13th Apr 2024 Heavy 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
2022 Grand National winner and fourth in it (again on good to soft) last year when he was hard work from out the back and never got near the leaders; hurdling on last three starts, winning a Grade 2 but coming up well short when the cheekpieces (which had served him well hitherto) were restored at Cheltenham one month ago; just 1lb lower than last year but his strength of stamina will presumably be well served by a slog in the mud. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Tailed off at Cheltenham in January but that's not his track and he's had a wind op since; prior to that he ran well when runner-up to Impose Toi at Newbury and Ascot, and his Aintree form figures read 1212 with his last two visits being in this race (good to soft/good); there can be considerable optimism that he'll be a key player back here; tongue-tie added. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Runner-up to Impose Toi on last two starts (3m, soft/good to soft), latest when beaten just over 1l off level weights (same today) in the Grade 1 Long Walk at Ascot; his record at Cheltenham is patchy but he ran well when third in this in 2024; on form he's the stand-out danger to Impose Toi. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Reappeared with a win in the Grade 2 Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury (3m, soft) last November and finished second in the Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree (3m, good) in April, having won that same Grade 1 12 months earlier; leading claims despite conceding weight all round. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 2 |
12st 1lb |
Hasn't been running badly over fences this season but he's clearly not the force of old and he would prefer softer ground for this return to hurdling. |

13th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Veteran; smart in his prime but his two efforts this term fall well short of his peak form; beaten twice in this race (third in 2022, fifth in 2023) and is unlikely to make it third time lucky unless first-time headgear has a significant effect. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |

10yo who's not the force of old; down the weights and this race is a drop in class, but he needs to improve on this season's form nevertheless. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
2-2 here, including when gamely holding Brewin'upastorm in the 2022 edition of this race; also won Grade 2 Rendlesham at Haydock (about 3m, heavy) in February 2024 but hasn't matched that form subsequently and was tailed off in a Windsor handicap (3m, soft) last month. |

Gained the last of his Grade 2 wins almost two years ago; generally below that form since, most recently returned to handicap level; doesn't look set to end the losing spell. |

1st Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 7f 98y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Has never tried this sort of trip with heavy ground but it could help; however, pulled up in this race in 2023 on his only visit to Sandown, went off the boil last January-May and although there's been a partial revival since, he needs better to take this warm race; 5lb claimer enlisted. |

Gradually finding his form this term; now 0-7 for current yard and appears to have the worst chance at the weights in this field but could perform well, having finished 2l third in this race last year. |
