Makin'yourmindup (G)
Useful sort who won back-to-back 3m Newbury handicaps in early 2024. Off 20 months, left the impression he needed the run when remote fourth in Welsh National trail at Chepstow, considerately handled on first start since a wind op. Ability…

Art Decco (G)
[P]
Reliable/game sort enhanced his fine strike-rate over fences when taking the Devon National at Exeter (30.7f) in February and better than ever when successful over same C&D on second start this season. Has earned a crack at this but would …

Surrey Quest (G)
[TP]
Useful staying chaser, including runner-up in 2024 Scottish Grand National. Down-the-field in three starts over hurdles this season but has fallen to a workable mark back over fences and interesting to see if market expects better followin…

Val Dancer (G)
[P]
Straightforward type who was successful in 2024 Welsh National at Chepstow and seemingly as good as ever when third in the Becher at Aintree (25.9f) last time. Stamina very much his forte and will be benefit from a return to marathon trip …

Whistle Stop Tour (G)

Progressed when winning back-to-back handicap chases at Kelso and Ayr (both at around 3m on deep ground) last season. More miss than hit since, but ran creditably when third over hurdles at Ayr latest and could benefit from more extreme te…

Hidden History (G)

Point winner justified support to win strong Uttoxeter handicap hurdle in March and progressed again to make successful chase debut in 5-runner novice handicap at Aintree (25f) on return. Disappointed at Sandown subsequently but has been f…

Regal Blue (G)
[P1]
Strong stayer when in the mood (won pair of small field handicaps in 2024) but underlined his unpredictability when pulling up on both starts last season. Remains to be seen if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect returning from …

Aworkinprogress (G)
Made seamless progress in handicaps last season (landing hat-trick here) and improved again when making it five wins on the bounce at Uttoxeter (26f, heavy) on reappearance. Never going with usual fluency in better race at Chepstow latest …

Ivane (G)

3-time winner this season, the latest at Sedgefield in October. Has still run creditably off higher marks since, jumping better than on his previous two starts when clear runner-up in Lincoln National at Market Rasen (27.6f) on Boxing Day.…

My Silver Lining (M)
Course winner has plenty of credible form over extreme distances, winning Classic Chase at Warwick in 2024. Has proved more consistent this season, no match for a progressive one when runner-up in the Tommy Whittle at Haydock (25.6f) last …

Sporting Ace (G)
Bounced back to form to win this race in 2025. Hasn't shown much spark in trio of starts this season but is now 1 lb lower than when successful here last year. Worth a check to see if the market hints a resurgence.

Ali Star Bert (G)
10-y-o has bounced back to form over the winter, enhancing his fine record at Southwell when winning 3m handicaps there in November (beating pair of subsequent winners) and December. This is tougher and he'll need a career-best to land the…
