9th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 5f 54y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won over fences here (2m4f, good) and at Cheltenham (3m1f, soft) in 2023, but contrasting performances in his last five starts; 2lb below his last winning mark, but not quite sure what to expect. |

Won over fences in September and December 2023 and he was back near his best when second off this mark at Wetherby (3m, soft; unraced on heavy) two months ago; in the mix. |

11st 2lb |
Runner-up three times in a row here last season (3m1f-3m4f, good/soft) and better than ever this term, winning easily at Gowran Park (2m4f, good) in October before 7l second of 27 in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown (3m, good to yielding) in December; races prominently; solid claims. |

10st 6lb |
Two out of five when switched to fences last season, highly fortunate at Plumpton (3m2f, soft) for the second win but he did shape as if he could be an out-and-out stayer; allied to a good first-time-out record, that makes him interesting for today's reappearance. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Rallied to win at Newbury (extended 2m6f, good to soft; 4lb higher today) in November after slow jump at the final fence; nothing of that ilk before or since and while he did plug on for seventh in the 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham last time, this much longer trip does not significantly boost his prospects. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Has an in-and-out profile and his jumping can be an issue; however, he did well to rally for a cosy win after a slow jump at the final fence on his reappearance at Newbury (extended 2m6f, good to soft) in November, and the manner in which he stayed on for a fair sixth at Ascot (3m, good) last month suggests today's extra yardage will be a positive; interesting. |

11st 1lb |
Pulled up on final start last season and the same story on both this term, tried in cheekpieces on latest; 13lb below his career-high mark and reverts to hurdling (from chasing) for the first time since April 2023. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Won at Doncaster (3m, good) in January on first run back with this yard and bounced back from a lesser performance there when 13l fourth of 23 in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f, good to soft) last month in a first-time visor (retained); might not be far away. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Easily won five-runner handicap at Doncaster (3m, good) in January on first run back with this yard, and he's effective here; however, an 8lb rise proved beyond him when only fifth back at Doncaster (3m2f, good) just 12 days ago; reapplied tongue-tie and first-time visor replace cheekpieces. |
