23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Very useful chaser at his best, last win coming in the 2024 Old Roan Chase at Aintree (2m4f, good); highly tried this term, best run when second in a Listed chase at Kelso in February (2m7f, good to soft); on a fair mark now. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Inconsistent nowadays but ran well in second when facing an impossible mission behind Protektorat at Kelso (2m7f, good to soft) last time; now 5lb lower than when third in the Old Roan Chase at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) in October and this C&D winner is capable of being involved. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Smart on his day and ran creditably when third in the Old Roan at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) in October, a race he'd won in 2024; however, two runs since have been poor and he has to concede weight all round. |

28th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Course winner over hurdles; promising novice last season but hasn't progressed, best run when second (of three) at Kelso in February (2m5f, good); not so good there last time and visor now replaced cheekpieces; on a good mark. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
12yo who lacked fluency when back over fences and was soundly beaten at Haydock in December; however, prior to that he made a fairly encouraging return from an absence over hurdles at Ayr and he's a six-time winner at Kelso; could have a part to play now back here. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Likeable veteran whose ten wins include six at Kelso and three here; made a successful reappearance in 3m2f chase at Kelso (from Famous Bridge) last autumn; doesn't run often over hurdles these days but he has a lower mark and cannot be ruled out completely. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Won over C&D (soft) in February before respectable sixth of 17 in veterans' final at Haydock (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; 11 visits to Ayr have yielded five wins and this is his time of year; could go well. |
16/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
His last six wins have come in the months of February, March or April and he returned to form to win at Ayr (2m4f, soft) 40 days ago; runner-up in this race two years ago (soft) and won over C&D (good to soft) last February; that latest win reads well and a 4lb rise isn't harsh; possible player. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
12yo who hasn't been at the top of his game on either outing this term and was tailed off at Aintree most recently; however, this is the stage of the season when he tends to come good and he's 2lb lower than when scoring at Haydock last February; has won here four times, and on various ground. |

16th Feb 2023 Good To Firm 1m 7f 201y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Pulled up at Market Rasen in December but has run well in three other chases, the latest when touched off at Uttoxeter (in cheekpieces for first time); good to firm ground asks a question but clearly the one to beat. |
