13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Winless away from galloping tracks, but recorded some of his best RPRs in Graded chases around Kempton and the Mildmay Course; still capable of fairly useful form little more than a year ago, and right in the mix if racing more sparingly with the hood debuted latest quickly discarded. |

Has made the frame in a couple of points this winter for new yard; fairly useful for previous stable and, accordingly, is one of the main players on ratings in this hunter chase debut; hood applied. |

11st 12lb |
Narrow winner at Carlisle in April (2m3.5f, good; second had won two previous races); has not fared quite as well since, including with a visor tried at Uttoxeter last time; regular cheekpieces back on here but he needs to bounce back now back up in trip (stays 3m well). |

2m3f success at Carlisle in April (good), his fifth career win; not at his best the last twice and a visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Looked very good when winning at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) in October 2021; unable to reproduce that promise since but his recent 14l third at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft) wasn't devoid of promise and this longer trip may be a plus; continues to drop down the weights and he's an each-way possible. |

Bumper/hurdle/chase winner; didn't run up to his best over fences last year (pulled up last two starts); better ground will suit and well handicapped, but plenty to prove. |

5-17 over fences but his latest win was May 2023 and last year went badly; often wears hood or cheekpieces and now tries a visor. |

2m1f hurdle winner in France and he was placed in Listed hurdle events (2m3f, soft/heavy) in his final two runs there in the spring; has some chasing experience and he needs a close look back over fences on his British/stable debut. |

11st 2lb |
Point winner who looked promising when landing a novice hurdle at Warwick (2m5f, soft) in February 2021; first-fence faller at Uttoxeter last month when back from a long absence and he may have needed the run when back over hurdles at Chepstow three weeks ago (tailed off); in top hands and has a first-time tongue-tie, but nevertheless has plenty to prove. |

3rd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |

Looked very promising during two-race novice hurdle campaign in 2020-21 but wasn't seen again until falling at first fence on last month's chase/handicap debut; quickly switched back to hurdling here and remains unexposed but not an easy horse to weigh up at present. |

Moved to this yard last season and won three in a row towards the end of last year (2m4f/3m, good to soft/soft); disappointing subsequently but perhaps a break will have helped and he's down to a handy mark; interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |

Verdict
Not an easy puzzle to solve given that the majority are making their chase debut and reappearance but it’s a very interesting contest. Gloire D’Athon is one who definitely arrives in form and has proven he can do it over fences so he’s not opposed lightly but BOWTOGREATNESS quickly reached a useful level over hurdles last winter and appeals as one to go on to even better things over fences, particularly given his stable has enjoyed such a good first half of the season.
