Third in a Class 1 chase over two miles and six and a half furlongs at Sandown on 25 April, he showed useful form despite finishing nine and a half lengths behind the winner. That was an encouraging response to being pulled up at Aintree earlier that month. He returns after 189 days off on 144, 12lb above his latest winning mark at Kempton in March. The drop of five and a half furlongs is substantial, though his course-and-distance win on good ground in November 2025 offers reassurance.

Won a Class 1 chase over two miles on good ground at Cheltenham on 11 March, providing a strong piece of form for this Class 2 assignment. His current mark of 144 is 5lb higher than for that win, and he returns from a 234-day break. Three chase wins over this course and distance, all on good ground, underline how well today's conditions suit him. He also finished second here over two miles and a furlong in November 2025, beaten two and a quarter lengths.

Won over this course and distance on soft ground in December 2025 before following up over one mile and seven and a half furlongs at Sandown in January. That Sandown success came on good ground, so today's going holds no obvious concern, although he is now 7lb above his latest winning mark. He finished seventh in a Class 1 chase at Cheltenham in March, beaten 12 lengths from today's rating of 141. He returns from a 234-day break, with Ben Pauling's successful record at Ascot offering a little further encouragement.

Three chase wins over this course and distance give him a strong Ascot record, with good ground suiting when successful here in November 2023. His current mark of 137 is 18lb below his latest chase success, here on 25 November 2023, which makes him interesting on older form. He needs to revive, however, after finishing eighth at Aintree on 9 April, beaten 21 and a half lengths in a Class 1 chase. Harry Fry has enjoyed plenty of success at Ascot, and this return to familiar surroundings comes after a 205-day break.

A fall at Sandown on 25 April followed heavy chase defeats at Cheltenham and Aintree in March and April, leaving him with plenty to prove. His better form on good ground includes a Class 2 win at Doncaster in March 2025 and a Class 1 second at Aintree that April. He is now rated 137, still 7lb above his Doncaster winning mark, so the fall in his rating does not make him obviously well treated. Anthony Honeyball's three winners from nine runners in the past fortnight offer some encouragement as he returns from a 189-day absence.

Three successive chase wins from November 2025 to January 2026 culminated in a Class 3 success over two miles at Warwick on good to soft. His current mark of 135 is just 3lb above that Warwick winning rating, so his winter form gives him a chance. However, he was pulled up at Cheltenham in March and finished eighth at Haydock in April, beaten 24 lengths, both on good ground. He returns after 199 days off, with today's good going contrasting with the good to soft and heavy ground of those three wins.

Won a Class 2 chase over two miles four furlongs on good ground at Uttoxeter in May, so he has form in today's grade and conditions. That success ended a sequence of four pulled-up chase runs, however, and consistency remains a concern. His latest outing brought a 35-length defeat in seventh over hurdles at Chepstow on 11 October, leaving him with something to prove back over fences. He is 7lb above his May winning mark and tackles a trip three furlongs shorter than at Uttoxeter, which makes this a different test.

Five wins from his last six chase starts show how much progress he has made, with September's Newton Abbot success coming on good ground. That Class 3 victory over two miles and half a furlong gives him a solid platform, although an 8lb rise to 133 demands more. He was beaten 50 and a half lengths in a Class 2 chase at the same course in August, so this grade poses a question. Anthony Honeyball and Sam Twiston-Davies have won three of their four races together in the past fortnight, offering further encouragement.

Won a Class 2 chase at Kelso in October 2025 over two miles and a furlong on good ground, conditions he encounters again here. Now just 1lb above his Kelso winning mark, a return to that level would give her a chance. However, she finished seventh at Kempton in March, beaten 32 and a half lengths, after similarly heavy defeats there and at Huntingdon in February. The return from two miles and four and a half furlongs may help, but she needs to revive after 231 days off.

A solid third in a Class 2 chase over this trip at Kelso on 4 October, beaten three and three quarters of a length, gives him a sound chance. He had also gone close at Musselburgh on 1 February, finishing second over two miles, beaten half a length on good to soft. Today's good ground differs from the good to firm at Kelso, while his third at Perth in April provides another positive example on good. A mark of 122 puts him 3lb below his chase-winning rating at Punchestown in June 2025, giving him a reasonable chance at the weights.

His second over this course and distance on good ground in November 2025, beaten three quarters of a length, gives him a persuasive piece of older form. He returns from 168 days off after finishing sixth at Bangor in May, beaten 47 and a half lengths, so recent form is a concern. A mark of 120 puts him 2lb below his latest chase win at Doncaster in January 2024, offering some scope if he can revive. Anthony Honeyball has had three winners from nine runners in the past fortnight, providing encouragement from the stable ahead of his return.

Successive chase wins at Wincanton and Ascot in March give him plenty to recommend him on his return to the larger obstacles. The Ascot success came over this course and distance on good ground in Class 3, so today's trip and going are well within his compass. He also ran well when narrowly beaten into second over hurdles at Chepstow on 11 October, offering encouragement about his current form. This Class 2 contest asks more, though, with a mark of 120 putting him 6lb above his winning rating here in March.
