7/1
Dual point winner and took a maiden hunter at Hexham (3m) last May. Returned from a break to finish a good second in 3m handicap at Wetherby (soft) in November but has failed to reproduce that form since, pulling up latest.

Has thrived since going chasing, winning 4 times (all under Brian Hughes), including over C&D in November/December. Respectable fifth at Carlisle since and much respected back here.

Three good in-frame efforts since a breathing operation, finishing third of 12 in a competitive race at Huntingdon (3m, soft) latest. This looks easier.

4/1
Has won 4 of his last 6 completed starts but his latest Fontwell chase debut success came in a weak race and there's a suspicion he might be worth opposing off 7 lb higher now.

Veteran who hit the target twice over fences in 2025 but his run of good form has come to a halt the last twice.

Back to form with a bang to win a 3m Ayr handicap under Oran McGill 4 weeks ago. Should remain competitive off 4 lb higher.

Forecasts

Realisation (2/1), Upfordebate (5/2), Alright Dai (4/1), Le Grand Vert (5/1), Great Notions (7/1), Ribeye (33/1)

Verdict

This looks a bit easier than the races REALISATION has placed in on her last 2 starts and she can deny Upfordebate a third C&D success of the season.
