13th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Acts on ground from good to heavy; disappointing in the Stayers' Hurdle most recently but progressive otherwise and could well rebound; won at this course (2m4f handicap) in October and Ascot (3m Grade 1, gamely) in December; remains of major interest. |

14th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Highly progressive second-season hurdler who won the Grade 1 Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot (3m, good) in December by a short head from Paisley Park; he needs a bigger performance on today's first outing since but this 7yo keeps finding the necessary further improvement, as his excellent seven-from-ten strike-rate attests; versatile ground-wise; entitled to plenty of respect. |

23rd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 97y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Only defeats in his novice campaign were at Grade 1 level; impressed in a 2m4f Aintree handicap on his comeback and, although only third on his step up to 3m at Haydock (Class 1 handicap, good to soft), his strong finish from off a steady pace was seriously eyecatching; has to bridge a sizeable class-gap here but could be progressive enough to do so. |

Has form figures of 1113 (at 2m3f-3m under Ben Sutton) since handicapping, most recently a close third at Cheltenham in April; may be capable of further progress this term; appears to have a solid chance.

12st 2lb |
Not at best when tenth (Monviel eighth) of 16 at Ascot last month but this largely consistent 7yo won at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) prior to that and isn't the type to stay down for long. |

A model of consistency and gained a deserved win at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in January despite his usual rider losing his irons two out; up 5lb and this is more competitive but he has each-way possibilities all the same. |

Successful twice as a novice hurdler last season, including at Ffos Las (2m) on final outing, but struggled with consistency and isn't sure to progress this term; others preferred.

Runner-up in his only completed point and just 1lb higher than for the latest of his two wins over hurdles, but well beaten in two starts over fences since returning from another absence last month; down again in grade but still has enough to prove. |

Safely held over 2m on recent seasonal/chase debut but now 5lb lower than when creditable third behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Crambo in handicap hurdle at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) last October; can't be ruled out. |

Ended last season with a remarkable hat-trick of wins in major staying handicap chases; not certain to transfer the form back to hurdles and may need this reappearance run en route to bigger targets over fences.

23rd Nov 2024 Good 3m 5f 94y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
2023 was his year when bagging a hat-trick in high-profile staying chases; getting himself well handicapped again and returning to further will be welcomed after this season's two runs at about 3m; not ruled out with Cobden booked. |

2nd Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
On fire during the opening half of 2023 when bagging a hat-trick in high-profile staying chases; that came at a cost mark-wise and best run since was his fifth in last season's Grand National; ran very flat on his comeback at Chepstow only 21 days ago when tailed off behind Neon Moon. |

11st 0lb |
Enjoyed very profitable spell in marathon chases towards end of 2022-23 campaign and was brought back to his peak for very creditable fifth in last season's Grand National; remains on a workable mark but Aintree in April is reportedly his main target again this term. |

Novice chasing campaign went pear-shaped after a promising start; had a second wind surgery since last run; 3-3 over hurdles two seasons ago, looking talented, and is very interesting back in this sphere.

Went the wrong way over fences last season after a promising start and had a (second) wind operation over the summer; might have needed the run when fifth of eight in handicap hurdle at Aintree four weeks ago; needs to step up markedly on that form to make an impact here but it's possible. |

Irish point winner; created a positive impression over C&D on second hurdle run (heavy; trained by Sam Thomas) but he was then absent for 1,058 days before his return at Aintree last month; shaped okay to a point on that occasion and now drops in class back on a testing surface; worth market check. |

Three-time hurdle winner; following further wind surgery, he made a pleasing start over fences when losing out narrowly at Hexham (2m4f, soft); this is stronger but having that run under his belt could count for plenty. |
