4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time chase winner and his last success was in this race (off 2lb lower) last year; has been in and out this season but he bounced back with a fair third in Class 2 handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) two weeks ago; has possibilities if he can back that up and he's versatile ground-wise. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Inconsistent this season but has finished a good second on two occasions (November/December) and filled the same position in this race 12 months ago prior to beating Heltenham at Newton Abbot; well capable of posing a threat, provided he's back to form. |

Usually wears cheeekpieces; inconsistent (2P2P) this term but sole attempt in blinkers resulted in a good effort at Ascot (2m3f) on penultimate start; could go well in the reapplied blinds. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
2-14 record over fences includes some big runs, including when he hacked up at Ascot (3m5f, good) in November and took second in the Midlands National at Uttoxeter (4m2f, soft) on latest outing; the Ascot race was going this way round but so was his penultimate start when he kept jumping to his left at Musselburgh (12l second to Transmission); that's a niggling concern but he's handicapped to go well if this is another good day. |

2nd 1 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Only 2-13 over fences and doesn't score too highly for consistency; however, flashes of his form read well, notably his second to Haiti Couleurs in last year's 3m6f National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham and a clearcut win at Ascot this season; beaten 12l by a revitalised winner at right-handed Musselburgh last time (3m7f, good to soft) but he jumped left at a good few of his fences that day; last year Mr Vango became the first top weight to win since Bonanza Boy in 1991; handles all ground; each-way claims. |
14/1 |

2nd 1 |
1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 76y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Only 2-12 over fences but he was second in the 3m6f NH Chase at Cheltenham (good to soft; has won on soft) last March and breezed home 11l in front at Ascot (3m5f, good) in November; disappointing in the Welsh National (rather getting squeezed out at the start didn't help) but he has a big shout if reverting to the Ascot level of performance. |

11th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Useful hurdler; fell on two of his three chasing attempts last season and comes with obvious risk here but proved his wellbeing when placed in competitive handicap hurdle at Sandown (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago and has the raw ability to be very dangerous if all goes to plan. |

31st Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Looked an exciting prospect (on the back of a wind op) when landing 2m4f handicap chases at Lingfield and Plumpton this winter but he beat only one at Plumpton last time; he remains with potential though and shouldn't be written off by any means. |
3/1 |

7th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Ex-French 6yo; unplaced all four hurdling starts for Venetia Williams last season but, following a wind op, is 2-2 since switched back to chasing this term, the latter win over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; should be fine on today's slower ground and has plenty of scope for further progress. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Big chance on his peak 2022-23 efforts win or lose, and laid down a fair marker on return last month (2m3f, good) despite a wide route; no certainty to back that up, but remains on a career-low mark. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won a C&D novice (good) in October 2022 but he struggled in a chase and seven hurdle races last year, trying headgear on last three starts; very well handicapped now and if the 130-day break has perked him up he'd be a huge danger; watch the market. |
