13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Made it 6-7 in points with recent short-priced wins over 3m and 4m, and she's won hunter chases at Taunton and Cheltenham; appeals as the main danger to Golden Son. |

11st 13lb |
Bang in form when runner-up in this two years ago and later that year finished second in a 3m handicap chase at Ascot for Paul Nicholls; however, signed off for him on a downer and December's point run was none too promising; revival needed in the new cheekpieces. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Promising pointer/hunter chaser last term and ran really well when second on handicap chase debut at Ascot (3m, good) in November; hasn't kicked on and was pulled up at Windsor (3m4f, soft) last time, but she could bounce back with a big run now back on better ground and back down in trip. |

Teenager who has gone over two years since his latest win and has been out of form this season (three runs); revival needed. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won this race in 2024 (soft ground) but never really got going last season and was very disappointing favourite in a point last month, after a layoff; now a teenager and needs to prove he still has what it takes. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Inconsistency has crept into this 14yo's game but confidence should be buoyed by his win at Leicester in February and he loves it around here, having finished second in the last two editions of this race; probably vulnerable for win purposes but has place aspirations for sure; races prominently. |

14yo who is no longer the force of old and has become unreliable; that said, he won this race on heavy ground a year ago and proved he retains significant ability when keeping on gamely for second in refitted cheekpieces at Warwick (3m, good to soft) last month. |

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser when trained by Dan Skelton; won a point last year and it was a useful hunter chase in which he was beaten only 11l at Taunton recently; may need more here but not dismissed. |

31st May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Grand old stager who has run well at several Cheltenham Festivals; not as good as he was and beaten 20l in the big one this March, but he won this 12 months ago and defends on the back of two point wins. |

Festival regular having made the frame in the Ultima, a Kim Muir and three editions of this race (beaten 3l by Premier Magic 12 months ago); warmed up for another crack with his sixth point win 12 days ago; however, now a 14yo, his chance of getting his hands on the treasured trophy has surely passed. |

Placed in a Grand Sefton and a Topham for Alan King so these fences hold no fears; returned from a lengthy break to win a February point by 15l and he's had wind surgery since; this veteran could have a part to play. |

Well below par in his last two runs (hunter chase latest) with and without the cheekpieces that triggered a return to winning ways in a 3m handicap at Doncaster over Christmas (good); not the easiest to predict and ideally wants drier ground, but too talented to rule out. |

11st 12lb |
Undefeated in four small-field 3m open points (good/good to firm), the successes around the sharp left-handers at Higham and Fakenham particularly relevant in today's context; can lead but needn't, and won't want for experience of regulation fences (24 chase starts); player. |

Better over fences than hurdles so encouraging to see him win over the smaller obstacles last month before chasing home a hot Bowen-trained favourite over C&D two weeks ago; should go well despite the 3lb rise. |

Landed maiden hunter chase at Cartmel in May 2023 and a prolific winner in points with 12 wins in that sphere; beat two rivals in a point at Stafford Cross 13 days ago and she should go close. |

Cartmel maiden hunter winner two years ago at this trip, and largely irresistible in points since (has won last six, all under Anna Johnston); small bit to find with Captain Tommy on their March Ludlow clash, but in better heart than that one now and recent Cheltenham third was a tidy run. |
