16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Always comes with risk, given his jumping often lacks fluency and that he apparently needs to be held up in rear, but he's effectively 7lb lower than when keeping on well for second in valuable Ascot handicap (2m1f, good) in November and will be suited by this return to forecast good ground; blinkered for last two runs; cheekpieces tried today. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
None too consistent and was only fifth in this last year; however, very capable of being competitive on his best form and the first-time blinkers appeared to be working until he clouted two out here a month ago in the race won by Mighty Bandit; could run well. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Successful (off 7lb lower) in this contest two years ago but needs to rebound, having performed poorly in latest start; chance partly depends on how well he reacts to added blinkers. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
An 11yo now who isn't as good as he was and has predictably lost some of his old speed; hasn't been running badly in handicaps at about this trip but looks vulnerable. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
On a good mark but an 11yo now and has lost some of his old zip; ran okay at Uttoxeter last time but got outpaced when it mattered and was never threatening; what will help here is the likelihood of a good pace and some rain; respected. |
10/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |

An 11yo now and, in first-time cheekpieces, finished well behind at Ayr in a race he had done well in previously; this wouldn't be so demanding and his penultimate effort was quite encouraging; by no means ruled out. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Better known as a chaser nowadays, but won twice over hurdles over four years ago; no real promise back hurdling six weeks ago but had wind surgery since and his stable is enjoying a cracking spring. |
14/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Better known as a chaser nowadays, but won twice over hurdles over four years ago; not the force of old but is 5lb lower over hurdles compared to his chase mark; vulnerable to anything progressive. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
A smart winning chaser at his peak but not at his best this term, only fifth of six in 2m Windsor handicap chase 27 days ago; his mark is falling but this veteran still looks vulnerable conceding weight all round here. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Running well in the main this season, winning at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in December and good third at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in January last time; this two-time course winner was runner-up in this race two years ago and could again have a part to play. |
4/1 |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Runner-up to progressive winner at Kelso (2m1f, soft) last month then went one better at Wetherby (1m7f, soft; by 3l); he remains 3lb lower than when third in this last year (good to soft) and could be firmly involved. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 199y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Behind a couple of these when seventh in last season's Grand Annual here but this dual chase winner has the benefit of a positive recent run at Kelso on good ground that would have been lively enough for him; should run well. |

13th Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Outsider in this contest for the last two years, flattered when second in 2022 (race fell apart) and early faller in 2023; following Boothill's late fall, he inherited a remote second behind Edwardstone at Newbury last month when bidding for a third Game Spirit success; has the worst chance judged on this season's form. |
100/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
10th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Has failed to threaten in handicaps on his four runs this season but was also below his best last term prior to a major revival when winning this race for the second consecutive year; four visits to Newbury have yielded three C&D wins (including on soft) and no surprise if he's bang there. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 |
27th Jan 2024 Good 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Landed this prize in 2022 and also has two subsequent Grade 2 chase wins on his CV; on the downgrade now but last month's Cheltenham third (2m, soft) was very respectable and today's faster ground will suit. |

11st 2lb |
Grand servant for the yard with eight wins (six over fences) and he showed he was no back number when second of four at Leicester (2m, soft; handles good) in February; took the wrong course last time; has form here and should be thereabouts. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful chaser in his prime but last month's hurdling win at Fontwell (2m5f, good) came off a hugely reduced handicap mark and it's not easy to predict whether his revival will gather momentum. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
