24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Made all in major handicap at Cheltenham (2m4f) in December but hasn't completed any of his four subsequent races, the latest after wind surgery (and in a new visor); cheekpieces return and an easy lead would help matters; tailed off in this last year. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Has form at 3m1f; made all in major handicap at Cheltenham (2m4f) in December; unable to dominate in the same manner and eventually pulled up in all three outings since; had wind surgery (his second) since latest; wears new headgear; again far from certain to have his own way. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Made all here (2m4f, good to soft) in December and remains well handicapped on his old form for Willie Mullins (at up to 3m1f); however, this 10yo has been pulled up on his last two starts, the latest only 12 days ago. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Well beaten at Haydock last time (behind Genois) in a race he won the previous season; now below par in his last three chases and belatedly tries cheekpieces at the age of 11. |
10/1 |

8th 8 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won this last year (good) and followed up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in June off a mark 1lb higher than today's; pulled up/tailed off over fences on next two starts but his recent outing over hurdles was fairly encouraging and he could build on that now back chasing. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Six-time chase winner who won last summer but twice disappointed since; he's 0-8 as a hurdler but ability needs respecting when there's no depth to this race. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
11yo who was tailed off at Cheltenham in December and pulled up at Haydock this month on sole run since; arrives with something to prove but three visits to Perth have yielded two wins, including this race in 2023, so he's worth a second look; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Inconsistent last year but won twice (3m/2m4f, good/soft), those victories coming on the back of respective breaks of 89 and 120 days; may be best caught fresh nowadays so is worth a second look after 113 days off. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Back in rude health over C&D (good) in May, easily beating Saint Arvans to win by 20l, and his subsequent Market Rasen fourth (2m5f, good) was also a good effort; still well handicapped on old form; shortlisted. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Ran quite well to be fourth in this last year when 7lb higher; however, he hasn't won since 2023 and the questions are mounting up. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Went close at Market Rasen (2m5f) in June but behind Courtland back there next time and has since disappointed at Stratford; losing run is mounting up. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
On a losing run but went close at Market Rasen (2m5f) in June and was not beaten far in valuable Summer Plate over that C&D (again on good) last month; will be fine on this left-handed track; no surprise if he features. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won this race off today's mark in 2023 but has become very inconsistent in the meantime; arguably ran better than eventual 21l defeat suggests when third of seven at Uttoxeter (3m, good; first run after wind op) last month but it's hard to tell whether he'll be on a going day here. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
16th Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Useful at his best but has regressed and become very inconsistent; returned from layoff with two disappointing efforts this season and needs subsequent wind op to enable a revival; raced mainly on good/good to soft ground. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 |
24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Became very inconsistent last season and was pulled up (stopped quickly) last month, after a break; on a good mark and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Six-time course winner; not the force of old and has become inconsistent but looked in good nick when scoring at Wetherby (3m, good) in March, and last month's C&D third was perfectly respectable. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Inconsistent in recent years and no longer the force of old but kept on well to score at Wetherby (3m, good) last month, and this six-time course winner is sure to be suited by the return to this track. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Veteran who was a close second in this contest last year but is by no means certain to go one better, having gained all six jumps wins at Market Rasen; inconsistent results since last success. |
10/1 |
