9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
11yo who looked as good as ever when runner-up in a captivating battle with Jonbon in the Ascot Chase (2m5f, good to soft) in February, when bidding to win that Grade 1 for the third consecutive year; won the Grade 1 Melling Chase here (2m4f, soft) in 2023; seemed fine at 3m when 1l second in this season's Charlie Hall (good) and his trainer has won this race six times; no surprise to see a bold bid from this front-runner, who is not ruled out. |

2nd 6 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 13y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Smart front-runner whose record of 5-9 over fences at Ascot features emphatic wins in this race for the last two years (good/good to soft; has scored on soft); had excuses (soon taken on for lead, race possibly came too soon after reappearance) over C&D in November when last seen, failing to land the 1965 Chase for a third time; perhaps best caught fresh nowadays and, assuming he's able to dominate, commands respect in another hat-trick attempt. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Multiple Grade 2 chase winner who has also won three Grade 1s (good-soft), the latest being the 2m5f Ascot Chase in February; this 10yo is unproven beyond that trip and unraced over 3m, but there's every chance he'll stay and he goes well fresh; key player under 6lb penalty if seeing it out. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 2 |
12st 1lb |
Hasn't been running badly over fences this season but he's clearly not the force of old and he would prefer softer ground for this return to hurdling. |

Three-time course winner (2m4f-3m); not quite at best this season but handicapped according, and went down fighting when a clear second here (2m4f, good) last month; likely contender. |
