11st 10lb |
Both wins came at Huntingdon when trained by Ben Pauling; made his stable debut in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, when not beaten far, and he wasn't disgraced when hooded and held up out the back in the Swinton at Haydock (favourite) two weeks ago; this will feel like a drop in the ocean in comparison and, although turned over at a short price last October in his only chase, he should make light work of these two rivals on his return to fences. |

11st 6lb |
Lightly raced for his age; caught the eye in no uncertain terms when twelfth of 23 in the County at Cheltenham on first start for current yard, travelling smoothly but short of room in straight and finishing full of running; very best efforts for previous stables came on good ground and he missed the Scottish Champion when the rain came; still unexposed and a fascinating contender in a first-time hood. |

Dual Grade 2 winner last term; finished third at the same level on penultimate start but was behind Kabral Du Mathan and stablemate Jingko Blue in that Cheltenham race; seems set for another bronze medal at best. |

10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Just did enough to pip My Bobby Dazzler in this race last year (good ground; wore cheekpieces) and returned to form with front-running success in first-time visor at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; safely held, though, in Cheltenham race won by Long Draw in April and remains on career-high mark. |

It was the middle leg of a hat-trick when beating Harbour Lake in this 12 months ago and the first-time visor triggered a return to form at Newbury last time (3m, good to soft; made all); has to be considered off 4lb higher. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Completed this season's hat-trick over shorter trips, in lower grades and on softer surfaces; won over a similar trip to this over hurdles but on soft ground that seems to suit him ideally; a good-ground renewal of the Grand Annual proved far too tough last month. |

10st 10lb |
3-4 over fences, the wins coming over 2m1f/2m on heavy/good to soft; clearly knows how to get the job done and he's on an upward curve, but he's 5lb higher than for a narrow win in a small field at Warwick last time and today is a much tougher test of his credentials. |

Bang-in-form 7yo who ended 2025 with convincing wins at Bangor (2m1f, heavy) and Chepstow (2m, good to soft); shooting up the weights but won't mind what the weather does here and commands respect in current mood. |

French Flat winner who landed a 2m2f juvenile hurdle here on heavy ground last winter; went down by more than 40l in his two handicaps this season, however; wore cheekpieces and tongue-tie for the first time on latest start, while blinkers feature today. |

French Flat winner who showed mixed form during last season's juvenile hurdle campaign, and makes his handicap debut after an absence; however, he did manage a win at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) in December 2023 and he's one to watch in the betting (one of three for the yard). |

Ex-Martin Dunne, winning for him at Yarmouth in May (11.5f, good); missed the break and pulled too hard on stable debut at Windsor last time (11.4f, good to firm; first run after a break); should be better for that run |
