17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
His chase form has been mixed this season but he faced a tough task from out of the handicap at the Cheltenham Festival (pulled up); runner-up at Kempton (2m5f) in November on last hurdle start and he was second over fences at this meeting 12 months ago (3m); might not be a forlorn hope today. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
9yo who was progressive last season, winning three times (2m5f/3m, good/good to soft); he didn't run badly when fifth at Ascot (3m, soft) in January last time but is 9lb out of the handicap today, so faces a tough task. |

Form dipped last time but otherwise a consistent sort and may rebound; however, looks considerably more exposed than some of these rivals and possibly has nothing in hand off current mark. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Made bright start to chasing career in early 2024, winning at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) before clear second at Kempton (3m, good to soft), but dropped out of contention worryingly quickly on final two starts last season (had wind op in between) and needs to prove his wellbeing. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Good-ground maiden hurdle winner who scored on his chase debut at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) in January before clear second to Eyed at Kempton (3m, good to soft); flopped at Kempton last time but has had wind surgery since and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |

26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
All four wins have come here, three over fences at around 3m and one over hurdles at 2m4f; latest success over fences came here last month in this headgear combination, but he's just as effective over hurdles and a key player reverting to this sphere off a small rise. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Both wins over fences have been over C&D, the first in first-time headgear a year ago; not at his best when fifth in the Sussex National back here 13 days ago but must be taken seriously down in grade with visor replacing blinkers. |

Two wins over hurdles in Britain; uneven form in three chase starts, best display when second in a small-field Newbury handicap; off for over a year; good claimer booked for his Irish debut. |

One of three for yard; 3m2f handicap chase winner for Paul Nicholls off 5lb lower at Newton Abbott in May (3m2f, good); never travelled when pulled up at Fontwell in June (3m2f, good); preferred by Kennedy and goes on any ground; market can guide on debut for new yard. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won three 2m7f handicaps (all on good) in early part of last season; made low-key return behind Tranquil Sea last month but that race was competitive and, with that run behind him, he may yet have more improvement to come. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Absent since an October double (2m7f Class 3) that took his hurdles record to 4-12; returns to action off a stiffer mark in deeper waters and looks by no means certain to bag the hat-trick. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Has quickly struck up a good partnership with Isabelle Ryder and he came from well back to win easily at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last Sunday; if he's in the same sort of form he'll be in the mix again under a 7lb penalty. |
