11st 10lb |
Sole win in eight chases came in a three-runner novice but he was racing beyond 3m for the first time when not beaten far in the Welsh National and again he was very competitive in the Grand National Trial at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft; could prove even better on soft); handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere and he appeals as a likely type for this. |

Lightly raced 9yo who was suited by the step up in trip when third of 17 in the Welsh National at Chepstow (3m6f, good to soft) in December; he's won on soft and heavy ground and may well have more to offer over marathon trips; key player. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Took the notable scalp of Haiti Couleurs on his chase debut last season and ran well afterwards, including a near miss in this race; poor the last twice (heavy/soft) when tried in a visor but the cheekpieces that have worked well for him are now back on; much respected. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Beat Haiti Couleurs on his chase debut last season and mostly ran well afterwards; seems back in fair form, as he went close at Ludlow and ran a lot better than a 21l defeat may suggest when visored for the first time at Wincanton (3m2f); that was his first time on heavy ground and it looked a factor in him getting so tired late on; one to consider. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 162y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Beat Haiti Couleurs on his chase debut last season when Isaac Des Obeaux was further back and mostly ran well afterwards; probably needed his first race of the season and he stuck to his task to go down by only a length at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); gives the impression he'll stay all day and a visor could work (replacing cheekpieces; looked lazy at times on that final run). |

10st 12lb |
The huge promise he showed as a novice hurdler is a fading memory but he responded well to first-time visor when runner-up under positive ride at Uttoxeter (3m2f, soft) six weeks ago and has obvious claims if in the right mood again here. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
The huge promise he showed as a novice hurdle is a fading memory and he's found it difficult to get a foothold over fences following a long absence; never going before pulled up at Cheltenham and now tries a visor. |
