1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Strong form when runner-up at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May 2024; lightly raced since and unable to get competitive, most recently in Newmarket handicap (1m1f, good); it's possible he'll still be the main threat to Empirestateofmind, however; wears a first-time visor. |

One-time useful but looking regressive and was tailed off at Windsor (extended 1m3f, soft) on return from an absence; bit to prove now, especially at this trip. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Fair Flat racer who won twice on AW for Archie Watson this spring (1m6f/1m4f); should be fine stamina-wise over hurdles but probably best watched today; refitted cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Just two starts this season and down the field in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last month; however, prior to that he was a creditable third of four in the Grade 2 Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) and he was a progressive handicapper last term (various ground); not discounted. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Won a valuable handicap hurdle at Windsor (2m, soft) last winter and probably would have been placed in two others but for falling at the last; showed more than enough to think he retains all of his ability when third of four to Alexei in the Grade 2 Kingwell at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) on reappearance four weeks ago; entitled to come on for that. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Overall record of 5-12, including three wins at around 2m over hurdles (good to soft/soft); his last win was at Windsor last January but he fell at the last in a major handicap at Newbury the following month and has been on the sidelines since; has something to prove after a year off and this looks tough on the figures. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Negotiated these fences safely in the 2m5f Topham one year ago, albeit fading into 12th; a strong-staying display to win at Cheltenham (near 3m4f, soft; 5lb higher today) in November hints at untapped potential over long distances. |

10st 10lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who readily drew clear to win in lower-grade company here (2m5f, good) in June, his fifth start for Gary Hanmer; also ran well at Cartmel last month and ought to be in the thick of things again. |

Bumper/hurdle/chase winner in Ireland; mixed record under both codes for current yard but he returned to form with a stylish win over fences at Stratford (2m5f, good) last month; back up 7lb in the weights but that was a personal best last time and he still looks feasibly treated. |

Dual bumper winner and looks capable of winning on the Flat, coming from further back than the winner when second over 1m4f here in April; should be sharper for a recent comeback run at Newcastle and enters calculations. |

More talent than many with his rating but he is often the architect of his own demise, as when virtually refusing to race here three weeks ago; prior to that he'd won a C&D handicap for today's rider so a revival wouldn't be a total shock; headgear off today. |
