Six-time chase winner; long in the tooth now but was placed in Newbury veterans' chase (3m2f, soft) on latest outing last March and has a good record when fresh; shortlised on hunter chase debut. |

11st 11lb |
Agonisingly missed out in a leg of this series when tying up close home at Chepstow in October (collared by Good Boy Bobby); there are some course concerns as he wasn't so good when behind Thomas Darby and Mill Green here last time but he's still respected off the same mark as at Chepstow and new partner Dylan Johnston is good value for his 7lb; handles all ground. |

11st 12lb |
Made his name over hurdles but he's 2-6 over fences and 3m on soft ground is right up his alley; it was quite comfortable when he accounted for Mill Green and Aye Right over C&D in November and a 4lb rise is not the end of the world; he's not your typical veteran chaser being so lightly raced in this discipline. |

13th Nov 2023 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Has a tendency to race too freely and finished tired when reappearing at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) last month, but is now 2lb lower than when placed in major Ascot handicap (3m, good) last autumn; forecast good ground will suit. |

13th Oct 2023 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Career has been very stop-start but always possessed a huge level of ability and on last season's reappearance he finished second in a strong 3m handicap chase at Ascot during this month; returns off the same mark following further wind surgery; has won on soft but kept mostly to goodish ground the last three years. |
5/1 |

1st May 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Only just in front of Twenty Twenty when 5l second in this race last year (good), but form of same finishing position in a deep Ascot handicap next time reads well and he retains low mileage for his age; chance. |

Staged something of a revival in first-time cheekpieces at Sandown (3m veterans' chase) two months ago; possibilities if building on that second-place finish; defied a 13lb higher mark in top 3m2f handicap at Newbury in 2019. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Not quite a year since he won off a 20lb higher mark at Perth (3m, good); insufficient encouragement on last two stasrts, even allowing for the inadequacy of the trip, and hopes rest with the return of the cheekpieces worn for last four wins. |

13th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Three wins last year came at a cost mark-wise and he was beaten 16l when second to Celebre D'Allen at Aintree in late October; others should be better handicapped. |

29th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 2 |

Form dipped sharply in similar event at Chepstow 16 days ago when bidding for a hat-trick; even if bouncing back, current mark leaves him needing a career-best performance. |

13th Oct 2023 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Sometimes in need of mid-race encouragement but often strong in the finish and he arrives here on a hat-trick after wins at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) and Cartmel (3m1f, good to soft); unlike a few of these there are no wellbeing issues, but rain might be an issue as 0-13 on soft or heavy. |

Well held in the latest final of this series but ties in with Boldmere on Newbury running next time out; early faller in similar event at Chepstow most recently; competitively handicapped granted a clear round. |

Not the most consistent but he was returning from a similar break when winning over C&D at this meeting two years ago off 3lb higher; confined to only seven starts in the meantime and some of them were highly respectable. |
