Tough task over hurdles last time and wasn't pulling up any trees in handicap chases before that; sights are now lowered considerably but all his three wins have come in the mud. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Dual hurdles winner won on handicap chase debut here in November (3m, soft) off 110; poor in two handicaps after, as well as in a novice contest here (2m5f, yielding) last time when 73l behind Nelson County. |

14th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 5f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdles winner got off the mark chasing around here at the fifth attempt back from a break on handicap debut over 3m in November (soft); pulled up after a bad mistake at Cork 19 days later but appeared to have few excuses for his 28l seventh at Navan last time (3m, soft to heavy); capable of getting involved on his best day. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Ex Henry de Bromhead; unseated rider back under rules at Hexham on penultimate start but bounced back to justify favouritism at Ludlow (3m, good; 7l winner) the following week; top rated and tough to beat if in similar form. |
4/5 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; unseated on hunter chase debut at Hexham last Monday but that was after two solid efforts in points and he should have a future in this sphere; respected. |

Fairly useful chase form for Henry de Bromhead as recently as winter 2024-25; he's finished in the first three in two points this year and could be involved returning to rules action. |

11st 6lb |
All his form is on soft or heavy ground, including two handicap wins last April and the second of those was this race by a nose from Surrey Quest (always prominent); 5lb higher today but the chief worry is that he's been so horrendously out of form this season. |

Absent 297 days; 0-5 over hurdles but all his Rules runs have come on ground with soft or heavy in the description; was placed in a point-to-point on good and his two winning half-brothers both scored on a sound surface so the better ground here may spark some improvement. |
