13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Cruelly caught in the final strides in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle here (3m, heavy) in March 2024; 2-2 in novice chases last season (including Grade 1) and, after missing last year's Festival due to injury, he made it 2-2 this term and 4-4 over fences when winning the King George (3m, good) in December, narrowly in a breathtaking four-way finish (Gaelic Warrior third, Jango Baie fourth); the way he rallied to edge back in front at Kempton provides optimism regarding today's stiffer test and he's a key player. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
0-16 under rules but has consistent record over hurdles; lost out only by a neck when clear second here (2m, good) last month and will be suited by today's move back up in trip; leading contender. |

The winner of two points; 15 defeats under rules split evenly between bumpers, hurdles and chases; has threatened in all those disciplines and should nick a race sooner or later, for all that he's twice been below par since a good run over fences here in January. |

Form in points comprised two non-completions in Ireland then a comfortable win in Britain; bred to be as effective over hurdles; heed the market signals on rules debut. |

11st 4lb |
Won two in a row last June for the O'Neill yard and put up a bold show when close second of six at Doncaster (3m, good to soft; Bugise Seagull third) five weeks ago on second run for this yard; needs extra to win this, though. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has often run well in handicap hurdles, including over C&D on heavy, but below best this winter despite falling in the weights and he didn't put up much of a show last time out; first-time cheekpieces on. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Scored over fences at Market Rasen (3m) in November but she's failed to go on and underwent breathing surgery (also fitted with cheekpieces) before coming in a well-held third of five at Exeter (3m) 20 days ago; reverts to hurdles with plenty to prove. |

3rd 3 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Well beaten on heavy ground last month (jumped poorly) but has generally done well over fences this season, most notably when winning at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in November; likely contender if last month's wind op and/or first-time cheekpieces aid quick return to form. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 3m 3f 208y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three 3m wins (one here) this year; ran as though something was amiss two starts ago but bounced back with career-best performance at Uttoxeter (good) last month; could be hard to beat if this new trip suits. |

11st 10lb |
Goes on any ground; won narrowly in a lower grade over C&D in June (3lb lower) before running no race at Market Rasen; clearly a contender if back on song. |

Finished last of seven in bumper here four weeks ago, albeit seemed in need of the outing/experience; bred to be suited by this longer trip; may do better. |
