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. |

2nd 6 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Has had three wind operations, two of them last year; won four-runner race over C&D (good) when upped in trip last March and ran creditably on next two starts; not disgraced at Ascot in November when last seen; has a good record when returning from a break, so goes on the shortlist. |

11st 9lb |
Won twice (3m/3m4f) during fairly light campaign last season and signed off with creditable second of 14 on New course here (3m4f, good) in April, form that was recently boosted by the winner; had another wind op (his third) during the summer; likely contender. |

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. |

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. |
12/1 |

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]
