Much better signs when third of 10 over C&amp;D (good to soft) in June, going with enthusiasm in refitted cheekpieces and collared only late. Blinkers on now from career-low mark and he could get his own way in front.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260923per155702.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>12\/1<\/p>\n<p>Made great strides as a novice chaser last season when twice a winner at Kelso before an excellent second of 17 in National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham Festival (3\u00bem). Pulled up on final run in Scottish Grand National at Ayr but interesting on pick of last season&#8217;s novice form. Yard quiet though.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260923per155703.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>15\/2<\/p>\n<p>Course winner who responded well to a combination of cheekpieces and an attacking ride when landing handicap at Ascot (19f) in December. Resumed from a break with a solid third of 7 at Newton Abbot (21f, good to soft) in May. This much longer trip asks a big question though. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260923per155705.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>6\/1<\/p>\n<p>Irish chaser who progressed well over fences last autumn, completing a hat-trick at Gowran (2\u00bdm) in October. Resumed from 9 months off with fifth in Midlands National at Kilbeggan but pulled up in handicap chase at Killarney (21f, good to soft) since. Has a bit to prove now. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260923per155706.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>14\/1<\/p>\n<p>Much improved switched to fences in 2024\/25, winning 3 of his 5 starts. Off (reportedly struck into) since a reappearance third in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21f, good) 12 months ago. This likeable front runner is capable fresh but this is still no easy ask.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260923per155707.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>5\/2<\/p>\n<p>Front runner who gained a third win since joining Tristan Davidson with a game display at Cartmel (21f) in June. Subsequently ran a cracker when third of 13 in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen (21f, good to firm) in July. Well in the mix again in a headgear change off an unchanged mark. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260923per155708.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>4\/1<\/p>\n<p>Versatile sort who has returned better than ever, following up his narrow success in small-field Cartmel chase (25f) with a gutsy win in handicap hurdle (2\u00bem) there. Posted a very good second of 5 back chasing at the same track (25f, good to soft) last time. Considered. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260923per155709.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>10\/1<\/p>\n<p>Landed the odds in 3-runner chase at Kelso (23f) in May. Got back on track with second of 7 in handicap chase over C&amp;D in July but needs to back it up now in this more exacting company. Stable without a win in over 2 months too.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"9\/2 Charlie Hall winner at Wetherby in 2024 but has largely found life tough since.
