Continues to hurtle down the weights but latest 13l defeat at Perth was another unconvincing run. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Won four of his first five completed starts over fences (2023/24) but just one success since, a Newton Abbot handicap, and he wasn't finishing his races off last year; 185-day break may have helped but this forecast soft ground raises further doubts. |

Defied higher marks twice last term and commenced current campaign with a creditable effort; not in the same form since, hence dropping in weights; needs a revival. |

Yet to win in seven chase attempts and most of his form is on slow ground, yet it was good to soft when third in the Red Rum at Aintree in April (2m) and good when beaten only 2l at Sandown later that month (2m4f); every chance off this mark if he's on the ball after his break. |

Has raced only on softer than good; 2m3f hurdle winner in France in May 2023; minor honours in six of seven British starts, the exception when he bled here on penultimate outing; rallying third of 14 under Tom Broughton at Aintree (2m) latest and may now be worth this second attempt at about 2m4f. |

Missed most of last season but returned from nine-month break with quite encouraging third (albeit well held in the end) at Perth (2m, good to soft) last month; on a good mark and will also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; contender if that recent outing has brought him on. |

1-10 over fences; gave very good account of herself when keeping on for never-dangerous fourth in Grade 2 mares' chase at Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, good to soft) in March but she was put up 7lb for that run and may not be ideally suited by the forecast faster ground here. |

10st 12lb |
8yo who made it 5-16 over fences when bouncing back with a clearcut win at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; up 6lb but she hit a personal best last time and is a big player again if her stamina holds out on this step up 3m. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |

4-15 over fences; gained a win at Chepstow (extended 2m3f, good) in October but hit with a 7lb rise and she's been well held on both outings this year, most recently trailing home last of three at Wincanton (2m, good) three weeks ago; only 2lb lower and now has plenty to prove. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 3 |

4-14 over fences; October's Chepstow win (2m3f, good) triggered this career-high mark, off which she was found wanting by some way at Kempton, admittedly in a useful handicap; this shorter trip is another slight query. |

She's 2-17 over hurdles as opposed to 7-27 over fences and is unraced in this sphere since November 2023; however, won twice over fences this season (3m1f/2m4f, good/good to soft) and will be a major player if transferring that form back to hurdles. |

Front-runner who went down narrowly last time at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft), which was a good run over that far for one who stays 3m; Harry Atkins rides again and should hang around to have some say. |

Runner-up three times in a row in February-April, including in a quite valuable series final at Carlisle (2m4f, good) and when losing out only narrowly to Half Shot at Kelso (2m7f, good); subsequent 22l defeat over C&D came in a stronger race than this; one to consider. |

11st 13lb |
Without a win since scoring over fences in September 2023 and he was 2-7 favourite on that occasion; however, hasn't had a lot of racing since and produced three fair runs during winter off his lower hurdle mark; last run was a backward step but he's no forlorn hope with cheekpieces added. |

Hasn't won since scoring over fences here in September 2023 (2m4f, soft; 2-7 favourite); decent run after a wind op when second to a subsequent winner in a 2m handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time; chance on that form. |

9yo who has returned from a long absence this season and hasn't recaptured his considerable 2023 promise, but he ran well when third off his reduced mark at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) last month; has had wind surgery since and he could be in the mix. |

Good-ground specialist with 11 chase wins on his CV, including 2025 edition of this race; shaped well before weakening into fourth at Bangor (2m1f, good) this month, after a layoff, and can make a bold bid from the front under Sean Bowen. |

Ten-time chase winner, mainly on good ground; pulled up soon after mid-race jumping error last time but won at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) in the spring and was a creditable second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) two starts ago; can make his presence felt. |
