Made the frame in similar event here in January, on the back of his Old Roan win; has developed cracks in his record since and ran dismally at Chepstow most recently (unbeaten there previously); others preferred. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won the Old Roan Chase at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) last autumn and he's only 1lb higher than that day; nothing wrong with his fourth at Punchestown when last seen in May; goes on all ground and can be ridden positively or from behind; player. |

8th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Made all off a mark of 149 in the Old Roan at Aintree (2m4f, good) six weeks ago, confirming that he's suited by sharp/flat tracks; should take well to Huntingdon (first run here) but faces a stiffer task on these terms, under 6lb penalty. |

27th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Inconsistent last season but goes well fresh and he was runner-up in this race last October (good to soft; also effective on good ground); he runs off a mark 6lb lower than 12 months ago so is well worth a second look. |

12th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Creditable third in this race 12 months ago but isn't sure to repeat the effort in this stronger renewal; possibly flattered when second in the Old Roan here on reappearance (numerous fences were omitted) and not in the same form since; bottom on ratings. |

Clearcut winner at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) two weeks ago, enhancing his good reappearance record; however, it's a long time since he followed up a success; back on career-high mark and worth opposing.

12st 0lb |
Found to have a wound on his leg when last to finish in a 2m6f Grade 2 at Sandown on final appearance; pretty much as good as ever at times last season and succumbed only to Forward Plan in Kempton's big 3m February handicap (soft; effective on good); not handicapped out of this with Callum Pritchard claiming 7lb and he's usually mustard after a break. |

27th Apr 2024 Good 2m 6f 164y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
More or less as good as ever in handicaps this season, winning at Chepstow and running a blinder when second in valuable event at Kempton (3m, soft) in February; arrives here relatively fresh and doesn't have much to find on the ratings, even though Dylan Johnston cannot claim his usual 5lb. |

Very productive over hurdles and fences, mostly at about 2m; Kelso reappearance success (good to soft) took his chase form figures to 122121; return to 2m4f is the question mark.

Comfortably won this race last year, with his trainer having already won it three times in the previous five years with Nuts Well; ended last term with a win at Ayr in April and needs major respect despite being 5lb higher than 12 months ago. |

Won off this mark on reappearance at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) in October and he's versatile ground-wise; not beaten far when fourth of five at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) last time, despite jumping to the right (which isn't the norm for him), and he's not ruled out. |

Has thrived in staying handicaps this season, winning the competitive Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good to soft) in June and finishing second off a lofty mark at Worcester (2m7f, good) in August; this 10yo returns from a 66-day break and has something to find, but the form principals aren't guaranteed to be at their best at this stage of the season; interesting. |

Eight-time chase winner; second at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in April and in the Perth Gold Cup (3m, good to firm) in June before scoring in clearcut style in C&D Summer Cup (good to soft) four weeks ago; up another 4lb but has an excellent record under Joe Anderson and needs major respect. |

10st 13lb |
Made it four wins for the season (all on good but has run well on soft) when comfortably beating solid yardstick at Worcester (2m7f) last August; not at that level since and extremely fortunate to win at Hereford last month, after a break, but it was over an inadequate 2m and there was encouragement in that run; Peter Bowen and Sean Bowen won this with 40-1 shot Henllan Harri in 2017 who, like this fellow, was tackling his longest trip yet; one to note. |

Well beaten after making bad jumping error at Cheltenham in April but was placed in valuable race at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) on second stable start and is now 3lb lower than when winning for Lucinda Russell at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day; cheekpieces left off today; a possible. |

Well held in 2m/2m4f handicaps here earlier in the season before signing off for Lucinda Russell with a narrow defeat of Our Jet at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; closely matched with that rival); his second run since joining this yard was better than the first but he was still beaten 10l at Kempton and this is stronger again. |

Unraced beyond an extended 2m4f and this is a tough race in which to test his stamina; however, he was strong at the finish when winning a Grade 2 novice at Ayr (2m4f, good) in April and may well have staying potential; might have needed his reappearance in the Old Roan and is not ruled out. |

11th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 25y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Looked a top prospect with his performances in 2021 in novice hurdles (including one on soft) and novice chases; however, he had an injury-enforced 687-day absence and was always towards the rear when reappearing in Grade 2 Old Roan Handicap Chase at Aintree in October; he reportedly "wasn't really firing" through November but has given more positive signs this year; it's far too soon to write him off. |

Just one win from last 16 starts and inconsistent last season, including when tailed off in this race on reappearance; however, he was returning from a break when going close in this in 2022 (good to soft) and showed considerable spark when Grade 2 runner-up this February; capable of having a big say. |

27th Apr 2024 Good 2m 6f 164y Class 1 |

Just one win from last 15 starts but still capable of high-class form, as he showed when second to Shishkin in the Denman Chase at Newbury (2m7f, heavy); left well behind from three out in the Ryanair at Cheltenham next time, but this is weaker and drying ground will pose him no problems; real chance with blinkers replacing the usual cheekpieces. |

14th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Has a disappointing strike-rate for a horse of his ability but is capable of smart form, such as third-place finish in this contest last year; clear best effort since when second in Newbury Grade 2 last month, having travelled smoothly into contention then eventually got outstayed by Shishkin over 2m7f on heavy ground; that tees him up nicely for another crack at the Ryanair. |
