2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
All five wins over hurdles have been at 2m; hasn't won since his return to action in October and ran poorly when eighth of nine finishers at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month; handicapper is at last relenting but his best chance of success in the short-term may be back at 2m. |

Record of 5-23 over hurdles and placed a few times as well; a bit up and down this season but ran respectably in the new blinkers at Fakenham last time and now regular cheekpieces return over a longer trip that may suit him better. |

10st 13lb |
Multiple winner but a 10yo now and the handicapper knows the score with him; no match for the winner last time at Fakenham (2m4f, good) where he kept jumping to the right; wouldn't want to repeat that here. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Doing surprisingly well over fences as he's not bred for them; he might just be a shade high in the weights now after his hat-trick bid came up shy in a three-runner race but he must still have some sort of chance on ground he handles. |
3/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Not bred for fences but has collected small-field chase wins on soft ground at Plumpton (2m1f) and Fontwell (2m2f) in recent weeks, and may be even better suited by the forecast good ground on this hat-trick attempt. |
4/5 |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with his sole win over hurdles; ended a losing run when winning over fences at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) last time, off a 4lb lower mark, but needs to build on that against a couple of progressive rivals. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Ended last year in excellent form over fences, with latest fourth coming behind the seriously progressive Thistle Ask; whereas he's 5-18 in that discipline and only 1-13 over hurdles, he's probably a better horse now than when last seen in this discipline; 5lb lower than his chase mark; front runs. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 85y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Front-runner who can be tough to reel in on his day and has left his rivals trailing in completing a hat-trick in small fields at about 2m4f (latest in a match); has gone up a collective 20lb but he loves this good ground and looks sure to make a bold bid. |

19th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Mostly disappointing for Nicky Henderson but she was having only her second run for this yard when making a winning chase debut here last month before finishing second at Hereford (also 2m, good) 15 days ago; switches back to hurdles off 3lb lower; should run well. |

12st 0lb |
Mostly disappointing in these colours for Nicky Henderson but only her second run for this yard when making a winning start over fences at Fakenham (2m, good), where 2l to the good and going away at the line; was due a 4lb drop so only 3lb higher here even with the penalty, and that's without taking into account Alex Chadwick's claim (replacing Sam Twiston-Davies). |
