6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 5lb |
Two-time chase winner; fine effort when runner-up in a Cartmel handicap chase in June 2025 but only seen three times since and well beaten both starts in 2026, over hurdles at Haydock and in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham; needs to rediscover best. |

Runner-up at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) last June and he's run well at up to 3m in the past; however, he was tailed off at 50-1 over hurdles at Haydock last month when back from a break and looks up against it today. |

Dual-purpose maiden was third at Killarney over 1m3f on heavy before a respectable hurdle run at Cork; the blinkers worn then are replaced by cheekpieces today; has been disappointing overall but should have a big chance if showing his form on this surface. |

C&D winner off 67 in December 2024, now 12lb lower; best run for some time when third to Without Love in January, a short-head off second-placed Doctor Grace; faces a renewal of more recent rivalry with Aingeal Dorcha and Storm Eric. |

C&D winner off 67 in December 2024; best run for some time off much reduced mark last month when third in three-way photo under today's rider, a short-head off second-placed Doctor Grace; one to consider off unchanged mark although draw not ideal. |
