11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Fine over these fences in November; laboured from before three out when a well-beaten fifth to Haiti Couleurs in Irish National last April; that was in the mud, though, and his top efforts have been on good to soft; they include his neck second in the 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham last March and, equipped with first-time cheekpieces after wind surgery, a 3m1f win from Jagwar at this year's Festival; able to race here off the same mark as last time (due to go up 6lb) and he wasn't stopping in either of those big races at Cheltenham; seriously considered. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Neck second in the Kim Muir here (3m2f, good to soft) 12 months ago; promise in defeat on his first two runs this season; not quite at the top of his game at Haydock last time but wind op since and cheekpieces are added; remains one to be interested in, especially given his Festival form. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Beaten just a neck in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, good to soft) last March and finished strongly for close third in the Silver Cup at Ascot (3m, good to soft) last month; every chance he'll be bang there. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Inconsistent chaser who's saved his best for Cheltenham in 2025 and 2026, including a win (his only handicap success) in January 2025 and third at the Festival this March; both were over an extended 2m4f and he's shown his form only once from seven attempts under rules over 3m+; not the percentage call. |
16/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
9lb higher when beaten 3.5l by Riskintheground 12 months ago; 0-10 in the meantime but the new visor worked well when a never-nearer third in the Plate at Cheltenham last month and clear claims if he can back that up. |
9/1 |

3rd 22 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Pulled up in the 2m4f novice handicap here last March but that was out of character as he had won over that C&D the time before and generally has a good track record; not much of a force this season, though, and he doesn't look in enough form to take advantage of a weights drop; often wears headgear, first-time visor today. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |

Well beaten/pulled up over fences on his last two starts but has each-way claims on the pick of his form over hurdles this season and Gregor Walkingshaw gets a tune out of him. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Wore cheekpieces on last four starts, to be placed twice over hurdles but not faring so well in two chases, including behind Val Dancer at Lingfield (upped markedly to 3m5f) last time; given wind surgery since and now has tongue tied first time; he's now 9lb below last winter's peak mark (even from out of the handicap) so has his chance if back on song. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Goes well here and won over the extended 2m6f (good to soft) just after Christmas; ridden less prominently when only sixth of ten at Haydock next time; may bounce back, although he remains on a career-high mark. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 3 |

His form can be in and out but he's been progressive among the blips and was back on song when winning at Kelso (extended 2m6f, good to soft) 19 days ago; this trip may be within range and has a chance for in-form yard. |

Solid second (form has substance) in Irish point; soundly beaten over hurdles for new stable but looks a likely improver now handicapping and switched to chasing; interesting off a mark of just 90. |

Still a maiden and he underwent wind surgery before pulled up in 3m2f Sedgefield handicap chase in January; not one to rely on. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-24 under all codes; gave fairly good account of himself when fourth over C&D (soft; beaten about 16l) last month but is effectively 4lb higher from further out of the weights today and needs subsequent wind operation to have made a difference. |

Triple scorer over just shy of this trip during 2024 (good and good to soft), and now back below his last winning mark; needs forgiving a pair of weakening efforts around Sedgefield most recently, however. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |

Three chase wins in 2024 (good/good to soft; including here) and respectable efforts this season on first two starts for new yard; well beaten when reverting to hurdles here since but could be in the mix back chasing. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

Won three chases (one here) for Rebecca Menzies in 2024 and started off for Lizzie Quinlan with two very respectable chase runs this season; quite tricky to weigh up on first hurdling start for over two years and may not be favoured by rain but has a lower mark for this discipline. |

Fair third on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, heavy) in March but pulled up next time (3m, yielding) and he was tailed off at 150-1 on recent rules debut at Carlisle (2m4f, soft); hard to fancy. |
