10st 12lb |
He hasn't always been pretty over his fences but the cheekpieces might be helping in that respect and he's stayed on strongly at Haydock on his last two starts, over 3m1f and 3m4f; although behind some of these last time, he was digging in at the finish and this extreme stamina test might be up his street; very at home on soft ground. |

He's had jumping issues but was better in that department in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in the Tommy Whittle here (extended 3m1f, soft) in December, and the way he kept on for fifth of 12 behind Grand Geste (beaten about 14l) hints this step up in trip may be a good move; each-way chance. |

11st 9lb |
Pulled up over fences at Kelso when last seen out having won a Carlisle handicap chase (3m, good) in October; runs over hurdles for the first time for more than two years (C&D winner in October 2023); second run after wind op. |

Not really firing on all cylinders since scrambling home by a neck on seasonal debut at Carlisle (3m, good) in October but now 6lb below that mark, and didn't run badly when last of five finishers here (3m2f, good to soft) in March; had another wind op (his third) soon after that latest outing; one to consider. |

Last win was off a higher mark and he'll appreciate returning to further after chasing home a good thing over 2m4f at Ayr (soft; fine on good ground); that was a welcome return to form; definite chance if he can back it up. |

Ex-Willie Mullins; smart novice hurdler, third in the 2022 Ballymore at Cheltenham; has won four of his last five points (all for today's rider), and was runner-up at Hexham on hunter chase debut last time (3m, good; Settle Down Jill third, Brandy McQueen and Dressedtoimpress both pulled up); the one to beat. |

Third in Grade 1 novice hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March 2022 for Willie Mullins; he's raced in points on his last seven starts, winning five of them; one to be interested in now back under rules. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

But disappointing in four runs over hurdles since a spell chasing; has dropped to a good mark as a result and better run last time; down in grade; could go well. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Easily made all in this last year when 5lb higher and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he's struggled for form over fences/hurdles since winning a novice chase at Kelso in December. |

Won this last year before following up at Ayr and is well handicapped on all that; however, this season's wins have been over fences and it's been a struggle back hurdling the last twice. |

9yo who is lightly raced for his age and made it four wins from his last five starts, and 2-3 over fences, when scoring at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in November; has a progressive profile and could play another leading role. |

Dual hurdle winner; has been expensive to follow over fences (0-9) and fair to say that others arrive here in better form. |

Respectable third (off 12lb higher) when favourite for this race last year but was in better form at the time; last of six finishers returned to this C&D most recently, taking chase record to 0-8. |
