25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Won this race (good ground) last year in first-time cheekpieces off a 10lb lower mark; first and second in two small fields this season, alongside two heavy defeats in top handicaps; tried blinkers when fading right out of it at the Cheltenham Festival last time and now reverts to cheekpieces; also back on firmer ground but a new career best is needed. |

11st 10lb |
Won the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (extended 3m4f, good) last April in first-time cheekpieces and returned to form when second at Windsor (2m6f, soft) in January; his jumping can sometimes lack fluency but, with first-time blinkers replacing the cheekpieces, he has an each-way chance if minimising the mistakes; fourth of 18 in the NH Chase here (3m6f, good to soft) last March. |

Won the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (3m4f, good) last April and reappeared with Listed Intermediate win at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft); also effective on soft ground; however, soundly beaten in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) last time and has something to find today. |

Quirky customer who doesn't tend to find much when it matters and is placed far more often than he wins; ran well when third at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last month and remains on a workable mark, but is very frustrating. |

Maiden; dropped out of contention on last month's handicap hurdle debut, having made a lot of the running; tongue-strap fitted for chasing debut and always hard to rule out stable's runners here. |

Shaped with quite a bit more promise than eventual 42l defeat might suggest on hurdle debut at Ayr (2m, good) in March but never really got involved when seventh of eight over C&D last month. |

Belated return to hurdling when scoring by a short head over C&D in June but failed to back that up when behind a couple of these at Uttoxeter; others appeal more. |
