24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Good ground is the key to him; his form had nosedived but he was running much better when hampered late on at the Cheltenham Festival and then came good at Haydock (2m4f, good), prevailing only narrowly but under a confident ride in a strong race (he also won it the season before when staged at Cheltenham); a 4lb rise seems very generous. |

1st 4 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Won this race 12 months ago at Cheltenham when 1lb higher so he's dangerously handicapped for his defence; his form had nosedived after winning in a small field at Newton Abbot in October but the signs were more encouraging last time in the 2m4f Plate at the Festival as he was staying on when hampered by a faller at the last fence; has to be of interest, especially given the yard's form. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
He's run some of his better races at Cheltenham, including a New course win (about 2m4f, good; off this mark) from O'Moore Park last April; not much going for him on his form since beating three rivals at Newton Abbot in October but some sort of revival isn't beyond the imagination. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
C&D record of 31133 includes a soft-ground win off 9lb higher almost two years ago and last month's perfectly serviceable staying-on 10l third in 0-145 company; faces an easier-looking task this afternoon. |
13/8 |

3rd 6 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner; only win last season was a walkover in a chase; went back hurdling after that and took time to find his form, but sound placed efforts on last two starts, latest when third at Haydock in March (3m, good; first run after a wind op) when Super Survivor was well behind in eighth; chance. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 8 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
6-26 over hurdles, including a win with first-time cheekpieces in this race in 2024 (soft) and he is 1lb lower today; ridden by 7lb claimer last four outings, with a big return to some form on latest (second at Market Rasen) and that has been followed by his second wind operation; cheekpieces (absent on last four starts) return; too well handicapped to be ignored. |
