11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
1-6 over fences, the success at Aintree (2m4f) on seasonal debut; seemed a non-stayer in the Welsh National before eventually falling, then ran below form at Cheltenham (2m4f); return to this venue may have a positive effect but he ideally needs assistance from the weather, having gained all wins on soft ground. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Made much of the running when winning in dominant style at Aintree (2m4f, soft) in December; beaten when falling late on in the Welsh National three weeks later, lack of stamina a possible factor; back to a more suitable trip here but now off a career-high mark and others appeal more. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won four on the bounce here last summer (2m6f-3m1f; soft/good) but has looked a little out of sorts this season, for all that he shaped a bit better last time after further wind surgery. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Four-time course winner (2m6f-3m1f, good-soft); lurks on a good mark but looked out of sorts here on both appearances this season and needs recent wind op to have made a difference; tongue-tie refitted. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Four-time course winner (2m6f-3m1f, good-soft), including this race a year ago; needs to rebound from a disappointing run here (3m1f) last month but is back on a workable mark and can't be ruled out. |

9yo whose form has gone the wrong way and she needs to produce more than she's managed the last twice; however, she's dropped to a dangerous mark and has plenty of good form at Ayr; not written off. |

Below form when tried in cheekpieces last month but quickly back on track with keeping-on fifth at Hexham (2m4f, good; behind City Derby) three weeks ago; versatile regarding ground and recent 2lb drop helps; no surprise if he features. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |

Ran only twice in 2025, won at Kelso on the first occasion, poor at Cartmel on the second; suited by good ground; may need the run. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
His fifth at Cheltenham in October (2m4f, good) reads well and he responded well for pressure to lead late on at Kelso when last seen in early April (2m4f, good); that was after an even longer break; respected off 3lb higher, though good ground seems ideal for him. |

1-18 overall but it's still early days over fences and his fifth at Cheltenham in October (2m4f, good) reads well, with that race won by Topham runner-up Lisnamult Lad; respected back on good ground after a break with cheekpieces refitted. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Irish point winner but he's 0-10 over hurdles and has finished tailed off at Perth (2m4f/2m) in last two runs; went close off this mark three runs back but he needs a major revival on this switch to chasing; all runs have been on good or slower. |

Perth regular (form figures 323327); narrowly beaten over 2m4f (soft) here last September but fluffed her lines next time (trainer was unable to offer an explanation); runner-up in this race last year, so no major surprise if she bounces back to form after a 232-day absence. |

Musselburgh winner off 5lb lower in November and fair efforts since; could go well but has his quirks (refused to line up and was withdrawn at Musselburgh last time). |
