6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
11st 8lb |
0-8 over fences and hasn't won since scoring over hurdles at Ayr in April 2024; failed to complete in two of three starts this season and beaten 63l at Leopardstown when he did get around; top yard and mark tumbling but hard to make a case for on form. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 3lb |
Point, bumper and dual hurdles winner has been out of form in final runs of last season and outings in this; pulled up on seasonal debut at Cork and tailed off in a grade 3 handicap at Leopardstown when last seen at 80-1; needs to come back to his best. |

Dual hurdle winner is yet to score in six chase starts and was poor the last three times, so isn't easy to make a case for. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; just as good over fences and holding his form well, beaten off only on run-in when second at Leicester (2m6f; stays 3m1f well) four weeks ago; handles any ground; leading contender. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; off the mark over fences at the seventh attempt at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) when fitted with first-time cheekpieces in January, and matched that level when runner-up at Newbury the following month; can make his presence felt again but he's never won off a mark this high. |
2/1 |

2nd 5 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; it was in a lower grade when getting off the mark over fences at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) but that was fairly comfortable and it was his first time in cheekpieces; off 5lb higher he can make his presence felt. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |

Dual hurdle winner; has been expensive to follow over fences (0-9) and fair to say that others arrive here in better form. |
9/1 |

Respectable third (off 12lb higher) when favourite for this race last year but was in better form at the time; last of six finishers returned to this C&D most recently, taking chase record to 0-8. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Another in this field who took in the Pertemps at Cheltenham, finishing a good fifth of 24 to Supremely West; should be competitive again but nothing in his record suggests he has enough in hand to win a race as hot as this. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Never-dangerous tenth in this race last year; ran creditably on three of his four starts this season, second in the Musselburgh qualifier last time, but he's an exposed 8yo who needs to show something new. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who is 2-2 since returning from lengthy absence and switched to chasing, latest win at Kelso (2m5f, heavy); bred to be as effective over this longer trip; respected with further progress plausible. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Promising novice hurdler in 2023-24 campaign and it was his first run since when winning on chase debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; did it nicely and could take an 8lb rise in his stride if backing up that performance. |

Never landed a blow in Pertemps qualifier at Haydock last time, failing to back up his Windsor effort and taking record since winning on rules debut to 0-9; not the percentage call. |
14/1 |

6th 5 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Placed both hurdle starts since returning from lengthy layoff (pulled up after bad early mistake on chase debut in between), finishing second to reopposing Go To War in a competitive 3m event at Windsor (soft) last time; his previous outing over C&D (also soft) resulted in a very good second in a series final; has to enter calculations. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Hinted at retaining ability in C&D event on return from lengthy layoff but this is a stronger race; lost chance with bad early mistake switched to fences since; gained only win in May 2023. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Contrasting performances since switched to handicap chases, winning narrowly at Sandown then folding tamely at Ascot, both over 3m; presents a dilemma but could have more to offer provided he's back on song and it's too soon to write him off. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who held on narrowly at Sandown (3m, good to soft; handicap chase debut) most recently, adding to his point/hurdle wins and posting a career-best performance; may be capable of further improvement in this sphere and commands respect. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up on three of his first four chase starts (2m7f/2m5f, soft/heavy) before winning at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) last month; it was a small field last time and he's in a hotter race today, but he did it nicely and could have more to offer in the cheekpieces, which he's worn just twice. |
14/1 |

1st 3 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |

Sound efforts on three of his four starts this term, last time finishing runner-up over 2m5f here (heavy; cheekpieces first time); headgear retained and a possible back up in trip. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 3 |

Course hurdles winner who was runner-up on chase debut here (2m7f, soft) in December and bounced back from Ayr flop to go close at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) last time; he has an up-and-down profile but he's a key player if once more on a going day; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

12st 0lb |
Flat-bred gelding who hasn't convinced on two previous attempts at 3m, the latest a Grade 1 novice at Kempton in December; however, he rallied for third at Cheltenham (nearly 2m5f, soft) in January and kept on well when filling the same position in the Plate at the Festival (extended 2m4f, good to soft); worth another go at this trip and could have a part to play. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Found immediate improvement for the switch to fences when winning on chase debut at Newbury (2m4f, good) in November; useful, persevering efforts in two good 2m4f races since, on that track and when third to Jagwar in a well-contested C&D handicap, and a truly run race kept to this trip will suit; has win possibilities if fitting cheekpieces brisks him up. |
