27th Apr 2024 Good 1m 7f 99y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
10yo who has been better than ever this season; soft ground was against him in the Champion Chase and prior to that he beat Jonbon by a neck to win the Grade 1 Clarence House Chase at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft); however, the runner-up was well below his best; others make greater appeal. |

11st 10lb |
Often a front-runner; has won on soft but seems ideally suited by good/good to soft; rallied gamely to beat odds-on Jonbon in the rescheduled Clarence House here in January, making it three wins from his last four starts; however, looks far from sure to confirm placings with that otherwise superior rival who blew his chance with a dodgy round of jumping; in great form this term but needs better still to land a Champion Chase. |

13th Apr 2024 Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has raised his game chasing this season (first win here) and impressed in all departments when winning a 2m Grade 2 from Nickle Back at Kempton over Christmas (good to soft); luckless since, as he suffered some serious early interference at Lingfield and wasn't without hope of making the frame when coming down two out (jumped it well but stumbled) in the Arkle at Cheltenham; Tom Bellamy gets a tune out of him and they have a big shout. |

3rd Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Looked as good as ever when holding on well to win at Sandown (1m7f, good to soft) in November but has lost his way a bit since the turn of the year; stays this trip well enough but arrives here with something to prove. |

15th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
1lb higher than when C&D winner in November, having won well on soft (unraced on heavy) last winter on his only other appearance at Sandown; looked set to finish second when unseating on penultimate start and ran respectably in a warm race on latest; considered. |
10/1 |

27th Jan 2024 Good 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Has pretty good 5-15 strike-rate over fences that includes two C&D wins; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but looked set to finish second before coming to grief at penultimate fence at Wetherby (2m, soft) a fortnight ago and today's faster ground will also suit. |

30th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |

Acts on soft; missed last season and seemed to need his reappearance run here four weeks ago; two-time C&D winner and ran well (clear second off just 1lb lower) in this race two years ago; possibilities. |

2nd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
On a competitive mark on his 2021-22 form; off since and, while he returns with his stable in good form, it's a very hefty absence for this 10yo to try to defy. |

Won four times at favourite course Kelso last year (2m1f, good to soft/soft) and is just 2lb above his last winning mark; however, he's been well beaten over this C&D and at Musselburgh the last twice. |

21st Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Dual chase winner who made a welcome return to form when a front-running second behind In This World at Worcester (2m, good); the winner won comfortably but this track will suit this 9yo's style of running. |
25/1 |

2nd 8 |
26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Two wins over fences (1m7f/2m) early last year but he's not seen much action since and has struggled in both runs this spring; dropped another 4lb but this is competitive and he needs a major turnaround. |
33/1 |

9th 5 |
11th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 12y Class 4 |

Returned from long absence with two wins last season (1m7f/2m) but has not fired on either start this term; will appreciate today's ease in grade but still has quite a bit to prove. |
