9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, good to soft) last month; however, he was also pulled up at Leicester last February prior to winning this race at 22-1 (good to soft) so he's capable of bouncing back. |

12st 0lb |
Only last April he enjoyed his finest hour when winning the hunters' chase over the Grand National fences (good to soft); followed that with a second over C&D to Music Drive before winning Stratford's Horse & Hound Cup; he's not without hope judged on all that and, although this year's form is underwhelming, so too was his run prior to winning at Aintree. |

Landed two of British hunter chasing's three big prizes (Aintree, 2m5f and Stratford, 3m3f) during a 2024-25 season founded on consistency at a high level rather than progression; match-fitness is a given for his yard's runners and, with stamina to spare, he may not be for catching. |

Took her a long time to win a beginners' chase which she finally managed to do on easy ground at Sligo last month; jumped well then having had a few issues in that department in the past; much stiffer task here on second handicap start. |

Two hurdle wins came in France early in his career; placed on the Flat on sole outing in 2025; struggled over hurdles at Thurles in January. |

Dual French hurdles winner showed some ability in his AW starts but just a moderate run back from a break at Killarney in July when a distant third; back over hurdles now with another break to overcome; interesting that Jack Kennedy rides as he is 1-1 for this trainer. |

Has struggled since rejoining her original trainer after an unsuccessful stint with Iain Jardine; tends to jump to the right; no reassurance from her last three races. |

Only win came on the Flat back in 2019; ran okay on the AW last month but was tailed off in new headgear at Naas (1m, soft) and was behind when falling on his chase debut in February (66-1). |
