1st 4 |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Has shown good form over 2m4f/2m5f at Cheltenham this term, finishing second to Kabral Du Mathan in Grade 2 and recording an emphatic success from the front in Festival handicap; failed to get home in 3m Grade 1 at Aintree last time; one of the main contenders, back down in distance. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Runner-up in Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham in January (2m4f, good; no match for Kabral Du Mathan) when his jumping lacked fluency, then convincing winner of the BetMGM Cup (Handicap) at Cheltenham (2m5f, good to soft) last month; he should be fine now back up in trip, having won a 3m Grade 2 novice chase last season, and this unexposed 7yo could have a part to play. |

1st 10 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Unseated last February in his third chase but won the previous two and that form makes this hurdles mark look highly tempting; second to a fine prospect over hurdles here on New Year's Day (Lucky Place third) suggested he's on his way back; bold show likely for a top trainer with three solid candidates. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Her first three chase starts yielded wins at Sedgefield (2m5f, good to soft) and Ayr (2m4f, soft); only third of four at Ayr (2m4f, soft) since but that may not be the limit of her ability; won here over hurdles and she's not ruled out. |

21st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Progressive over fences; won on Sedgefield debut (2m5f, good to soft) before career-best when scoring over C&D earlier this month (soft); runs off 7lb higher today; contender. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Improved his rating in every one of his eight chases, winning four and that includes the 2m4f Plate at last year's Cheltenham Festival; first venture much beyond 2m5f had to wait until his return to Cheltenham last month, in which he came from out the back to get within half a length of the winner Johnnywho; that showed he stays 3m1f and suggested he's still capable of better, but his jumping contained unnerving moments; wears cheekpieces first time and a half-brother probably stays 4m. |

2nd 4 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Highly progressive switched to fences last season, a campaign that culminated in a convincing win in the Plate here (2m4f, good to soft) in March; he's kept on well over 2m4f here (good to soft/soft) on both runs this season, beaten just a head last time when 10l clear of the third; today's first crack at a staying trip could prompt further improvement; lots to like. |
7/2 |

2nd 2 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Highly progressive 7yo; won at this meeting on soft ground 12 months ago and followed up in the Plate at the Festival; extended his run of excellent C&D efforts with an unlucky third six weeks ago, finishing well after making the odd mistake and being short of room; leading contender again off just 1lb higher. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Launched chasing career with three good runs last season but fell next time and suffered heavy defeats in his three starts since; this should be a good mark but plenty now seems to depend on January's wind surgery. |

10th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Launched chasing career with three good runs last season, most notably when chasing home subsequent dual Grade 1 runner-up Ginny's Destiny at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in January; holds strong claims here if judged on that evidence but was a disappointing favourite when returned to Cheltenham for seasonal debut in October and needs to rebound. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |

It's been a struggle in some competitive handicaps but he ran well enough here at the National meeting (behind Ike Sport) to merit some attention; others still preferred. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Landed a notable handicap at Chepstow (2m3f, good; off just 1lb lower) in the autumn; not in anything like the same form since, always behind at the Cheltenham Festival (2m5f) most recently; other preferred. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Landed a notable prize at Chepstow (near 2m4f, good; 3lb higher today) in October but failed to show his form in his three starts since; Sean Bowen rides him for the first time since Chepstow; he'd still be a surprise winner. |
