11st 10lb |
Still runs well now and again but this 11yo is not as good as he was and become inconsistent. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Ran well for a long way when fourth at Doncaster (3m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in February and remains well handicapped but this steadily regressive 11yo has become inconsistent, and others appeal more. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Winless since December 2023 and pulled up over C&D in December on sole run this term; however, he may have needed that outing and is on a handy mark on last season's best efforts; has won here three times, including in these reapplied cheekpieces, and is not ruled out; the tongue-tie is a first. |

11st 2lb |
Three wins last year (2m2f-3m1f, heavy-good) and returned to his best with good second over C&D (heavy) last month in reapplied blinkers (retained); 2lb higher than last time and has solid claims. |

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. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
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. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival a fortnight ago when back from a break; this 11yo is back in much calmer waters today and he's a player if rediscovering the good front-running form he was showing on good/good to soft ground in the autumn when these blinkers first went on. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Course winner who scored in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) in October before 11l second at Ascot (3m5f, good); this 11yo returns from a break today and may find this too competitive. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 5lb |
5-46 over fences, including three over C&D; is 1lb lower than when scoring here in September and took a step in the right direction when fifth over C&D on latest (behind Milan Forth); can't be discounted given his affinity for this venue. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 6lb |
A Grade 1-winning juvenile hurdler in his younger days, far from the force of old but still well capable; latest win came in handicap chase over C&D in September; down the field at Leopardstown and in veterans' event at Wexford last twice; dropped 3lb; 3-6 at this track and each-way player. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |

Fine servant won a Grade 1 juvenile hurdle and most recent successes came in 2m4f Kilbeggan handicap chases last year; penultimate Thurles fourth his best recent effort, stamina test probably beyond him in valuable 2m6f Leopardstown handicap latest; more suitable trip/ground here and drops in grade. |
