10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
He's run pretty well in defeat at Kempton on his two starts this year (3m, good/good to soft); also ran okay when ninth in this last year (good to soft) but beaten nearly 20l and he's just 3lb lower this time around. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
His best form is over shorter, including last season's 2m Grade 2 victory here off the same mark as today; whether he wants 3m is questionable, for all that he was only 2l off The Doyen Chief here last month. |

Won a good-quality, seven-runner handicap at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in December and is just 2lb higher here; ran well when second of three at Exeter (2m1f, good) last time and he stays this far; each-way possible. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Won two 2m4f handicaps for Ben Pauling last year, the second a two-runner event at Warwick; bit to prove after being pulled up on hunter chase debut at Ludlow in March (2m4f, good), including stamina. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
It was a match he won at Warwick in October (2m4f handicap, good) but that took his strike-rate to 9-30 over fences; remains in the same colours despite leaving Ben Pauling; should give his running on hunter chase debut. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Strike-rate of 8-29 over fences and also runner-up in five of those; not as good as he was but still very capable off this mark; Bangor last time was a backward step, mind. |

Resurgent 11yo who won three 2m4f chases last season and was creditable second in valuable series final for veterans at Haydock (2m4f, good) last month; can't be ignored in current form. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Well below best during five-race campaign last season and absent since pulled up on soft ground in February; had wind surgery the following month, though, and ought to be better suited by the forecast quicker conditions here; too well handicapped to rule out; swaps visor for refitted blinkers. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Hasn't fired in any of his races this season but connections have tweaked the headgear and he has finished first and second in the last two renewals of this race, last year when fitted in new blinkers; daren't discount. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Good servant to connections over the years (eight wins; mixes hurdling and chasing) but has not fired on any of three appearances this season, and this cross-country debut is his first venture beyond about 2m4f; best suited by good/good to soft; cheekpieces the headgear of choice today. |

Now 10lb lower than when winning major handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March 2023 but looked out of sorts last season and arrives here with a lot to prove. |

2nd May 2025 Good 4m 0f 97y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Fairly useful under rules for Nicky Henderson in 2023 and was evidently suited by the thorough stamina test when winning open point at Kingston Blount (4m, soft) in February; slightly disappointing when only third behind Norton Hill and Assassins Lullaby on good ground in March, though. |

Three wins from 2m-2m3f last season (good/soft); below his last winning mark but needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Aintree ten days ago. |

Six-time chase winner, the last twice off today's mark; probably not ideally suited by heavy ground when respectable fifth in series final at Carlisle (2m4f) last month but others appeal more all the same. |
