2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpieces when placed in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) last year but looked out of sorts when pulled up twice in November and it's hard to predict whether this will be a going day. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Won the novice handicap chase on this card 12 months ago when also returning from a break; has pulled up in his two previous races over 3m but he wasn't stopping when tried in cheekpieces and finishing third in Market Rasen's 2m5f Summer Plate in July (just behind Courtland); there's stamina in his pedigree; considered. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time chase winner and his last success was in this race (off 2lb lower) last year; has been in and out this season but he bounced back with a fair third in Class 2 handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) two weeks ago; has possibilities if he can back that up and he's versatile ground-wise. |

3rd 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Inconsistent this season but has finished a good second on two occasions (November/December) and filled the same position in this race 12 months ago prior to beating Heltenham at Newton Abbot; well capable of posing a threat, provided he's back to form. |
8/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Usually wears cheeekpieces; inconsistent (2P2P) this term but sole attempt in blinkers resulted in a good effort at Ascot (2m3f) on penultimate start; could go well in the reapplied blinds. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Progressive front-runner who has won two handicaps this term (2m3f/2m1f, good to firm/soft) and came second in the Grade 2 Game Spirit at Newbury (2m, heavy) in February; a bad mistake at the first fence all but ended his race in the Champion Chase at Cheltenham last month; sent off 50-1 at the Festival and his form has to go to a new level if he's to pose a threat today. |
50/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Acts on any ground; has become a very consistent chaser; form figures this term read 12122, the second-place finishes in Grade 2 events, including handicaps; ran creditably behind a leading novice in the Game Spirit at Newbury most recently; even if he gives his running again, that won't be nearly enough to trouble the judge now that he is upped further in class; a lot to find. |
50/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Acts on soft ground; has become a very consistent handicap chaser; form figures this term read 1212, the second-place finishes behind progressive Thistle Ask in the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter and Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton; better than ever, has won at Newbury and looks sure to run his race; rock-solid claims. |

Record of 3-6 over fences; only beat two rivals for the last of those wins (2m) but he ran well in a useful chase at Newbury a month ago (2m4f, good) and this is easier than that; respected. |

10st 5lb |
Won last May/June (2m/2m4f, good) in the first two of his five runs over fences, but it took a three-runner race for him to score again three weeks ago (Doncaster 2m, good) and he still threw in a blunder even then; in this company, others are a bit more persuasive. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Good ground is the key to him; his form had nosedived but he was running much better when hampered late on at the Cheltenham Festival and then came good at Haydock (2m4f, good), prevailing only narrowly but under a confident ride in a strong race (he also won it the season before when staged at Cheltenham); a 4lb rise seems very generous. |
11/8 |

1st 4 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Won this race 12 months ago at Cheltenham when 1lb higher so he's dangerously handicapped for his defence; his form had nosedived after winning in a small field at Newton Abbot in October but the signs were more encouraging last time in the 2m4f Plate at the Festival as he was staying on when hampered by a faller at the last fence; has to be of interest, especially given the yard's form. |
4/1 |

11th 13 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
He's run some of his better races at Cheltenham, including a New course win (about 2m4f, good; off this mark) from O'Moore Park last April; not much going for him on his form since beating three rivals at Newton Abbot in October but some sort of revival isn't beyond the imagination. |

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. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who has contested three handicap chases for new stable, looking a non-stayer over 3m1f on second occasion but that's far better than his 2m4f/2m5f races either side; dropped 6lb in the process and he now wears a tongue-tie and cheekpieces, both for the first time. |

14th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who has raced in two major handicaps for new stable, non-stayer over 3m1f latest; had some strong pieces of form for previous yard and, with that in mind, looks interesting back down in trip/grade. |
5/2 |

18th Jan 2025 Heavy 3m 1f 125y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who won a Grade 2 novice chase at Punchestown (2m, soft) in November 2023 for Gordon Elliott; it's very early days for him with his up-and-coming trainer and he stayed 2m4f over hurdles, but there's a big stamina question to answer today and he was pulled up in the Paddy Power Gold Cup in November on his seasonal and stable debut; others have less to prove. |

Chase record is 5-11, the most recent win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last spring; seen only twice since but ran well in a notable handicap at Plumpton (2m1f) the latest time; possibilities at the weights, provided he stays the new trip. |

2nd 2 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Made it 5-9 over fences with convincing win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last May; pulled up on sole run since, at Ascot in December, but the good to soft ground may not have suited; second in this last year; could go well. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Chase career commenced with a four-timer last spring/summer; subsequently lost his form until running well, beating all bar a similarly useful stablemate, in major handicap at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last time; possibilities, provided he's as effective back up in trip. |
