Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3rd 1 | 13th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 1 | 12st 0lb | pressed leaders early, prominent from 7th, led narrowly or disputed lead 3 out, headed approaching last, hung left run-in, no extra final 110yds, lost second towards finish | 6/4 |
| 1 | 2nd Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 1 | 12st 0lb | Top weights have a poor record (just one win in 18 years) but this 7yo had form figures of 1121 in handicap chases at about this trip last season and didn't disgrace himself in a Grade 1 at Aintree the final time; uncomplicated prominent racer who usually jumps well and commands the utmost respect; has won on good but softer might be preferable. | 5/2 |
| 4th 2 | 12th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 | 11st 7lb | Acts on any going; progressive in handicap chases this season, producing form figures of 1121; much too good for his rivals in the Ultima at Cheltenham (3m1f) most recently, having travelled like a classy horse through the race; well worth his place in this field and warrants respect. | 7/2 |
| 1st 17 | 12th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 | 11st 4lb | Pulled up in the Albert Bartlett last March but 3-3 over hurdles previously; has put those exploits in the shade since going handicap chasing this season, measuring his fences well when winning at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) and Ascot (3m, good) before doing well at the weights against a useful sort over 3m at Kempton last month; can advance further with this stiffer test and he looks a likely type for this race. | 7/1 |
| 2nd 1 | 13th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 | 11st 10lb | Justified favouritism in three-runner race at Ascot (3m, good) seven weeks ago, taking chase record to 2-2 and overall strike-rate to 7-10; now 1lb higher in a stronger contest but he's progressive and again commands respect. | 9/4 |
