26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Four-time hurdle winner and career-best form to win by 10l at Fontwell two runs ago (2m5f, good to soft); went up 8lb for that and was back down to earth on his return visit when beaten 20l; hard to know entirely what to expect from him. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who rewarded good market support and showed career-best form when drawing clear to score by 10l here (2m5f, good to soft) in March; 8lb rise asks a fair bit of him but the forecast faster ground should not be a problem. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four Flat wins and three over hurdles; has yet to win this season over jumps but two of his three placed efforts came here and he's likely to be a strong contender, for all that last two runs (hurdle/AW) weren't his best. |

Took big step back in right direction and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when fifth at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March, but was generally very disappointing last season; others have more appealing profiles. |

Suited by slow ground and was runner-up over 2m at Chepstow and Newbury in the summer but his form nosedived at Ffos Las last month; has something to prove again after that and he's an infrequent winner. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |

Eight-time winner here (Flat and jumps) who has been running respectably over further at this venue since November; drop back in trip asks a question but he's impossible to rule out. |
7/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Prolific winner who arrives seeking a hat-trick, after winning over C&D (soft) and 1m6f (good) here this month; back up a total of 7lb so this looks a tougher assignment but still has pretty strong claims. |

27th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Career-best performance when clearcut winner on seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m4f, soft) last month; didn't run badly off new mark a fortnight ago and will be fine over today's trip, but the quicker ground may not be ideal. |
5/1 |

12th May 2023 Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |

Justified favouritism in similar event under Kaiya Fraser at Ponftefract (1m4f, soft) on seasonal debut and that career-best form has received a few boosts since; still unexposed at this trip (was campaigned mainly over further last season) and may well improve again; strong contender. |

This Flat winner showed some aptitude for hurdling when third in two novice events at Worcester (2m, good) in the summer; should stay this longer trip and may have some untapped potential on handicap debut. |

Verdict
The classy but rather dour staying hurdler Main Fact made a promising return 12 days ago from his long layoff. He was nowhere near the front line, beaten 18l by the winner Tin Fandango, but that Newbury run could have blown away a lot of cobwebs and the Pipe 9yo might just reverse the placings. However, an interesting alternative option is CLARITUDO, who is the only 3yo in the field and has unfinished business at this trip.[Richard Austen]
