Placed in Aintree bumper on rules debut last spring and makes hunter chase debut after winning restricted points at Larkhill (soft) and Lockinge (good) this year; did it easily on the latter occasion and it will be interesting to see how he fares here. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Strong form when winning hunter chases at Cheltenham in May 2023 and May 2024; in good heart in point-to-points this season but last May's hunter chase form suggests he may be found wanting. |

Useful hunter chaser who has two Cheltenham wins on his CV and was placed in the Champion Hunters' Chase on this card in 2024; not at best this year, though, and managed only third of six when warm favourite at Cheltenham in first-time cheekpieces four weeks ago. |

Held on to land the restricted race on this card last year, and this month's 7l Cheltenham fourth (3m1f, good) was stronger form again; more needed, but oughtn't fail for stamina judged on midwinter 3m4f point win. |

12st 0lb |
Will have appreciated a simple task in his members race last time after a hard-fought Didmarton dead-heat; in better heart than many, but it's a worry that all bar one of his four chase starts have featured their share of jumping errors, including this race last year (pulled up). |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Back from a break with a clearcut win over C&D (good to soft) in December and he's finished runner-up in three subsequent starts; up another 2lb but he had a near-miss at Market Rasen (2m7f) last time and this return to quicker ground is no problem (won a point on good to firm); respected. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Twice runner-up since his impressive Ludlow return (3m, good to soft) in December, coming clear with the winner over C&D last time (fourth and fifth have won since); up another 3lb, but likely to be bang there once again. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Returned from break with clear win at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) last month and was not discredited when close/clear second off same mark at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) soon afterwards; 6lb higher now but still respected in current mood. |
