Nine-time course winner, most recently when holding on gamely to make all off this mark last summer; looked out of sorts when pulled up on all three subsequent outings, though, and age may be catching up with him now. |

16th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Hurdle/chase winner for Brian Ellison; decent second in Newbury chase on stable debut (2m4f, good to soft) but well beaten at Southwell last time (3m, good); has run well at 3m; likely to be sharper for the run following a break. |

Hurdle/chase winner for Brian Ellison; no match for a progressive winner at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) but that was a positive start for this yard; unreliable in the past but if holding his form he could be the answer. |

11th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 5f 214y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Kept on for fair fourth behind Court At Slip at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) last month and could build on that run now back up in trip, having gone close over 4m at Hexham last March; capable of having a say. |

14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |

11yo who was well beaten on his comeback at Carlisle last month but he left last season's reappearance behind to go very close at Kelso (3m2f, heavy) next time, and he's on a competitive mark; blinkers are replaced by cheekpieces (ran well in them earlier in career); not discounted. |

29th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |

No longer the force of old but was ahead of Marshalled when close second at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) last month and ran well for a long way before tiring on run-in at Kelso (2m7f, good) 19 days ago; might be the answer. |

Veteran; C&D winner in 2021; having a good season, winning at Newcastle in January (2m7f, good to soft) and in the frame on his three runs since, last time when 9lb wrong; runs off his true mark here; could go well. |

Record of 1-20 over fences and was disappointing last time, but he was placed three times in a row here (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft) in the spring; had wind surgery since his last run and could be dangerous back at this track on his return; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Well below best form last season but last week's sixth at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) was a good step back in the right direction; should be fine over today's longer trip and might be boosted by a change of headgear. |

in touch with leaders on inner (trainer said, regarding the running of gelding here on going described as Good, having declared gelding a non-runner at Market Rasen on ground with the same official description, that in his opinion the going at Market Rasen was riding slower than ideal after rainfall) |

Standing dish here with all five career wins having come at the venue and on slow ground, including over this trip; produced one of his better efforts when second here last Boxing Day but not as good since; back on a very handy mark and can go well. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time course winner (2m3f/2m5f) who was second here on Boxing Day and has had excuses on both starts since, namely the 3m2f trip here then a different course (Market Rasen); could play a leading role back here. |
9/2 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
All five wins over fences have been at Sedgefield; didn't appear to get home there over 3m2f (good to soft) when seventh of nine finishers last month but best to wait until he returns to his favourite venue at a more suitable trip. |
11/2 |
Verdict
With the form of his win at Sedgefield in January having worked out really well, SON OF THE SOMME (nap) is taken to defy a 5lb rise and follow up. Massini Man has been in fine form since joining Sandy Thomson and is second choice, with Touch Kick and Tom Creen others who could run well.[Ben Hutton]
