If he's to make the breakthrough it will probably be over fences (0-9; three seconds) but he wasn't pulling up any trees when last seen in the spring. |

Disappointing 7yo who has been soundly beaten in three chases this year and now reverts to hurdling; usual cheekpieces left off today; needs to turn a corner. |

C&D winner in May on his second start for James Owen and was holding his form until heavy defeats in his final two races; now on a recovery mission. |

3rd 2 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Scored at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in May, his second start for James Owen, and ran big race when clear second to thriving opponent at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) in June; needs to bounce back from last month's duff effort at Market Rasen but still features prominently in calculations. |

Looked a hard ride when second at Bangor (3m, good) but travelled sweeter with the blinkers back on at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) and just missed out; nudged up another 3lb but has to be respected. |

11st 8lb |
Carlisle specialist; sits close to a career-high mark following a gritty win there (2m, good to soft) in February; "never travelling and jumped poorly" in the Monet's Garden Series Final there three weeks ago; bit to prove for the time being, even acknowledging a 2024 C&D win. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |

Record of 6-10 over fences at Carlisle features wins in this race last year (on good ground) and latest outing (2m); on a career-high mark but commands major respect kept to this venue. |

Won here (2m4f, good) in October and followed up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft); below par at Newcastle and Wetherby since and arrives with something to prove, but he's back on his last winning mark and ten visits to Carlisle have yielded five wins (various ground); not ruled out now back here. |

12st 6lb |
Three-time winner over fences for James Ewart (2m-2m4f) but he didn't get going for Olly Murphy and it's been a similar story in two points and a hunter chase (all about 3m) for these connections; the drop back in trip might help, though. |

3rd 2 |
2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Has folded in a couple of points for new yard and his record over 3m remains far from solid; yet to win beyond 2m4f and faces a stiff task at the weights; hunter chase debut. |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |

Did well over fences for James Ewart but a beaten favourite in both his runs for Olly Murphy (2m/2m2f handicap chases) and currently has a bit to prove; does stay this far so stamina will be no excuse. |

Ran better than finishing position suggests when fifth of seven in first-time blinkers at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) in August but was quickly back in the doldrums over C&D last month and can't be relied upon. |

Returned to form in new blinkers at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) last month, where he finished only fifth of seven but was right in the thick of things until fading after the last fence; still on a good mark; shortlisted. |

In-form 8yo who scored at Bangor (3m, good) last month and is now 2-3 since cheekpieces were refitted in April; back up to his career-high mark today but still respected in current mood. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |

It was effectively a 0-125 in which he was a solid fourth at Uttoxeter last time, and he's back at the same easier level as his win at Kelso (2m7f, good) previously; chance. |

Yet to win over fences; fair run having had a wind op at Doncaster last time (3m, soft) and could go well off his current good mark. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |

Runner-up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last May and runs off 8lb lower today; however, he struggled on his four starts towards the end of last year; major turnaround required on first run since wind surgery. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 198y Class 3 |

Stuck to his task very well when second at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in May but that took his record over fences to 0-7 and he may find this race too competitive; returns without the cheekpieces worn in his three previous races. |

Verdict
Drying ground would suit Rajjamataz, while C&D winner Hello Judge (second choice) is probably best forgiven a below-par last run, but the most appealing option is the four-time Newcastle scorer SIX ONE NINE (nap) who shaped as if needing his reappearance and is just 1lb above his last winning mark. Micky Hammond’s fine record in this race makes Halpha Soleil worthy of a second look.[Richard O’Brien]
