15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Long in the tooth and no longer the force of old but bounced back from two poor chase runs with respectable effort over hurdles at Haydock (1m7f, good) last month and is now 5lb lower than when going close in this race a year ago; could have a say. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Very capable over fences but pulled up in that discipline on his last two starts following a break of 217 days; he did go close over hurdles at Aintree three runs ago so there's a big effort in him if he can get his act together. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Two chase wins towards the end of last year (2m3f, good to soft) and did well to finish third of five at Sandown (2m4f, soft) last month having made mistakes; pulled up over 3m4f last January on sole previous run beyond 2m5f but he's worth a go at this trip; could go well if finding fluency. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Returned to win handicap chases at Fontwell and Chepstow (both 2m3f, good to soft) in November/December; fared about as well as could be expected from 10lb out of the weights when fourth of 12 in a valuable Premier Handicap at Cheltenham (just short of 2m5f, good) on New Year's Day; respected with his sights lowered. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Yet to score over fences and he has failed to progress since a promising second at Ffos Las (2m) in October; didn't stay 3m4f when pulled up in Windsor handicap chase 25 days ago but more is still needed on this drop back in trip. |

11st 10lb |
Smart chaser in his prime; on the downgrade now and has rather mixed record over hurdles this season but lurks on a very tempting mark and ought to handle today's ground well; will be very dangerous if perked up by first-time blinkers. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |

Two good-ground wins during the winter but nothing positive to take from his last two races and the weather forecast doesn't bode well. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Returned from break with good-ground C&D win in October and followed up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) a few weeks later; struggled on heavy ground at Fontwell in December but has been freshened up again since and Sean Bowen keeps the ride; must be considered. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Badly out of form over fences and on the Flat for the Flint stable this year, and was well beaten in 2m4f Warwick chase for new trainer on Tuesday; needs combination of return to hurdling and refitted cheekpieces to rekindle his enthusiasm. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two-time chase winner but last success in this sphere was in 2022 and he's deteriorated considerably since; has switched yards since his last run and is well treated if new trainer can get a tune out of him. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Two-time chase winner who won off this mark over hurdles here last July; however, he's been well beaten over fences and on the Flat on his four outings this year and needs a major turnaround. |

Dual chase winner on good ground in summer 2022 (once over C&D); struggled to cope with heavy ground when returning from long absence over hurdles in March then fell heavily in recent Ffos Las chase won by Boston Joe; current ability hard to gauge. |
