11st 10lb |
On the face of it work on to reverse recent C&D form with Perseus Way and Sunset Hill despite a swing in the weights, but course record prior to that read four wins and (off 8lb higher) a short head second in this race last year ahead of two reopposing rivals; respected. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Has won eight of his 21 races over hurdles; doesn't seem to be the force of old as was pulled up at Haydock last time having finished last of eight on previous hurdle run. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Tailed off on his final hurdle start in November and three subsequent chase runs leave him with further questions to answer; potentially on a useful mark if he can get back on track, but there are clearly risks attached. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Unfair to knock his strike-rate of 1-12 over fences as he's run some crackers in defeat, with four seconds last season including a strong C&D handicap and the Ultima at Cheltenham in March; quite likely that he was over the top when last to finish in the 3m1f Grade 1 novice at Aintree; tough, consistent and much respected despite a challenging mark. |

Only 1-11 over fences, the success in a Grade 2 Reynoldstown at Ascot that essentially fell apart; however, he's proved very consistent in good handicaps otherwise this term, second at the Cheltenham Festival (3m1f, good to soft) most recently; again likely to give his running. |

27th May 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Best known as a very useful 3m handicap hurdler but was very creditable third in Veterans' Final at Warwick (3m, soft) on latest chasing start in January; did not fire in Pertemps Final at Cheltenham Festival in March and has stamina to prove here but will find this considerably easier than the races he normally contests. |

14th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Third in the big 3m handicap hurdles at the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals in both 2022 and 2023; exposed 12yo but there's every indication that he retains all of that ability, so may well be seriously involved once more. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
8yo former hurdler/chaser who turned his attentions to the Flat last summer; enjoyed a solid spell in soft-ground staying handicaps in the autumn and produced a career best in this code when winning over C&D (Dreams Adozen fourth) on his reappearance in April; found the Northumberland Vase too warm when last seen two months ago but he's not discounted. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

8yo who is a former hurdler/chaser; enjoyed a solid spell in soft-ground staying handicaps on the Flat last autumn, and produced a career best in this code when winning by 3l on his reappearance at Southwell (2m, Tapeta) two months ago; a 5lb rise isn't harsh and he could be involved. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to add to his Aintree festival success in 2022 but was only beaten about 7l when fourth of six in stronger race than this at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last month and continues to slip down the weights; might cope better than some of these if the ground softens; must be considered. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Very useful in his prime but yet to add to his Aintree festival success in 2022; on a good mark now (even from 1lb out of the weights) and seemed to ran quite well when second of three over C&D (good) last month but others have more appealing profiles. |

5th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |

17th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Posted career-best performance when winning readily from the front at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in December but weakened rather tamely there later that month, and a switch to patient tactics didn't pay dividends at Ascot in March; now has a point to prove. |

Inconsistent in the last two seasons and well beaten at Newbury in December last time out, but she comfortably made all there (2m4f, good to soft) earlier that month and can make bold bid if back on song after a break. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |

Easily reeled in and was pulled up after blasting off in front at Market Rasen a fortnight ago (well backed), and has now failed to complete all four races this year; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D but needs to get career back on track. |

0-5 in handicaps, runner-up on first attempt (3m, good); ran respectably for two minor honours at about 2m4f this season; tongue tied on last three starts, also has cheekpieces this time and had wind surgery after latest start (November); player if they bring him back to his best. |
