11st 2lb |
Dual course winner on slow ground last season (2m5f/3m2f); not quite at best on two starts this term and was behind Record High when fourth here on Boxing Day but has possibilities if perked up by change of headgear. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Bettered poor seasonal debut when third over C&D (good to soft; 8l behind Anytrixwilldo) in refitted blinkers in January, but he ought to have been suited by the heavy ground when pulled up at Ffos Las on Friday and has become far too unreliable. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Has become well handicapped and finally completed again when a 12l third at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); could build on that with yard having winners again. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |

No better for the 279-day break when registering yet another pulling up last month, despite having his preferred 3m on slow ground; 9lb below his one British winning mark now but hard to warm to; blinkers return. |

10st 7lb |
Won off this mark at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last April and has run well over this C&D; however, she's struggled to get competitive this season and first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to prompt a revival. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has returned to form of late and gained his fifth chase success, at Ffos Las (3m, good) last month; there was no disgrace in finishing second to a resurgent Tommy Beau at Fakenham (3m5f, good) this month and he holds strong claims while in this form. |

2nd 9 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Revitalised 9yo who won stylishly on good ground over C&D and at Ffos Las (3m) last month; contests a much stronger race today but still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood. |

In-form 9yo who won four-runner marathon at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in pretty good style last week; also very well suited by this C&D and ground slower than good; respected under 7lb penalty. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

Runner-up at Southwell last April but a long way below that level on his three runs since and this 11yo's sole win came back in November 2023. |
20/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Very inconsistent 10yo who sometimes races lazily and is never easy to predict; comes here fresh and on career-low mark but has presumably been overlooked by Sean Bowen today and cannot be supported with much confidence; versatile ground-wise. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 |
7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

3lb out of the weights; kept on for second at Southwell three weeks ago (3m, good) but this 10yo is hard to predict. |
6/1 |
Verdict
Venetia Williams is firmly among the winners and HAUT FOLIN, who made a winning reappearance over C&D last season, is taken to do the same today now 4lb lower. Captain Claude did well during last season’s first chasing campaign and could be the main danger ahead of Twilight Glory.[Ben Hutton]
