25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Hasn't got a lot going in his previous four chases but well handicapped on some of his hurdle form and didn't run too badly in that discipline last time. |
6/1 |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Very opposable on this season's exploits but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and this 6yo could stage a revival at some point; worth checking the betting. |
14/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made disappointing start to chasing career this season (three attempts) and reverted to hurdling with a heavy defeat and a fall last month; lurks on a good mark but needs to turn a corner. |

20th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who was close up in the second of two handicap hurdles (2m3f, good) but was poised to better that by some way when misjudging the second last and coming down on his chase debut at Bangor (2m1f, soft) 22 days ago; major player if none the worse. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
1-5 over fences; bumped into a handicap blot when 14l second at Newbury (extended 2m7f, heavy) and early mistakes/interference had him on the back foot when only 11-1 for the Ultima at Cheltenham (4lb out of the weights); with trip/ground fine, he can go well here. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Kept on for creditable fourth of five in novice chase here (2m4f, good) in January when up against it at the weights and he may have bumped into a handicap blot when 14l second at Newbury (extended 2m7f, heavy) last month; this unexposed 6yo is not ruled out each-way, despite being 4lb wrong. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
This looks stronger than the 2m4f handicap chase he won here (good to soft; fine on soft) in December off 5lb lower but he ran well in the face of a stiff task at the weights at Cheltenham a month ago; each-way claims back up in trip. |
4/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Yet to finish off a race especially strongly, including when a 50l last of seven on last month's C&D return (good); latest 5lb drop isn't sufficiently persuasive. |
66/1 |

7th 8 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Hard to make a case after finishing tailed off when 40-1 for his handicap debut (2m3f, soft; first-time tongue-tie); did show a smidgeon of promise on good ground last year but he's unconvincing. |
25/1 |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Pulled up on both appearances, more recently when 500-1 for C&D maiden (good) 12 days ago. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
In excellent hands but has failed to progress from her Fakenham win last November; well beaten at Worcester (14-1) on handicap/seasonal debut; something to prove. |
12/1 |

20th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Didn't show much here on debut before winning easily at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) when Circle Of Hope was well behind; this is clearly much easier than her latest Listed assignment at Aintree where the ground was heavy; not the easiest to assess and she does have a penalty. |
5/1 |
Verdict
Skelton filly VIRGINIA LODGE is preferred to Summer Night City among the two last-time-out winners but beating so few rivals has to cool enthusiasm somewhat for both of them. A close look is therefore recommended for Knight Of Allen, who made such a brief appearance in a Grade 2 on his debut, and on the newcomer Copernic Du Mazet.[Richard Austen]
