4YO plus | Class 6 | 1m 4f 51y | 8 Runners | Allweather

(2)

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Jason Watson| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 48| CD

Bagged a third C&D success in 7-runner handicap 8 days ago. Well in the mix at these weights back in classified company.

Form: 3254-51

(1)

Alex The Great³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46

Twelve runs since last win in 2025. 20/1 and visored for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 31 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 700-887

(8)

Another Beautiful^t,p⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 50

Eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 66/1) 65 days ago. Has work to do if she's to gain a maiden victory here.

Form: 7350/9-8

(5)

Gemini Man¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: I Jardine| OR: 49| C

Fit from hurdling when resuming winning ways in 9-runner classified event here (9.5f) 15 days ago when overcoming a pace bias. Big shout on these terms.

Form: 41225-1

(7)

Muhib²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 44

Remains a maiden after 17 runs but better signs when fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 23 days ago. Can't be ruled out.

Form: 940-094

(4)

Prince Hector^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 48| CD

Took this 12 months ago and not disgraced in first-time blinkers when fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 9/1) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly now back up in trip in his follow-up bid.

Form: 55-2925

(6)

Saachi³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 45

Remains winless and he came in a below-par sixth in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f) 37 days ago. More is needed back in this sphere.

Form: 05345-4

(3)

My O My^b1⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: S Lycett| OR: 48

Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 28/1) 55 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers are reached for with lots to prove.

Form: 0/600-0

Forecasts

Gemini Man (5/2), Virtual Hug (11/4), Another Beautiful (4/1), Prince Hector (6/1), Saachi (12/1), Alex The Great (14/1), My O My (14/1), Muhib (16/1)

GEMINI MAN did well to overcome a steady pace when back to winning ways in similar company here last time out and is favoured at these weights too so looks very much the way to go. Last year's victor Prince Hector should ensure Iain Jardine's 8-y-o doesn't have things all his own way, however. Three-time C&D scorer Virtual Hug can also have a say.
