30th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
12st 9lb |
As good as ever when winning the same Cheltenham contest (over essentially today's trip) for the second straight year four weeks ago; now 7lb higher than for last season's 1l defeat in this race, but without the effects of a slog on soft ground to have to shrug off. |

3rd May 2024 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 5 |

Struggled in Aintree Foxhunters' three weeks ago and is not one to rely upon heavily but his win at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) for Sam Loxton in February makes him of strong interest on this stable debut. |

Nothing like as good he was when at his peak for Venetia Williams and had luck on his side when beating last year's winner of this race at Wincanton in February (2m4f, soft); now has to bounce back from a shock defeat at Ludlow at the hands of Captain Tommy. |

All out to land the odds in a three-runner Kingston Blount grassroots conditions event last month (3m, soft), breaking a near six-year losing run; limitations have been exposed in hunter chases either side of that, though has placed over this C&D once before. |

Regressive 11yo who was well beaten when fourth in pair of 2m4f Ludlow hunter chases this spring; needs first-time visor to make a massive difference here. |
