25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 99y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Admirable veteran, albeit isn't quite the force of old and gained this season's win in substandard Grade 2 at Kempton (2m4f); also perhaps ideally suited by further than about 2m nowadays; beaten twice in this race. |

3rd 1 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
12yo whose career highlight came when winning the Tingle Creek in 2022; showed he retains considerable spark when winning Grade 2 at Kempton (2m4f, good) this January; he may prefer a longer trip than this nowadays but he's a leading player nevertheless now back in a handicap. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 13y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Acts on any ground; formerly a high-class chaser at about 2m, best form when winning the 2022 Tingle Creek; seems better suited by further nowadays and, despite his advancing years, managed to land a Grade 2 prize over 2m4f at Kempton most recently; recapturing Grade 1 honours at the age of 12 is not completely implausible, as he's technically still unexposed at this sort of trip and his two main rivals are also veterans. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 98y |
11st 12lb |
Rolled back the years with a dominant win at Fairyhouse on latest, his first start at 2m4f for almost six years; won this in 2022 and 2023 but he's a 12yo now and Paul Townend prefers the chances of Il Etait Temps; probably vulnerable to younger legs dropped back in trip. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 10lb |
High class operator in his pomp; has won eleven chases, including six at the top table; however, it seems like time is catching up with the 12yo and he was well held by Found A Fifty at Cork in December; tailed off at Leopardstown on latest in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); last ran at this trip in 2020; others preferred. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Top-class chaser won the Champion Chase in 2022-23 while he previously won a Grade 1 novice over C&D; returned after a long absence last season and wasn't at his best, but still capable of smart form; was third to Found A Fifty in a Cork Grade 2 on return but will have to improve a fair bit on that; does handle testing ground well; cheekpieces added. |

10th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Absent since 9l fourth to Editeur De Gite last January in Grade 1 at Cheltenham (2m, soft); however, he finished lame and had impressed previously in handicaps at Cheltenham (2m, good) and over this C&D (good; has also won on soft here); could have a part to play if returning at top of his game. |

Second-season chaser who made all at Cheltenham (2m, good) two weeks ago; won well over C&D in February then ran respectably in the Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival; looks the type to improve further; respected. |

13th Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Outsider in this contest for the last two years, flattered when second in 2022 (race fell apart) and early faller in 2023; following Boothill's late fall, he inherited a remote second behind Edwardstone at Newbury last month when bidding for a third Game Spirit success; has the worst chance judged on this season's form. |
100/1 |

2nd 3 |
10th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Has failed to threaten in handicaps on his four runs this season but was also below his best last term prior to a major revival when winning this race for the second consecutive year; four visits to Newbury have yielded three C&D wins (including on soft) and no surprise if he's bang there. |

6th 1 |
27th Jan 2024 Good 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Landed this prize in 2022 and also has two subsequent Grade 2 chase wins on his CV; on the downgrade now but last month's Cheltenham third (2m, soft) was very respectable and today's faster ground will suit. |

31st Mar 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Smart chaser in his prime; on the downgrade now and has rather mixed record over hurdles this season but lurks on a very tempting mark and ought to handle today's ground well; will be very dangerous if perked up by first-time blinkers. |
