8 yo Gelding

OR: 97

Form & Verdict
Course winner who looked rusty after five months off (also without usual headgear) when eighth in 2m1f Cartmel handicap 44 days ago; he's well worth considering in refitted cheekpieces off a 3lb lower mark.

Form & Verdict
Bounced back to form in some style on his yard debut (formerly with Rebecca Menzies) when wide-margin winner over C&D eight days ago; holds leading claims if backing that up under a 7lb penalty but he has proved unreliable in the past.

Course winner but it's now 16 starts since his last victory and he came in a remote fifth of seven over C&D on Boxing Day; he's not one to rely on.

Last win was at Cartmel in August 2024 (2m1f, soft); best run since when third over same C&D in July (good); bit disappointing last twice, but no surprise if he were to run well.

Form & Verdict
Scored over C&D in February and in good form until coming in only sixth in 2m1f Bangor handicap chase in April; he's the sort to bounce back, so can't be discounted on his return.

Lightly raced and generally disappointing since spring 2024, having been in a few different yards, but shaped quite well on debut for latest new trainer, in recent 2m1f hurdle, and reverts to chasing on tempting mark.

A fair winning chaser (at up to 2m3f) for Stuart Coltherd but he came in last of 17 back hurdling at Doncaster (3m) on his final run for Rebecca Menzies in January; he starts out for another new yard now with plenty to prove.

Gained her breakthrough success in 2m1f handicap chase at Market Rasen in June, making all; up 6lb but she's still relatively unexposed over fences so merits serious consideration.

Dual chase winner last season, latterly off today's mark here (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; not in same form when well-held third at Market Rasen last month, though, and this switch back to hurdling is not ideal.

Four chase wins, the latest off today's mark in this race a year ago (good ground); absent since some below-par efforts on slower-than-ideal ground towards end of 2025 and not getting any younger but booking of Sean Bowen drops strong hint he'll be primed for a bold defence.

Only ever a winner between April and July, but one of only two previous visits here netted him a C&D success off 15lb higher and he's got the trip and ground that suit once again; certainly respected.
