19th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Unraced over hurdles in Britain but showed promise in this discipline when trained in France; has had jumping issues over fences on his last three starts and perhaps this return to hurdles will prompt a revival; well treated on last spring's 2m4f chase form and has shown staying potential. |

Has thrived in staying handicaps this season, winning the competitive Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good to soft) in June and finishing second off a lofty mark at Worcester (2m7f, good) in August; this 10yo returns from a 66-day break and has something to find, but the form principals aren't guaranteed to be at their best at this stage of the season; interesting. |

10st 12lb |
Three handicap wins over about this trip as a novice chaser last season, the last of which was on good ground; continued to look pretty solid this term until valuable C&D race last time but a bad mistake at the ninth may have scuppered his chance; could bounce back. |

Acts on soft ground; scored three times as a novice chaser last season; best efforts this term when second over C&D in November and at Ascot (behind Kotmask) in December; each-way possibilities on that form. |

18th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 8y Class 2 |

Second-season chaser whose turn looks near, beaten just under 2l by Kotmask at this venue (2m3f) last time; gets a 3lb pull with that rival and is likely to be suited by this return to 2m5f; could well go one better. |

Campaigned in veterans' events this season, best form when winning at Warwick (3m); never-dangerous sixth over C&D last time and may ideally need to go back up in trip; landed this prize three years ago but appears unlikely to repeat that performance. |

The cheekpieces had been working well in handicaps at about 2m4f before he came up well short in a strong handicap at Cheltenham 19 days ago; didn't stay 3m here when trying it once before but conditions will be quicker this time and that should help. |

The cheekpieces are working well as he's been competitive in his last three races at about this distance; however, he's come up short in weaker races than this the last twice and Harry Skelton could have ridden him. |

No need to go too far back to unearth form on which he's well handicapped but his last two efforts haven't been obviously encouraging, finishing well behind the reopposing Dibble Decker at Huntingdon only 13 days ago. |

2nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |

No need to go too far back to unearth form on which he's well handicapped and there were signs of a revival until he fell four out at Newbury two runs back (2m4f, good; November); may have been thinking about that tumble when below par at Doncaster, albeit in a higher grade (3m was no excuse); dangerous to rule out. |

Found a new level of form in late 2024 with wins at Ascot (2m5f, good) and over C&D (good to soft); disappointing here next time but he was still going well when nearly down three out over C&D in January and the 6lb higher mark than for his latest win may not be beyond him; considered for yard that's won this race three times. |

Started the campaign looking better than ever, winning in great style at Ascot (2m5f, good) and following up in the December Gold Cup over C&D (good to soft); form dipped sharply here (soft) on New Year's Day, going from hot to cold in an instant; certainly a contender provided he rebounds. |

Effective on all ground; some sterling efforts at about 2m4f on both courses here but he's been beaten about 9l in the last two runnings of this and these weights don't suggest he's well enough treated to fare better; first-time blinkers replace regular cheekpieces. |

Has plenty of Cheltenham form, notably wins in this race in 2023 (finished third last year) and the Paddy Power Gold Cup in November; however, he finished behind two of these rivals here last time and is perhaps back in the assessor's grip now. |
