1st 8 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has made far more progress over hurdles than seemed likely, having been 0-3 (admittedly placed each time) in bumpers for Paul Nicholls; 3-3 in this sphere for new stable, winning by 12l at Cheltenham (2m1f) and 18l at Haydock (1m7f Grade 2) the last two occasions, both on good to soft ground; strong traveller who was particularly impressive from the front last time (he doesn't necessarily need to dominate); brother to a Cheltenham Festival winner; greatly respected in his bid to give Nicky Henderson a sixth success in this race. |

1st 2 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Placed in his three bumpers for Paul Nicholls (one on soft) and made it 2-2 over hurdles for Nicky Henderson when winning by 12l at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) last month; leading claims for top trainer who has won three of the last six runnings. |

Brother to smart Irish jumper Chosen Mate; placed in bumpers at Sandown (good to soft) and Kempton (soft) on first two outings; likely to be right in the thick of things again. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Course bumper winner who launched hurdling career with two Sandown wins (2m, good to soft/soft) in the autumn, the latter at Listed level; drops back in trip/grade after a respectable ninth in Grade 1 Turners at Cheltenham (2m5f, good to soft) last month and ought to be hard to beat, despite his big penalty. |

9th 7 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Won his first two over hurdles, readily justifying the odds in Sandown maiden (2m, good to soft) in November before impressing in a Listed event over that C&D (soft, Soldier Reeves second) the following month; paid for trying to match it with the winner when firmly put in his place at Haydock last time, however, and that seemed to expose his limitations; goes up in trip. |

2nd 1 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
2-3 in bumpers and 2-2 over hurdles following a pair of wins at Sandown (2m, good to soft/soft), the latest a Listed novice last time; he was impressive last time (Soldier Reeves about 6l back in second) and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie; key player. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Improved for the step up to 2m5f when storming home for fourth at 150-1 in the Turners at Cheltenham (good to soft) last month; he doesn't have the Cheltenham hill this time and his stablemate Bossman Jack would probably have beaten him at the Festival had he jumped the final flight proficiently, but this 5yo is unexposed at this sort of distance and could be a contender. |
7/1 |

4th 18 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Made a winning debut over hurdles here (about 2m, soft; first-time tongue-tie) in November; readily brushed aside by Hurricane Pat at Sandown the following month, however, and probably flattered to get closer to that rival when soundly beaten at Haydock last time; up in trip with work to do. |
50/1 |

3rd 3 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Built upon point/bumper promise (including on good to soft ground) to win on hurdle debut at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November; another good run when Listed runner-up at Sandown (2m, soft) since and he's 5lb better off with the winner Hurricane Pat, although that rival had plenty in hand. |

11st 4lb |
Runner-up on debut in bumper last February (2m, soft) and 4-4 since (good to soft/good), winning at Market Rasen (2m) this season on his first two hurdle starts; he's a highly likeable prospect but today is a much tougher test of his credentials and others have more substance to their form. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
A very useful four-time winner on the Flat, he got off to a winning start over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) in December; stayed on well to snatch third up in trip in a Grade 2 at Haydock (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; holds obvious credentials back down in grade. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has some useful Flat form and kept on steadily from a long way off the pace to take third on hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in November; subsequent Grade 2 defeat is easily overlooked but he has become a very awkward ride, often refusing to settle and/or hanging; comes with risk. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |

Quirky and sometimes blows the start; on a reduced mark and retains some ability but he is not the obvious solution to this puzzle. |

10th 15 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Quirky and sometimes blows the start; well handicapped judged on lots of 2024 form over 1m4f-2m, but he's seldom sparked in the same way since. |
