Overton Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Improved from hurdles debut when seeing off a pair of subsequent winners at Hereford in December. Late mistake proved costly at Ascot next time before struggling in a Grade 3 Sandown handicap/heavy-ground novice at Ayr in the spring. In top hands as he now goes chasing.

Work in progress over hurdles but entirely different proposition over fences last season, winning 3 on the bounce before coming up short in a 3-runner Aintree handicap on Boxing Day. Taken on for the lead when well held final start but no surprise were he to return with a bang up in trip.

Bumper winner who reached a fairly useful level over hurdles during 2025/26, doubling his tally in a Huntingdon novice in March. Far from disgraced when ninth in big-field Aintree handicap in April and expected to step up plenty on a considerate chasing debut last month. Up in distance minus hood.

Went with more enthusiasm than is often the case when getting it right at the fourth attempt over fences in 4-runner C&D handicap in February. Found it tougher from revised mark in the spring and he's never been one for maximum faith. Off 6 months.

Thriving following a breathing operation when making it 4 wins from 6 starts over fences at Chepstow (2m) in April. Made it consecutive poor efforts with a relatively laboured return at Uttoxeter but back on track to an extent when second in a novice hurdle there 4 weeks ago. Up in distance.
