Thirty three runs since his last win in 2023 and only sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 17/2) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip with work to do.

6/1
Course scorer who was forced wide when a solid sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 32 days ago. Can race off a 2 lb lower mark now so he's a likely player for yard among the winners.

Long-standing maiden. Below form fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (16f, soft) 14 days ago. Weighted to go well back in this sphere.

Twelve runs since last win in 2025. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 8 days ago, needing stronger gallop. In the mix.

Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW, 9/2) 32 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Can give a good account in a bid for her breakthrough victory.

Still a maiden but she comes here on the back of a good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 18 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.

Forecasts

Marinakis (10/3), Thundering Breeze (7/2), Sisterandbrother (9/2), Night Bear (6/1), Saxon Kingdom (15/2), Trusty Scout (17/2), Harswell Duke (11/1), Queen Sansa (14/1), Alvesta (25/1), Duchess (28/1), Karismatique (80/1)

Verdict

Tony Carroll has his string in great nick so his veteran course winner NIGHT BEAR is fancied to end a losing run having not enjoyed the rub of the green when sixth at Lingfield last time out. Alvesta is weighted to go well back in this sphere so could emerge as the chief threat, although Queen Sansa, Thundering Breeze and Trusty Scout all need factoring into this open handicap too.
