12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who hasn't offered a great deal since returning from nearly a year out and it's seldom easy for veterans to rediscover their form; however, this is a much easier race than he's accustomed to. |
9/4 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Free-going nature; no win since landing a Class 3 at Newbury (2m, 13-8 joint-favourite) in March 2023; fell at Cheltenham (80-1) on penultimate start and was equally out of his depth in the Grade 2 Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton over Christmas; this is more realistic. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Still on a good mark despite winning twice this season (2m/2m4f; soft/good) and was 11-2 for the veterans' final over C&D earlier this month, only to depart early; has a lot in his favour so merits each-way consideration. |
16/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Two wins this season (2m/2m4f, soft/good) and 10l third behind an 8yo and a 7yo at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in January; 20l fourth in another competitive handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in February but that form is working out well and he's back against fellow veterans today; chance. |
11/1 |
|
4th 9 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Has a solid record (1313) over 2m/2m4f this season but gained the wins in Class 3 and finished 10l behind a couple of younger rivals, albeit not disgraced, in Class 1 at Cheltenham most recently; the 10yo looks under some pressure kept to this level. |

11th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 12y Class 4 |

Three-time chase winner on good ground, twice over 2m2f here; on a tempting mark now but has lost his way a bit this season and conditions are likely to remain softer than he prefers today. |

5th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Took a while to get his act together over fences but came good with comfortable win at Doncaster (2m3f, good) last month and is still quite well handicapped if judged on best hurdling form; likely contender. |
5/1 |

1st 4 |
3rd Mar 2023 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |

travelled strongly, midfield, headway 4 out, pressed leader going easily 3 out, led 2 out, pushed along and went clear approaching last, kept on strongly run-in, comfortably |

2nd Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made more of an impact over hurdles but he's not been discredited in recent chase starts; hooded on last 11 starts but now has cheekpieces. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual 2m4f chase winner at Wincanton; had dropped to a career-low mark when returning to form with a near miss at Warwick (2m4f, good) and fair chance if following one good run with another. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
30th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Dual 2m4f chase winner (both good to soft) at Wincanton, where six of his best seven efforts have come; handy mark but little encouragement in his recent form. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 |
11th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice over 2m4f in 2022-23 season but was out of form last term and is yet to convince stamina-wise over this sort of trip; drops in grade today but still needs to up his game. |
