25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Has shown good form over 2m4f/2m5f at Cheltenham this term, finishing second to Kabral Du Mathan in Grade 2 and recording an emphatic success from the front in Festival handicap; failed to get home in 3m Grade 1 at Aintree last time; one of the main contenders, back down in distance. |

11st 10lb |
Runner-up in Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham in January (2m4f, good; no match for Kabral Du Mathan) when his jumping lacked fluency, then convincing winner of the BetMGM Cup (Handicap) at Cheltenham (2m5f, good to soft) last month; he should be fine now back up in trip, having won a 3m Grade 2 novice chase last season, and this unexposed 7yo could have a part to play. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Unseated last February in his third chase but won the previous two and that form makes this hurdles mark look highly tempting; second to a fine prospect over hurdles here on New Year's Day (Lucky Place third) suggested he's on his way back; bold show likely for a top trainer with three solid candidates. |

12st 0lb |
Flat-bred gelding who hasn't convinced on two previous attempts at 3m, the latest a Grade 1 novice at Kempton in December; however, he rallied for third at Cheltenham (nearly 2m5f, soft) in January and kept on well when filling the same position in the Plate at the Festival (extended 2m4f, good to soft); worth another go at this trip and could have a part to play. |

11st 1lb |
Found immediate improvement for the switch to fences when winning on chase debut at Newbury (2m4f, good) in November; useful, persevering efforts in two good 2m4f races since, on that track and when third to Jagwar in a well-contested C&D handicap, and a truly run race kept to this trip will suit; has win possibilities if fitting cheekpieces brisks him up. |

Dual hurdle winner at about 2m4f (good to soft and good) two winters ago but disappointments have come thick and fast since pulling up on his latest two runs at 3m; goes chasing with inevitable question marks. |

Put a disappointing run of form behind him when returning to winning ways over C&D (good) 11 days ago, making all; whether he can reproduce that effort is another matter but he is still well handicapped on his old form. |

Lightly raced 8yo; won his first handicap at Exeter in March when beating a shorter-priced, in-form stable companion by a short head (3m, good); now 4lb higher and could go well, but lacks consistency. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |

Won a weak maiden on this card 12 months ago and hasn't found any improvement this season in handicaps; on the plus side, it was quite a deep race he ran in at Newbury last time. |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |

Gained his Exeter success last spring in a weak maiden; has regressed in two handicaps this season; however, still lightly raced and this is a drop back in class, so may prove resurgent. |
