Mark Nield Wealth Management Go North Red Rum Series Final Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Thorough stayer who capitalised on his steadily easing mark when defeating Heritier de Sivola at Ayr (3m) in February. That reopposing rival turned the tables on him at Hexham (3m, heavy) the following month but it was another good run.

Came good in December, winning at Newcastle (3m) and Wetherby (19.5f, heavy). Went close at Catterick (25f) in February and shaped as if still in form (all but came down 5 out) when fourth there since. Brian Hughes takes the ride.

Has upped his form since switched to chasing, making it 4 wins (including C&D) in his last 5 starts when seeing off 4 rivals over 4m at Hexham last month. Did that cosily and a further 4 lb rise seems unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.

Won the Monets Garden series final on this card a year ago and he bounced back to form with a bang to score over this C&D last month. On an identical mark to 12 months ago and yet another who has to enter the reckoning.

Won twice from out of the blue last season but pulled up in 2 comeback outings last month. A first-time tongue tied (added to a refitted visor) needs to spark a major upturn in his fortunes.

Winning hurdler who has really got his act together in this sphere with the aid of cheekpieces, completing a quick hat-trick when edging out the reopposing Camp Belan at Hexham (3m, heavy) 16 days ago. Only another 4 lb higher.

Won the Monet's Garden on this card in 2022 but that was his last success. He's been very consistent in defeat this season but the suspicion is that wait for a next win will go on.

Veteran who added to his tally at Catterick on New Year's Day but has found life tougher off higher marks in his 3 outings since.

Arrives in good order, finally getting off the mark over fences at Haydock last weekend, albeit this suspect jumper was undoubtedly helped by all the fences in the home straight being omitted due to a low sun. Worth opposing off 5 lb higher in this very competitive race.

Hurdle winner but yet to get his head in front over the larger obstacles. Chased home Breeze of Wind over a marathon trip at Hexham last month but only a remote fourth to Heritier de Sivola there since.

Having gone close at Musselburgh in January he finally got off the mark at Sedgefield (27f, heavy) in January. Below par at Wetherby since and 5 lb out of the weights here so Uptown Harry looks the stable's main hope.
