10st 11lb |
Negotiated these fences in dashing style when staying-on third in the 2m5f Topham (soft) last April and returned from wind surgery to win the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (upped to 3m2f, good to soft) in November from Broadway Boy; 7lb higher today; had a run at Newbury five weeks ago and, although there are slightly mixed signals with that display and whether he will be suited by this distance, he looks set for a bold show. |

Grand National hope who landed the big 3m2f handicap here (good to soft; sole outing this term) in November, taking Newbury record to 2121; not crying out for this drop back in trip but ran well in this race last year and warrants respect kept to a course that suits him well. |

10yo who won when upped to an extended 2m7f at Newcastle (good) in November and ran well when 10l second at Kempton (3m, good to soft) next time; however, below par at Doncaster (3m, good) subsequently and pulled up at Cheltenham (3m1f, good to soft) last month; needs to get back on track. |

10st 10lb |
10yo who was below par at Doncaster (3m, good) last time but had previously enjoyed a new lease of life following a step up in trip, winning at Newcastle (2m7f, good) then runner-up at Kempton (3m, good to soft); has a consistent record at Cheltenham and he's an each-way possible if back to form. |

21st Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Back on track with two good runs at Kempton (3m, good) this spring, the latter a win; probably still on a workable mark after 5lb rise but didn't find much at business end at Perth recently; now sports cheekpieces. |

2nd Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Returned from mammoth absence with easy win in selling hurdle for new stable in November and good fourth in Newbury handicap chase (2m4f, good to soft) the following month; not at same level when third in two hunter chases this year, though, and will need to up his game a bit. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won well off 4lb lower at Aintree in May (3m1f, good) and a 4lb higher mark doesn't look too damaging; strongly considered as fitness is unlikely to be an issue given his yard. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
A strong stayer but with a strike-rate of only 2-17 over fences and excuses are wearing thin; on the plus side, they were solid enough efforts on last two starts (3m4f/3m6f) and he nearly won off this mark on his reappearance (3m2f). |

3rd 1 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled on heavy ground two starts ago (first-time cheekpieces) but quickly got back on track with battling second at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) this month; remains on a workable mark and good ground also suits; ought to make his presence felt again. |

2nd 1 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Last win came here back in 2022 and he's not proving easy to catch right nowadays either, tried in cheekpieces when pulled up in 3m2f handicap chase at Wincanton in January; others are preferred. |
