11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner last season, latterly when beating Latenightpass by 7l in this race (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces); seen only once this term, landing prestigious Velka Pardubicka cross-country chase in Czech Republic (4m2f, good; back in cheekpieces) in October, and has a lofty handicap mark to overcome but still commands respect; blinkers back on today. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Cross-country chasing could hardly have gone better, which augurs well, as does his markedly improved form over 3m5f in the Cheltenham version on last two outings; spending the last third of it off the bridle at the Festival last month (with first-time cheekpieces; last season's blinkers now return) is a niggling worry, and slogging it out was a taxing as well as serious achievement, but he finished well on top and can race off the same mark today; on the shortlist. |

Deeply frustrating horse but improved over banks in the spring, second to Stumptown over 3m; got tired late on at Cheltenham last weekend when losing a shoe; each-way chance. |

Stayed on from off the pace for third over C&D (soft) last December and came second in cross-country chase on Bank course at Punchestown festival (3m, soft) on latest outing in May; 8lb out of weights today and would appeal more on slower ground but still considered each-way. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Had lost his way but very much rejuvenated in his last four races and was closing on the winner, whom he beat the time before, over 2m4f at Haydock last time (good); edging up the weights but firmly in the reckoning. |
100/30 |

2nd 16 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day before good second there (2m3f, soft) in January, and he returned to winning ways at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago when clear with Outlaw Tom; this rejuvenated 10yo still has mileage in his mark and is firmly in calculations. |

1st 9 |
6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Only 2-24 over fences but good to see him follow his Wetherby win on Boxing Day (2m3f, soft) with a similar performance in defeat the following month; does have his share of off days but couldn't rule him out. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won three times from the front (once over C&D) last season and lost out only narrowly in refitted cheekpieces at Plumpton (3m1f, good) a fortnight ago but this veteran is nothing like the force of old, and might find this race to competitive. |
8/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Veteran chaser who landed his third win of the season, over C&D (soft) in February when getting the better of Lumi Plugin; found the Sussex National back here 13 days ago a tad too competitive but cannot be dismissed here back in the right grade. |
7/2 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 104y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Three wins in small fields this season (2m5f-3m5f, good/soft) and another good run when second of three at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) recently; however, there's a suspicion this 12yo will find today's race too competitive. |

4-29 over fences, including Midlands National at Kilbeggan last summer and a Cheltenham cross-country race (3m5f, good to soft) last November, having failed to compete on two earlier attempts at that course; finished third behind Delta Work over C&D in November 2022; struggling a long way from home in the Grand National. |

Best of his runs on heavy was his win in a maiden hurdle in 2020; fell in the 2022 Topham over these fences; won a Cheltenham cross-country race (3m5f, good to soft) in November, having come a cropper on two earlier attempts at that course, but this 8lb higher mark seems to demand another major career best. |
