11st 10lb |
0-6 during his last campaign but he dropped down the weights and returned with encouraging second to a handicap blot at Stratford (2m3f, good to soft); could build on that latest run and he's one to consider. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Eight-time chase winner at up 3m1f but he's well into the veteran stage now and has struggled in three points this year; this looks tough on these terms back over regulation fences and others are preferred. |

19th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Looked rather gone at the game last winter so connections and rider Jack Power have done brilliantly to get his enthusiasm back at his age; he completed the hat-trick a shade cosily at Sedgefield (2m5f, good; won on soft twice in midwinter) in March and another win is on the cards. |

Quite useful for Dan Skelton a few years ago but his only win since 2021 came in a two-runner point and was well beaten in his last two points. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Very well handicapped on old chasing form and seemed to have turned a corner when fourth over hurdles at Ludlow (3m, good) in April but last month's Huntingdon fouth was a rather laboured effort and others in this field have more persuasive profiles; won't mind what the weather does. |

21st May 2024 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Lost his way over fences last season and was safely held when back over hurdles in February but last month's staying-on fourth at Ludlow (3m, good; about 6l behind Planet Legend) was much more encouraging, and he remains very well handicapped on older form. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
A strong stayer but with a strike-rate of only 2-17 over fences and excuses are wearing thin; on the plus side, they were solid enough efforts on last two starts (3m4f/3m6f) and he nearly won off this mark on his reappearance (3m2f). |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled on heavy ground two starts ago (first-time cheekpieces) but quickly got back on track with battling second at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) this month; remains on a workable mark and good ground also suits; ought to make his presence felt again. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Last win came here back in 2022 and he's not proving easy to catch right nowadays either, tried in cheekpieces when pulled up in 3m2f handicap chase at Wincanton in January; others are preferred. |

29th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Below par over fences on final two runs last season and same story on sole run this term in November; however, he's dropped down the weights and the forecast heavy ground is right up his street; reverts to hurdles; respected. |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Grade 2 novice hurdle winner in January 2021 and he scored twice over fences at Haydock last winter (2m/2m4f, soft/heavy); below par on final two starts last season and same story on reappearance here in November, but he may have needed that last run and is not ruled out off a handy mark. |

26th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Maiden hurdle winner (2m, yielding) in Ireland for Gordon Elliott last season but was pulled up on his chase/stable debut in January and has finished in rear in both subsequent runs (2m4f); still early days over fences but he needs to raise his game on this step up to 3m. |

1st Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Maiden hurdle winner (2m, yielding) in Ireland for Gordon Elliott last season; pulled up on stable/chase/handicap debut in January but ran well for a long way at Sandown (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago and there's a decent chance he can take another step forward here. |

11th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 10y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Soft-ground point winner who won a 2m maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last March for Gordon Elliott; beaten soon after halfway on chase/stable debut at Wetherby (11-2) six weeks ago, returning with an irregular heartbeat; has questions to answer after that, but it's too soon to be writing him off. |
