1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Unfair to knock his strike-rate of 1-12 over fences as he's run some crackers in defeat, with four seconds last season including a strong C&D handicap and the Ultima at Cheltenham in March; quite likely that he was over the top when last to finish in the 3m1f Grade 1 novice at Aintree; tough, consistent and much respected despite a challenging mark. |

11st 7lb |
Only 1-11 over fences, the success in a Grade 2 Reynoldstown at Ascot that essentially fell apart; however, he's proved very consistent in good handicaps otherwise this term, second at the Cheltenham Festival (3m1f, good to soft) most recently; again likely to give his running. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Good third to Lookaway in the bumper on this card four years ago; spoiled his chance with a couple of mistakes in the Cheltenham Festival handicap won by Grand National contender Johnnywho; however, he split that rival and Deep Cave for useful effort at Ascot (3m, good to soft) in December and may resume his progress when jumping errors are avoided. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Second-season chaser who is enjoying another progressive campaign, winning a novice here (3m1f, good) in October and beaten a head in a handicap at Ascot (3m, good to soft) in December; not disgraced in Grade 2 at Newbury (2m7f, heavy) last time; not ruled out each-way now back in a handicap. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced for his age and best form when pipped in a Grade 3 handicap at Ascot (3m, good to soft) on latest start; however, reportedly unsuited by the soft ground (his first race on it) when pulled up in a Listed novice chase at Cheltenham the time before and he has plenty to find against two of today's rivals on the ratings. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Unraced over hurdles since winning Cheltenham novice in 2024 but recent 2m7f/3m chase form has been very respectable and he's edging down the weights; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; could have a say. |
12/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Steadily coming back to form since joining current stable, as a couple of third-place finishes this season attest; was a useful/progressive sort earlier in career and looks interesting off a reduced mark, assuming his resurgence is sustained. |

3rd 1 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Disappointing for new stable last season but appreciated the ease in grade when respectable third of six in quite valuable contest at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last month and won't mind what the weather does here; contender if able to build on that recent effort. |

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. |
11/2 |

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. |
