Gold For Alec

10st 2lb

J: Ned Fox

T: Tom Symonds

A marked step up in trip saw him emerge from the wilderness to win five-runner handicap at Hereford (extended 3m1f, good) last month and he did it comfortably, but he's 10lb higher today (4lb out of the handicap) against far more daunting opposition.

11st 3lb

J: Ben Poste

T: Tom Symonds

Both wins were at Huntingdon in winter 2024-25; ran well at Cheltenham (2m) in October but has had a bleak time of it since until something of an upturn at Chepstow (extended 2m3f) two weeks ago; needs to build on that and there was some encouragement last time for stepping up in trip.

Ran well in defeat on his reappearance but nowhere near as effective in his last four races; the cheekpieces tried last time are removed.

J: Ben Poste

T: Tom Symonds

7lb higher than for last year's win in this race but that was by 6l and was placed off 1lb higher at Cheltenham in October; poor in his last three races, though the last two were over fences; possibilities if back on song in new cheekpieces.
