13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Relinquished an unbeaten record over regulation fences when fifth in this race last year, though he did well to be only 13l off Wonderwall given that he was in the firing line throughout; it's best not to read too much into a recent odds-on defeat behind past Festival hero Unexpected Party at Haydock (2m6f) as that was probably needed after 11 months off; has no ground preferences; can run well. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 54y Class 3 |
12st 4lb |
Useful hurdler/chaser who launched hunter chase career with two wins in this month last year (2m5f/2m7f) before a creditable fifth at the Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, good to soft); returns from 11-month absence but still commands respect. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Unbeaten over regulation fences, having won two handicaps at about 3m in 2023 and come back from a long absence to win hunter chases at Ffos Las (2m5f, heavy) and Taunton (2m7f, good to soft); Haven't Time gave him something to think about last time and this demands more of him, probably a lot more; the cheekpieces he wore for those handicap wins are back on; Paul Nicholls has won this four times. |

1st May 2026 Good 4m 0f 218y Class 4 |
12st 4lb |
Beaten under 1l in this race last year (Myth Buster pulled up); won't mind the move from Cheltenham given his strong body of work around sharp tracks (including 2-2 in hurdles races here, albeit losing one for interference), and nice break since hard-fought Newbury win; ground fine. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Has a solid record in hunter chases and he chased home last week's Cheltenham hero Barton Snow (did win by 12l) before making light work of Java Point at Southwell (3m, soft; cheekpieces returned); in the mix. |
9/2 |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Consistent sort whose record in hunter chases (3m-4m) reads 1232; beaten by main market rival at Ludlow returned to this sphere last time (treated for post-race ataxia); solid and leading claims. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Easily dealt with by A Different Kind at Uttoxeter latest (2m4f, heavy), having ensured a solid test over a trip at the bottom end of his range; could do with jumping a bit better if he's to make the 11lb swing count, though the new headgear combination may help in that regard. |

15th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Won three times over hurdles for Jessica Harrington including the 2020 Pertemps Qualifier at Warwick (3m, soft); not so good in three runs over fences, the latest on second outing for this yard at Leicester in December (2m4f, good); has since had wind surgery and now tried in a tongue tie. |
