14th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Won this 12 months ago (good to soft) and continued in fine form last season, adding a competitive handicap at Kempton (3m, soft) in February; there could still be mileage in his mark and he may have needed last month's reappearance run at Wincanton (well-beaten fourth); one to consider. |

He won two in a row in the summer (3m2f/2m7f, good) but was pulled up at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October and soundly beaten in the Rehearsal at Newcastle (2m7f, good) last time; needs to bounce back. |

1st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up off this mark in Festival chase here (3m1f, heavy) last March; creditable second of four in Grade 2 hurdle at Wetherby (3m, good) on reappearance but tired badly and pulled up when wearing first-time cheekpieces in handicap at Haydock (3m, soft) later in November; the cheekpieces are removed but that latest run is still a worry. |

Creditable efforts in defeat in Graded novice chases this winter (3m, good/good to soft) and ran well for long way in 3m6f NH Chase at Cheltenham last month (heavy; beaten 32l); could be in the mix now back down in trip and back in a handicap, provided the removal of cheekpieces isn't an issue. |

Placed at Windsor (2m) last time; still not the best of jumpers but he's useful and finished second off this mark at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival on most recent attempt in a 2m4f contest over fences; possibilities. |

19th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 33y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Fine second in the Plate at last season's Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft); this drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus and he was tailed off over hurdles on his reappearance, but he may have needed that run and the expected competitive gallop will play to his strengths; can go well if back on song. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
C&D winner at a different meeting last October on his reappearance and later ran well in a 3m Grade 2 at Ascot until a costly late mistake; disappointed the final time in a strong handicap at Aintree but went off favourite that day off a 1lb higher mark and evidently failed to give his running; remains an interesting handicapper. |

13th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Lightly raced 3m point winner whose best hurdle run came over 3m, and he tackled that trip for the first time over fences in a Grade 2 novice at Ascot (3m, good to soft) in February, travelling well into contention but making a race-losing mistake at final fence (finished 3l fourth of five); there will be a slight doubt about him if he's back on soft/heavy but he's unexposed over staying trips and could be better than his current mark. |

Better chaser than hurdler although last win came in 2m Down Royal handicap over two years ago (off today's mark); some tough assignments last season in staying contests when well held and drops in trip for seasonal return here. |

Won easily on British debut at Ludlow in February (2m4f, soft; 5lb lower); struggled after but latterly in strong handicaps at the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals (3m2f/3m1f); no surprise at all should Venetia Williams have him back to his best here and this intermediate trip might be to his liking. |

Ex-French 7yo who won easily on his stable debut at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) in February; well beaten the next twice and his stamina isn't guaranteed, but he ran well for a long way in a prominent pitch in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f, soft) last month and this track is less demanding; not written off. |
