21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Heavy ground provides an excuse for latest effort; has hinted at retaining ability otherwise since returning from lengthy layoff; very attractively treated on historical data, which includes four Grade 2 wins (bumper/hurdles/fences); one to consider. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Smart hurder/chaser in his prime; absent more than two years after Grade 2 novice chase win in autumn 2023 but returned with two pretty good efforts this season (2m5f/3m) and has possibiites in his first veterans' chase; copes well with soft ground; unraced on heavy. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
5lb out of the handicap; 9yo whose career has contained plenty of surprises and performing so manfully in 3m handicap chases on good ground at Ascot and this track on his last two starts is arguably one of them; that's nowhere near his old hurdles form but he's been sticking on as if his next reinvention could be as a stayer. |

8th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
9yo who is somewhat mercurial but he's run pretty well in defeat the last twice here (2m7f, heavy; hurdles) and Ascot (3m, good; fences); goes well at Sandown and drops back down in grade today; could be involved. |

Useful at up to 2m5f and has Graded form; running respectably when final-flight faller in Cheltenham handicap most recently; some of her relatives have 3m form and she shapes accordingly; interesting upped in distance. |

16th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won here in April 2022 and creditable sixth of nine when 50-1 in the Grade 1 Mares' Hurdle here (2m4f, soft) this March; not disgraced on Ascot reappearance, despite being only third of five as favourite, but might not be well enough handicapped to win this. |

4th Nov 2023 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Two-time Grade 1 hurdle winner who won the Grade 1 novice chase at Kempton (3m, soft) last December; below par on his two starts in the spring but a slow gallop was against him when a close fourth of five back over hurdles in a Grade 2 at Sandown (2m5f, soft) when last seen; reappearance record provides optimism he'll be close to his peak; if so he has strong claims. |

29th Apr 2023 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
High-class staying hurdler who took well to fences towards end of last year, notably when winning Grade 1 Kauto Star at Kempton (3m, soft; first-time cheekpieces) on Boxing Day; disappointed at Cheltenham last month (reportedly lost his jumping confidence) but has very good chance at the weights on today's return to hurdling and is versatile regarding ground. |

15th Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 80y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
High-class staying hurdler whose belated switch to fences kicked up a gear in first-time cheekpieces last time when landing Grade 1 Kauto Star at Kempton on Boxing Day (3m, soft); plenty of his rivals fluffed their lines that day and he needs to back up the performance jumping-wise (has been hesitant on occasions) but his ability cannot be doubted. |

10st 8lb |
Won easily by 21l off today's mark at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) in April but has lost his way in recent weeks and was pulled up when returned to Market Rasen on Saturday; needs a rebound. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |

Won by 21l over C&D in April (good to soft) but more recent efforts have been underwhelming; others have more going for them. |
