10th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual course winner in 2022 (2m4f/2m6f) but has regressed and become inconsistent; didn't run badly in selling hurdle on Boxing Day (first-time blinkers) and is versatile regarding ground but younger rivals appeal more. |
10/1 |

26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won two handicap chases in March 2022 (2m4f, good/good to soft); some fair efforts over fences without winning since but below par after a break the last twice (beaten 34l at Hereford ten days ago); new headgear; looks stable second string. |

16th Dec 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time chase winner who nearly made it four at Huntingdon in May (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces); bled when pulled up back there next time; effective in the reapplied cheekpieces and has a big run in him. |

15th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
In good form last spring, most notably when scoring by 8l off today's mark at Uttoxeter (3m, soft), but he returned from a layoff with three disappointing runs in December/January; had another wind op (his third) during latest 12-week break and needs to get his career back on track. |

Off the mark at the 19th attempt at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) last May and did it in good style; however, he was pulled up/soundly beaten on his two outings last month and is hard to fancy on the back of those. |

2m4f chase winner (soft) who has gone close when on this mark; returned from a break to equal his career-best form over C&D latest; drops 1lb; may be able to eke out a bit more; player. |

6th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Won a novices' handicap chase at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) in December; went close in his follow-up bid at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) later that month but his form slumped at Leicester in January; has bit to prove again after that and others are preferred. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Battled on well to open chasing account at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in June and ran at least as well when close third there (3m2f, soft) last month; not sure to benefit from today's drop back in trip but still respected. |
4/1 |

17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up at Warwick (3m, good) in April, and toughed it out when deservedly off the mark over fences here (3m; beating Jean Genie by half a length) last month; 5lb higher - 1lb worse off with the runner-up - but should give another decent account. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Seemed to have got his act together over fences when creditable second of 15 at Warwick (3m, good) in April but was slightly disappointing when only fourth here (2m5f, good to soft) last month and today's forecast rain is not in his favour; others preferred. |

3m winner here in late 2022 when a stone higher in the weights; a series of disappointing runs followed and now he's hard to trust; tried cheekpieces and a tongue-tie during that time and now goes in a visor. |

Won at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) last November and well treated on that form; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and he's been pulled up the last twice; plenty to prove. |

6th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Without a win since 2023 but was placed in three chases last season and continues to edge down the weights; beaten about 20l when third at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) on latest outing in March but this slightly shorter trip may suit him better; considered each-way. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five chase wins, including 2023 edition of this race; pulled up at Fakenham two starts ago but his other three runs this year were very respectable; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; likely to give this a good shot from the front. |

A win and (in this race) a half-length second, each off 2lb lower, to show from two C&D visits (good) last summer; plenty in his favour again once more, though a Fakenham flop latest needs forgiving. |

Verdict
The key race could be the Warwick chase won by Supasunrise and in which MILTIADES looked as though he would finish closer until weakening late on (eased on the run-in). The winner had a hard race and the selection is not without hope of reversing those placings. Cloudy Wednesday is preferred of the remainder.[Alistair Jones]
