15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Has won two of his six chase starts but was beaten off this mark in a six-runner handicap at Wincanton last time when in the new cheekpieces (3m1f, heavy); unraced beyond that trip but he's one who doesn't do much in a hurry and today's marathon trip could be up his street. |

30th Jan 2025 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Strike-rate of 5-10 under rules and has won two of his last three chases; it wasn't pretty here last time over C&D (good to soft) but he got the job done off just 3lb lower and today's slower surface could benefit him; cheekpieces added. |

Now 3lb lower than for Ffos Las win (3m, heavy) in December 2023 but this season was a major struggle even before he clipped heels and fell early on latest outing; overall score is 2-40, with 32 of those races over hurdles. |

9th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper and dual hurdle winner; ran right up to his best when narrowly foiled in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Worcester (good; won on soft) on his final appearance in May and he's bred to be a chaser; remains in same ownership despite changing yards. |

8th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 7yo who was placed on two of his three starts last season, more recently when third at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; will be favoured by the forecast rain and probably won't be far away. |

Got to within 2l of high-class Love Envoi on her reappearance last season and later won twice at about 3m before signing off with a good third in Listed company; 12-month absence is worrying but she doesn't look on a bad mark. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 2-4 since switched to hunter chases in January and he ran well to finish six of 24 in the Foxhunters' at Aintree (2m5f) last month; on career-high mark back in a handicap but he hasn't been far off his best this year and he has won over 3m1f in the past; respected. |

6th 19 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won on his first hunter chase start at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January and bounced back from a heavy defeat behind Golden Son at Taunton (2m7f, heavy) to win at Leicester (2m, good to soft) last month; however, he needs a clear career best if he's to win this. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Made a bright start to hunter chases when beating Stattler (subsequent winner) at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January and, although well beaten at Taunton (2m7f) when trying to match strides with Golden Son last month, he likely continues in form; leading contender dropped back to 2m for the first time, with fewer questions to answer than most. |

Ran well on both previous visits to Cheltenham, latterly when second of 13 in December (2m4f, good to soft); below that form lately but will be fine over today's trip and Harry Cobden is an interesting booking. |

Dual hurdle winner who is 0-11 over fences but he has the form to feature off this mark if ready to rock on his stable debut after a long absence; the market should be informative. |

Well held when fifth in this race in 2021 and 2022; C&D third when last seen in March but he was way behind the first two and he's now failed to win since New Year's Day 2020, despite his move down the weights. |

Scored twice over fences early last year (once on heavy); 0-10 over hurdles but runner-up in eight of those, including at Warwick (3m2f, soft) on latest start when he blundered at the final flight but looked booked for second anyway; this race looks too tough. |

Closely matched with Everything'sontick who beat him by a neck at Plumpton two runs back (3m1f, soft) when both would have been beaten had the leader stood up at the last; well beaten last time but was badly hampered; visor replaces cheekpieces; not out of it. |

His third win over hurdles when a 3l winner over C&D last May (good to firm; won on soft); lost his way a little afterwards but could be better for a break and James Smith takes away a useful 7lb. |

7th Sep 2023 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |

Launched chasing career with two fairly respectable runs on soft ground this summer (3m2f/2m7f); needs to take a step forward today but is now 2lb lower than when winning a fast-ground hurdle in May and may benefit from the addition of cheekpieces; interesting. |
