16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Triple hurdle winner who made it fourth-time lucky over fences when beating two rivals at Chepstow (2m, soft) in March; fell at the 12th at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month but he's was still travelling well at the time and he should have more to offer as a chaser; respected. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
3-13 over hurdles; only his fourth start as a chaser when too strong for two rivals over 2m at Chepstow a month ago (soft; 3lb lower); this quicker ground won't bother him at all and neither might the longer trip; good claims. |

Second of four on chase debut at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) last July and returned to form when third of six at Kempton (2m2f, good) in October last time; won on heavy ground on the Flat in 2023 but best jumps form has come on good to soft or quicker; in with a chance if conditions suit. |

Won over hurdles at Killarney (20.5f, good) in July when seeing off Jupiter Du Gite by a nose before creditable midfield finish in valuable Galway festival handicap; never a factor on the Flat 15 days ago; handicapper may be in control for now. |

Veteran who is 12-115 under all codes; five-time course winner, four times over jumps; dual C&D winner, latest 12 months ago off 7lb higher; much below best last two vists here but dangerous to completely write off in a winnable race at a venue he loves. |
