Matata (G) Fell
Bounced back to best under a more patient ride when winning a premier handicap at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. Has failed by a long way to back that up in 3 subsequent starts, shaping as though amis…

Brilliantly primed to win 2 £100k handicaps at Cheltenham and Ascot during the autumn. Shaped as if needing the run back from 11 weeks off in Game Spirit at Newbury but last month's mid-field effort …

Good first season over fences in 2023/24, winning 2 of 5 starts. Couldn't add to tally last term but has returned in good order, getting back to winning ways at Wetherby in December (2m). Another sou…

Ideally suited by front-running tactics and landed Red Rum Handicap Chase for second successive season 12 months ago. Down in the weights and shaped as though in good order when third in that renewal…

Fairly useful form over hurdles and similar form over fences, winning 4-y-o event at Compiegne in September and minor event at Auteuil a month later. Left Francois Nicolle for €320,000 later in Novem…

Free-going sort who got his chase career back on track in no uncertain terms when dominating a small-field contest at Newbury 4 weeks ago. Clearly seen to good effect on that occasion and 6 lb rise a…

Moudan (G)
Big career best when doubling chase total at Navan last month. Backed that up when second at Fairyhouse and likely to give it another good go, albeit he's out of the weights in a better race.

Fine strike rate over hurdles (5-10) and notched second success in this sphere when making all in a small-field Leicester handicap in February 2025. More miss than hit since and this no easy race to …

Fairly useful 2m chase winner for Gavin Cromwell last season. Back in good order for this yard with a brace of placed efforts in handicaps in 2026 but he's 7 lb "wrong" here.
