He won two in a row in the summer (3m2f/2m7f, good) but was pulled up at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October and soundly beaten in the Rehearsal at Newcastle (2m7f, good) last time; needs to bounce back. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Back to form a little out of the blue to take advantage of a reduced mark over C&D (good) under Gregor Walkinshaw three weeks ago; remains well treated on old form (won 2024 Edinburgh National off 11lb higher) but not sure to be in the same mood again based on his recent record. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Both wins have been at Musselburgh, latest a 3m7f handicap chase in February 2024 (good to soft); struggled to win since, but is well handicapped. |
20/1 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Losing spell goes back to his success in the Edinburgh National two years ago and current mark reflects a decline in his form; not sure to repeat his autumn C&D effort (neck second). |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
No win over hurdles since July 2021, and was a remote last of eight in this last year; solid record over fences here - four wins at 3m - which does at least offer some hope, even if he has struggled for form (P84) in his last three starts; might need this off a 232-day absence. |
33/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time C&D winner (good-heavy), including this race in 2023; has questions to answer after disappointing on last two appearances but was second on consecutive C&D starts in June/July and can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Very disappointing last time at Uttoxeter but was runner-up over C&D in his two previous starts and he's bidding for a hat-trick in this race; nothing wrong with his mark if back on song. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who was runner-up in this race last year (good to soft); has since gained two C&D wins on good ground, latest in September; has plenty going for him; leading contender. |
100/30 |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Gained all six chase wins at Perth, most recently when scrambling home by a short head (3m, good) last month; may not be seen to quite the same effect over this C&D but is only 2lb higher today and evidently in good nick. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 |
24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Five-time course winner, most recently in Perth Gold Cup over today's trip in June (good ground); didn't really fire in Market Rasen's Summer Plate in July but this race is much less competitive, and the return to this track is an obvious plus. |
9/4 |
