1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Easy winner of this race in 2024 (soft) and the Stratford champion event (good) straight after, and nearest miss since when held by a neck at Brocklesby in February; there's always the chance he'll thrown in a mistake, but case is still good on this easiest-looking hunter chase assignment for some time. |

Winner at this track in 2024 and he then beat Lift Me Up in Stratford's Horse & Hound Cup; however, he never counted in this 12 months ago and returns a year older and in no better form. |

Won hunter chases in summer of 2024, including on soft ground at Cheltenham (3m1f); lightly raced in the meantime but didn't run too badly after an absence at Larkhill. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Track and going types come alike to this former Kelso and Exeter hunter chase winner (soft and good to soft); 11l behind a rival later drubbed by Stumps Or Slips on his most recent hunter chase start, but confidence levels topped up with an easy point win at Eyton-on-Severn (good to firm) since. |

2nd 3 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Won twice under rules (once over C&D) in 2024; slightly disappointing when favourite for his latest point but the form of his first two runs this season reads quite well in this context; no surprise if he features. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
No threat to easy winner when second at Taunton (2m7f, heavy) last month but that was still a pretty good effort and he'll probably be better suited by the less testing ground here; a possible. |

2nd 2 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won hunter chase at Southwell (3m, soft) in March 2024 and runner-up in this race last February (good to soft); this 12yo was no match for Golden Son when fourth at Warwick (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; could improve for that reappearance outing but others still make greater appeal. |

Quite useful when with Olly Murphy, for whom he won a bumper and two hurdles; beat a respected opponent (in a match) to bring up a belated hat-trick in points 41 days ago and can see him going well. |

30th May 2025 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Became first horse since Brunico (1992-3) to win successive renewals of the prestigious Lady Dudley Cup at Chaddesley Corbett latest (3m2f, good; Red Delta over 6l third); beaten favourite in all three hunter chases, mistakes seeming more the issue than the soft ground each time. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
7yo with a record of 5-8 in points; turned over as favourite in his two runs in hunter chases but he was only beaten 2l in a good race at Warwick (3m, good to soft) last month, when a mistake at the third-last fence didn't help; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he still has potential. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Quite closely matched with Java Point on their Ludlow form in January (3m, good to soft) and this 11yo has held his form in points; he still looks vulnerable from a win perspective. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |

First and second in Sandown's military races last term (soft, good to soft) before converting an easy task in his members race at Didmarton; all rules and point wins have been gained around more testing tracks than Ludlow, and it's five years since his one winning seasonal reappearance. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |

Inconsistent but ran well in the military races over C&D early last year and he beat Farceur Du Large by just over 1l in the Grand Military Gold Cup over C&D (soft) three weeks ago; now 5lb worse off with the runner-up but can give another good account under regular rider Captain Douglas White. |
