13th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Often leads; an 11yo who has still won six of his last nine races (all staying handicap hurdles) but he bled from the nose when pulled up behind Gwennie May Boy at Uttoxeter last time and this race looks too hot. |

16th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Often leads; some feat for an 11yo to have won six of his last eight starts (all staying handicap hurdles) and at his best in the mud, as he showed with an ultra-game defeat of Supremely West at Chepstow three weeks ago; has earned his career-high mark (up 7lb for last time) and there's no knocking him. |

16th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
3-3 in bumpers and the winner of two novices; runner-up in all three handicaps (2m3f-2m7f; good to soft/heavy) and the application of some headgear looks a good move as he appeared to be going nowhere before flashing home for second behind Classic Concorde at Chepstow; if the blinkers help in any way then he should be on the scene. |

2nd 10 |
24th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |

3-3 in bumpers and 2-5 hurdling; no match for the winner on last two starts but did well to rally for second of eight on handicap debut here (heavy) last time and this first foray beyond 2m5f under rules holds possibilities; Luke Scott, who rode for his last bumper win, returns; not dismissed. |

6th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Well suited by Chepstow where he's registered his last four wins, the last two over fences this January (heavy) and April (good to soft); second on his only run at this track; had better form over fences than hurdles last term, which prompts a doubt today. |

Acts on heavy; form dipped at Bangor last time; well suited by Chepstow and gained his sole chase win, albeit somewhat fortuitously, over this C&D (off 2lb lower in January); return to this track is a plus. |

Responded well to first-time blinkers when winning the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, soft; 25-1) last month, in the process gaining his first success for nearly three years; up 6lb but he's still well treated judged on old form; leading contender again if the headgear has the same effect. |

Yet to add to his Grade 1 juvenile win from April 2021; down the weights but something's been missing for over a year now, including in two runs over hurdles instead of fences; latest was last month's Chepstow qualifier, in which he kept hanging; tried cheekpieces twice and now it's blinkers. |

Often leads; last season was a good one in staying hurdles; reappeared over fences and then tailed off back hurdling at Kempton; however, getting back on slower ground was a positive when a 13l fifth to Classic Concorde at Chepstow and he was within 2l of Thursday's Cheltenham winner Monmiral; ran in snatches that day but unlikely to be far away. |

Dual hurdle winner who is 0-7 over fences; again he travelled well for a long way last time at Exeter (3m6f, heavy) but ultimately came up shy behind a 6l winner with only one other completing; others might just see this out stronger. |

Nearly won Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, soft) two years ago in a first-time tongue-tie that has been retained ever since; back over hurdles the last twice after not lasting long over fences and he dropped out tamely behind Classic Concorde at Chepstow in the latest; cheekpieces added. |

Won bumper on heavy; very nearly won Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, soft) in 2022 in first-time tongue-tie, which has been kept since; absent 588 days before this season and, after an arguably satisfactory chase debut on return, he's not shone since; 16-1 and back over hurdles when unseating on latest start, going okay at the time but others are higher up the list. |

21st Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Hasn't cut the mustard in three chase runs this season following a long absence; can make a case on his old hurdle form as he very nearly won the 3m handicap at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival when 3lb higher. |

Cruised to victory in first-time cheekpieces in this race (good to soft) last year off 10lb lower; a slightly disappointing when favourite for Pertemps Final at Cheltenham the following month and followed his Southwell novice win with a poor show on good ground in May; absent since but would have a good shout if returning in the form he showed in this 12 months ago. |

Had a career-low jumps mark when winning at Aintree (3m, soft) in November; that was a doughty performance but he reverted to heavy defeats on both starts since; has been wearing cheekpieces but now tries a visor; 7lb claimer is recruited. |

Well down the weights and took advantage with Aintree win (3m, soft) in November; that was a doughty performance but he reverted to a heavy defeat when back up 5lb at Newbury three weeks later; needs more like the novice form he showed in the 2021-22 season. |

12st 0lb |
Fifth in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, soft; unraced on heavy) last March off 1lb lower, doing well considering his jumping wasn't great and he didn't get the best of runs; close call on chase debut at Newbury (2m6f, soft) on sole run this season showed he's better than ever and he also has Grade 1 entry in Cheltenham novice chase; major claims. |

2-7 over hurdles; absent since slightly disappointing run at Punchestown in April but was very creditable fifth off today's mark in Pertemps Final at Cheltenham Festival (3m, soft) in March and it will be very interesting to see how he fares on today's chasing debut. |

Disappointed as a novice but had back surgery after and back to form to win at Exeter this season; ran well in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham since but his chance would be enhanced if the ground dried out. |
