Progressive 7yo who kept on well to score at Catterick (3m1f, soft) six weeks ago and is now 3-5 over fences; has more on his plate here but open to further improvement over the longer trip. |

Lightly raced point runner-up who won at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft) in December on second chase start and followed up at Wincanton (3m1f, heavy); beaten just a nose at Chepstow (2m7f, heavy) last time by a winner who has since defied a 6lb rise, and he has attractive claims up 4lb. |

10st 13lb |
Last won in the North Wales National at Bangor (extended 3m5f, heavy) in February 2024 with first-time cheekpieces; best effort this term was back in November (four races since) but he's down the weights, back chasing and some headgear returns after two hurdles races without; yard going well too. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Thorough stayer who is 1-16 over fences since his last hurdle race in March 2023; the win came over 3m5f in first-time cheekpieces in February 2024 but headgear is removed today; has easily the lowest mark of his career but he's inconsistent and hard to rely on; yard also runs Sparkling Duke. |

Pulled up at Southwell (3m, heavy) in April when last seen but went there on a four-timer (good to soft-heavy, including C&D); no surprise if he rediscovers his progressive ways following a break; watch the market. |

11st 5lb |
None too consistent but he has won five times over fences, latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in February off 3lb lower; beaten a neck back there off this mark last month and his best chance of further success is perhaps back at that venue. |

In good form over fences in the autumn, bar a blip at Perth in October; 0-11 over hurdles but twice finished second in this sphere and often runs well after a break; entitled to respect. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed the benefit of a wind op when dominating from the front here (2m4f, good) last month, his second start for Laura Morgan, and ran big race in defeat under penalty at Southwell (2m4f, good) a few days later; effectively another 5lb higher today but sure to be suited by the move back up in trip; good chance. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
All-the-way Kempton 3m winner in early 2024 and, with stamina to spare at intermediate trips and the benefit of wind surgery, was played equally aggressively in victory at Perth last week (good); 2lb badly in under the penalty but still superbly handicapped on that previous winning form. |

Seemingly back in good nick when second over fences in December but two lacklustre efforts have followed and it's hard to predict whether this first hurdle run since 2023 will rekindle his enthusiasm. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Runner-up at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) in December but never going after an early mistake when pulled up at Ludlow since, taking his overall chase record to 1-18; first-time blinkers replace regular visor. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |

Just 1-17 over fences, and last time's 5l second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft; kept on but never threatened) owed something to the late exit of Anytrixwilldo; mark unmoved but Rian Corcoran claiming 2lb fewer this time. |

With new yard for last two outings and contributed to their recent good form with a C&D win (good to soft) from Another Lord ten days ago, with his usual tongue-tie removed; has 7lb penalty and a 7lb claimer is recruited; probably as good as ever but a bit more may be needed from him. |

Returned from a long layoff with some disappointing efforts this season but took a step back in the right direction over hurdles at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) in January, where he put in a good front-running shift before tiring; now 1lb lower than when winning comfortably by 13l over C&D (good) in April 2024 and enters calculations; cheekpieces (worn for last two races) removed. |
