11st 2lb |
Either or both the class 2 company and drop back to 3m compromised him in Uttoxeter's Summer Cup latest (blinkers debuted there retained); untried over today's even shorter trip since November 2023 and over hurdles for longer still, so hard to see how this assignment plays to many strengths. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Stays well, as his two performances over 3m4f at Haydock attest; finished well for second over 3m1f at Aintree (good) most recently; not crying out for this drop back to 3m but may be aided by new headgear; represents last year's winning yard. |

2nd 6 |
15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Has had three wind operations and tends to go well when fresh, so might not improve markedly on his latest second at Haydock (3m4f, good) after 144 days away; still ran well though and assured stamina will come in handy. |

10st 2lb |
Made a successful chasing debut at Southwell (3m2f) for Charles and Adam Pogson but off 14 months before being pulled up there for his new yard 24 days ago; blinkers are quickly reached for. |

jumped left on occasions, prominent, mistake and lost ground 6th, weakened before 15th, tailed off when pulled up after 4 out |

17th Dec 2023 Soft 3m 1f 185y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
First and third in good-ground handicap hurdles earlier this year before struggling under softer conditions; the ground is therefore a worry and he goes without the cheekpieces that were working well. |

Verdict
Regarde has the advantage of proven fitness and form but the race he won at Huntingdon didn’t seem to amount to much. Dual course winner BRANDISOVA can make her ability around here pay dividends.[Jonathan Neesom]
