Three-time handicap chase winner last season and back to best when making all at Plumpton (25.7f, good to soft) in November. Gave it a good shot when second in a 4-runner handicap dropped to 2m at Uttoxeter last time and she's fully effective over this intermediate trip. Big player.
|
Opened chase account over C&D last term and left reappearance behind in reapplied headgear when winning a 13-runner handicap at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) in December. However, a degree of caution is needed following an errant display at Windsor last time (refused and unseated rider).
|
Bumper and dual hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott. Wasn't disgraced on debut for new yard at Cheltenham but that was back in December 2023 and subsequent absence is cause for concern.
|
Doubled her tally over fences when winning a Market Rasen handicap in July 2023. However, she hasn't gone on from that effort since and was pulled up on her latest start on Boxing Day.
|
Reliable mare who resumed winning ways in a 7-runner handicap chase at Warwick in November and followed that with a creditable fourth in the Cheltenham contest won by Game On For Glory. Underperformed at Fakenham last time but her consistent profile offers hope that she will bounce back quickly.
|
Positive start over fences, finishing second on debut in this sphere at Warwick in November before scoring here (2m) and at Taunton (2¼m) in December. However, she appears to have gone off the boil since and remains 6 lb above her latest winning mark.
|
Better for return when capitalising on a much-reduced mark over fences at this course (23.8f, good to soft) in October. Creditable efforts in defeat back here the last twice and she will be a threat if the first-time cheekpieces help eke out a little more.
|
Winning start for Dan Skelton in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last summer but she's 0-9 for present yard and hasn't fired in 4 starts over fences to date. 19 lb 'wrong' at the weights.

Forecasts
Regal Renaissance (3/1), Current Mood (3/1), Sacre Coeur (4/1), Ostrava Du Berlais (9/2), Game On For Glory (9/2), Herewegohoney (16/1), River Robe (50/1), Happy D'ex (80/1)
The change of tactics probably didn't help REGAL RENAISSANCE at Fakenham and it would be no surprise whatsoever to see this consistent 7-y-o get back on track in what should be a strongly-run race. She gets the nod ahead of Sacre Coeur, who lost little caste in defeat at Uttoxeter and a reproduction of that effort would put her firmly in the picture. Current Mood also enters calculations.
- Sacre Coeur4/1
- Current Mood3/1
