|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 | 11st 11lb | So nearly won his second King George at Kempton over Christmas but, although he's a class act, excelling over 3m on good ground at that speed track doesn't mean that this test will suit him; his moderate late headway in the extended 2m4f Grade 1 Ryanair at Cheltenham last month isn't that persuasive either. | 33/1 |
| 3rd 1 | 12th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 | 11st 10lb | Won the Martin Pipe over hurdles at this meeting in 2022 as well as a novice chase here that year, but Kempton is where his heart lies, having won the Grade 1 King George (3m, good) in 2024 and gone desperately close in the same race (first-time visor, retained here) on Boxing Day; however, he's been beaten a long way out at the last two Festivals, in this race and the Gold Cup, and a flat track may now be ideal; has something to prove. | 3/1 |
| 2nd 1 | 26th Dec 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 1 | 11st 10lb | Three-time Grade 1 winner, including of this race last season when wearing refitted cheekpieces; however, he's been disappointing on his three starts this year (no headgear on latest) and hopes are pinned on the return to Kempton and the first-time visor sparking a major revival. | 16/1 |
| 4th 1 | 7th Dec 2025 Soft 2m 0f 200y | 12st 0lb | Enjoyed his favoured good ground when beating Il Est Francais in last year's King George; proved unsuited to the stamina test presented by the Cheltenham Gold Cup; struggled again in the Punchestown Gold Cup; ran a fine race up to the point of his exit at the last in this race last year; in contrast to 12 months ago, no prep race this time; ground conditions against him. | 20/1 |
| 4th 1 | 30th Apr 2025 Yielding 3m 0f 213y | 11st 10lb | jumped left on occasions, raced in third, went second 6th, struggling and lost second 3 out, weakening when lost third before 2 out, tailed off | 4/1 |
