11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Well-backed 5-1 shot in this last year only to fall early (a stablemate won); 8lb higher this time; won over an extended 2m7f over hurdles and this second-season chaser reappeared with a win in a graduation chase at Haydock (extended 2m5f, soft) in November; fair efforts when fourth in handicaps the next twice (3m/3m1f, good to soft/soft) but needs something extra today. |

18th Jan 2025 Heavy 3m 1f 125y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Promising novice chaser last season and his reappearance win in a graduation chase here (2m5f, soft) represents strong form; won over an extended 2m7f over hurdles; merely fourth off this mark when back in a handicap at Ascot (3m, good to soft) last month but it was still a reasonable performance on ground that may not have been ideal; respected now back on testing surface. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner; won two in a row last autumn (2m3f/2m4f, good to soft) and back to form when second under Jay Tidball at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) last month; effective on soft earlier in career; can make another bold bid. |

12st 2lb |
Two wins from the front, including a defeat of Heltenham over C&D, and two non-completions comprise a mixed current campaign; hindered by being unable to dominate in the Greatwood Gold Cup last time; chance may depend on whether he gets an easy lead. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Front-running chaser who made a bad mistake and unseated rider mid-race when favourite for similar event at Cheltenham last time; successful in both completed starts this term, looking better than ever, including a C&D performance (good to soft; beat Heltenham by 10l) that suggests he's an ideal candidate for this prize; respected. |

Won on rules/hurdle debut here (2m4f, soft) in March and, although beaten under a penalty the next twice (2m4f, soft), those were still respectable runs; this very lightly raced point winner (3m, good to yielding) is open to improvement now over fences on his handicap debut; firmly in calculations. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Useful in his prime for Henry Daly but left that yard on a low note; soundly beaten in chases on his first two starts for this stable but took a step back in the right direction returned to hurdles in first-time blinkers when rallying third of eight over the extended 2m4f at Plumpton (good to soft) 23 days ago; needs to prove he can build on that with the blinkers left off in favour of refitted cheekpieces. |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Useful in his prime but left Henry Daly after a poor run over fences in February 2025 and was soundly beaten in two chases for this stable towards end of last year; needs combination of new headgear and return to hurdling to rekindle his enthusiasm. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 6f 10y Class 4 |

Ex-Henry Daly; quite a useful novice hurdler but didn't progress; sound run on chase debut in October 2023 but rather disappointing since; bit to prove after a break on stable debut. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Only 1-10 as a chaser but he's a consistent gelding who ran another solid race to finish third in the Eider, albeit about 20l behind the easy winner Knockanore; likely to give his running once more but looks vulnerable off just 1lb lower. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |

Acts on soft, below form sole start on heavy; won over these fences in November 2023; no joy since but career-best form this season and he stuck to his task very well with the first-time cheekpieces over the extended 3m1f at Wincanton on latest start; going beyond that now looks worth a go. |

Off since recording a good second in 2m4f Ayr handicap chase in March but he has run well off a break so can't be discounted; visor goes back on too. |

Came good over fences at fourth attempt, with hard-fought course win (2m7f, good to soft) on last month's seasonal debut; drew clear of the others with the runner-up that day and a 5lb rise ought to be manageable. |

Hasn't won for a couple of years and that was over fences, but she shaped encouragingly reverting to hurdles when third at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft) in February, albeit beaten nearly 19l, and has fallen back over fences since; however, she's on a handy mark and is hard to dismiss. |

2nd Jan 2024 Heavy 3m 0f 20y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Irish point winner in 2019; lightly raced since and although capable of useful staying hurdle form in his home country he ended his latest campaign on a low; having first run for two years but not impossible he'll go well for new yard; check the market. |
14/1 |
Verdict
Only two runners but an interesting race nevertheless, with both contenders having impressed last time out (for which they have each gone up 9lb). Narrow preference is for TWINJETS, who is taken to make it 2-2 for Paul Nicholls, but The Same could also still be ahead of the handicapper.[Ben Hutton]
