Icare Grandchamp
ICARE GRANDCHAMP was restricted to just the one run in 2025 but it was a promising effort at Newbury a month ago, better than the result having made a bad mistake. His profile over the larger obstacles is a positive one so he looks the answer. Bridge Court and Throatlash head up the opposition.

Placed both appearances in 17f Carlisle novice hurdles last winter. Pulled up on chase debut at Bangor in February but proved a different proposition after 9 months off/wind surgery, supplementing his Wetherby win at Aintree on Boxing Day. Up 6 lb and in a deeper race but he needs considering.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAintree1m 7f 176yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/3Wetherby1m 7f 36ySoft (Good to Soft in Places)Chase1/6Bangor-on-dee2m 1f 77yHeavyChasepu/5Carlisle2m 1fSoftHurdle3/9Carlisle2m 1fSoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle2/12- 1CerendipityJ: Jack PowerT: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith134-24FAge 910/310/37/2

Held his form well last season, landing the odds at Newcastle in March. Good second at Stratford on return but failed to jump with the same fluency when fourth of 6 at Wetherby and he took a heavy fall back there on Boxing Day (first time cheekpieces).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby2m 3f 85ySoft (Good to Soft in places)ChaseF/9Wetherby2m 3f 85ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/6Stratford-on-avon2m 3f 98yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/8Perth2m 7f 180yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase4/8Newcastle2m 4f 19yGoodChase3/7- 6Icare GrandchampJ: Caoilin QuinnT: Gary & Josh Moore/2131-5Age 86/16/113/2

Pair of wins at up to 21f in 2024. Off 13 months, shaped better than result when fifth of 9 in handicap at Newbury a month ago, closing and around 2 lengths behind eventual winner when blundered 2 out.

Reached the frame in maiden/novice hurdles last autumn but struggled switched to handicap company, including last month's Kelso reappearance. Already a better chaser, runner-up both starts at Catterick last month and no reason why he won't remain competitive.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCatterick Bridge2m 3f 51yGoodChase2/7Catterick Bridge2m 3f 51yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/7Kelso2m 4f 189yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/9Hexham2m 4f 28yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdlepu/10Wetherby2m 3f 154yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdlepu/9- 3SouthoftheborderJ: Charlie DeutschT: Henrietta C Knight4-45223Age 813/215/2

Point/bumper/hurdles winner who arrives in good nick in this sphere, third of 4 in handicap chase at Ascot (16.8f, good to soft) a month ago.

Successful Rules debut in a Hexham novice hurdle in October 2023 and also hit the target starting out over fences there on his reappearance last term. Struggled thereafter and didn't show enough on the back if another breathing op at Newcastle last month to seriously consider him.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle2m 4f 19yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase7/9Hexham2m 4f 15yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase5/6Musselburgh2m 4f 68yGood to SoftChasepu/7Ayr2m 4f 110ySoftChase5/6Kelso2m 5f 133yGood to SoftChase6/10- 9Dj PeteJ: Shane FenelonT: Sarah-Jayne Davies32-3F25Age 818/120/1
