5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Completed on all three attempts over these fences, easily best of those efforts when close fourth in last season's Topham (2m5f, soft); has twice won well over about 3m/3m1f, including in November on sole start this term, but today's trip is a leap in the dark and this 13yo has easily his highest mark. |

Front-runner who hasn't been at his best this term and was a 12l third behind two of these at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) last time; however, he deserves credit for that performance having set a strong pace and he continues to drop down the weights; every chance he'll make a bold bid. |

Front-runner; well handicapped on some of last season's form but failed to build upon his satisfactory reappearance run when well held at Newbury last month; needs to get back in the groove. |

Performed well in good hunter chases either side of taking a notable scalp in an open point win in February, and was still going okay before falling at third-last fence at last month's Cheltenham Festival; may not be ideally suited by today's faster ground but still commands respect in these much calmer waters. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A five-time chase winner, he has adapted well since returning to hurdles in cheekpieces, making all at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in June and Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month (fell when holding a clear advantage in between); has a big penalty but will be difficult to keep tabs on. |

Five-time chase winner who faced a simple task when opening his account in this discipline over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) this month; has more on his plate under a penalty in this deeper race but he's respected nonetheless. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
For a long time he plied his trade over much shorter distances; it was his first run beyond 2m6f when winning a 3m1f handicap at Plumpton in January and he followed up in their Sussex National over 3m4f (again soft); it was likeable in how he wanted that so badly and all of a sudden he's a young stayer on the upgrade; needs respecting off his light weight. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Ended a run of non-completions when finishing fifth of seven over C&D last time (Presenting Yeats behind); although that was an improved effort, it did appear to stretch his stamina; much more required again from out of the weights. |
50/1 |

13th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Yet to add to his French chase win in 2022 and was pulled up three consecutive times before contesting a truncated/void race last time; very unexposed over this sort of trip but remains difficult to enthuse over. |

Verdict
Celebre D’Allen is reunited with Elizabeth Gale who was aboard for his last win and he arrives here after a sterling effort in the Topham. He is greatly feared along with Invincible Nao, but PEPE LE MOKO was unfortunate not to be closer last time at Kempton and he went into that race on a sharp upward curve.[Alistair Jones]
