, pulled up in this race in 2023 on his only visit to Sandown, went off the boil last January-May and although there's been a partial revival since, he needs better to take this warm race; 5lb claimer enlisted. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |

Useful over fences and hurdles in his prime; three races this spring represents his busiest spell for ages and he was second of four over fences at Exeter (3m, good) on second occasion, but return to hurdling saw him well held over C&D (despite similar form) one month ago. |

Useful over fences and hurdles in his prime, winning four times at up to 2m5f; very lightly raced now but he showed signs of a revival when second of four over fences at Exeter (3m, good) three weeks ago; mark continues to fall and he's not ruled back in trip on return to hurdling. |
