9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very talented in his prime; this 10yo isn't the force of old and today's race is much tougher than the hunter chases he's won easily on his last two starts (2m4f, good to soft/good) but if he can tap further into his back-class he may well be in the mix; James King has won this twice. |

Listed winner in his prime and has made a solid start to hunter chasing, namely a close second and easy success at Wincanton; should follow up. |

12st 6lb |
Powers were on the decline when confined to hurdling last season but he was a classy chaser back in the day and nearly won his first hunter chase over 3m1f here a month ago (heavy); may need that longer trip now but strong claims otherwise. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Back to form with some respectable efforts this spring but his second at Kempton (2m4f, good) was in a match and he was well held when third here last time; record for current yard is now 0-7 and he looks vulnerable again back up in trip. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won this in 2023; somewhat resurgent at Catterick this month but in a weaker race than this and he was beaten fair and square in a match at Kempton last week. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Unconvincing record for current yard; somewhat resurgent at Catterick last time but that effort is well short of his fairly useful best form. |
13/2 |
