19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Disappointing favourite back at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f); otherwise a useful sort and had returned to form with close second at Windsor the time before; not written off, albeit has stamina to prove back up in distance. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Best on good/good to soft; has notable C&D form, namely a respectable seventh (best of the runners who raced prominently) in this contest last year and emphatic success next time; unlucky second at Windsor on New Year's Day when last seen; back on career-high mark but looks solid. |

Drew 6l clear of Whatsupwithyou on New course here (2m4f, good) at end of last season and is now 4-8 over hurdles; subsequent 8lb rise asks quite a lot of him but further progress is possible. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who made a quite promising chase debut when fourth at Newbury (2m7f, soft) in January; ran as though something was amiss when warm favourite the following month and not seen since but still has scope to progress from that Newbury run if all is well here. |

26th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Bumper and novice hurdle winner with low mileage; back from a break and wind surgery when beaten under 8l on his switch to fences at Newbury (2m7f, soft); made the odd mistake there but entitled to be all the wiser this time; considered. |

Came good with two good-ground hurdle wins this spring (2m3f/2m); slightly disappointing when only third of six at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last week but may yet have a bit more to offer. |

Confidence never higher following wins in two tactical affairs of late, beating Granny B about 7l over C&D latest (good); 8lb higher in a better race, but plenty in his favour again otherwise. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 10y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Solid record at Sandown was enhanced when he scored in good style over C&D (good) seven weeks ago, leading three out to get off the mark as a chaser at the fifth attempt; 5lb rise may underestimate that and he could also be open to further improvement; big shout. |

Dual hurdle winner at about 2m4f (good to soft and good) two winters ago but disappointments have come thick and fast since pulling up on his latest two runs at 3m; goes chasing with inevitable question marks. |

Low-mileage 5yo; soundly beaten on chasing debut in May but shaped with more promise when keeping on steadily from the rear for fourth at Fakenham (2m, good) last month, having been hampered by a faller and made two notable jumping errors; moves up in trip today; may have more to offer. |

16,000euros yearling out of a 14-race maiden under both codes; stable 0-18 in these races in recent seasons, but he was due to make his debut on a big card at Kempton card last month so must have shown something at home. |
