11st 4lb |
Came good over fences with comfortable success at Bangor (2m4f, heavy) in December and will be fine over today's longer trip, but began this year with two disappointing efforts and may find today's ground too lively; had wind op last month. |

Travelled well before being delivered after the final fence by Brian Hughes to win cosily over 3m at Carlisle (heavy); he'll be into unknown territory when beyond 3m1f but shapes as though he stays all day. |

Below par since the summer of 2024, although he has made the frame on several occasions; not entirely disgraced when third at Perth (2m4f, good) in September; likely to be thereabouts again but others appeal more for the win. |

12st 2lb |
Won over 4m here in March 2025 (good to soft); won again at Bangor in October (3m, good); pulled up at Bangor last time (3m5f, soft) but has since has 73 days off; chance. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |

Has won over 4m so did well to win over 3m here (good; has won on soft) in October when only 2lb lower; comfortably held since at Uttoxeter (3m2f) but has the form and attributes to feature in a race of this nature. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won by 9l over C&D (soft) in December, matching his gutsy win in this race last year (heavy) as a career best; one problem is that both of those were off 6lb lower than today; another is that he showed little in the Surrey National last time, but he needs plenty of respect back here. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Showed career-best form when winning by 9l at Exeter (3m6f, soft) last month and is now 6-15 over fences; should be fine on this left-handed track but recent 7lb rise asks quite a lot of him. |
7/1 |

6th 5 |
26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won three in a row once the cheekpieces were added early last year and he was better than ever last season, winning the Devon National (3m6f) on latest start; only 1lb higher today but this is a big drop back in trip and he's raced on only soft or heavy going for the last two years. |

11st 11lb |
Minor honours on all three runs for new stable this July/September, over fences at 3m2f, 2m7f and 2m4f; cheekpieces were enlisted last time; should be seriously involved again. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Two good runs for new stable this summer, the latter when keeping-on second at Worcester (2m7f, good; also has form on soft) 23 days ago; drops back in trip with cheekpieces enlisted; leading contender. |
11/4 |

2nd 6 |
1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
His two wins over fences for Rose Dobbin were in 2022; down the weights and had some respectable runs last winter, before his £6,000 sale in May and another respectable show in fourth of 12 at Uttoxeter (favourite) on stable debut in July when it looked as if 3m2f stretched him; back down in trip and on the shortlist. |

Dual chase and hurdle winner (all 3m good or slower); still throws in an occasional competitive effort but has to shrug off three below-par recent performances. |

Verdict
This looks very open. HORACIO APPLE’S has the physique to deal with his big weight and if back to his Bangor form he should be on the scene. Betterforeveryone returns here off an untouched mark after chasing home a subsequent winner last month and he’s second choice ahead of Everyday Champagne.[Alistair Jones]
