Mark Nield Wealth Management Go North One Man Series Final Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

5YO plus | Class 2 | 1m 7f 207y | 12 Runners | Turf

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 123| CD

Dual winner over fences last season including on final start over C&D. Seemingly back to best when resuming winning ways in small field at Sedgefield (2m) 4 weeks ago. That race rather fell apart though and revised mark demands more.

Form: 21-35U1

Great Pepper⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Charlotte Jones| T: James Moffatt| OR: 118

9/1

Dual hurdles winner who has posted his best 2 efforts over fences at this trip, including when runner-up at Ayr (2m) in January. Remains lightly raced for his age and interesting if he can build on that now.

Form: P/3-PU62

Spadestep^t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 117| BF| D

9/2

Point/hurdles winner who has found only one too good all 4 starts over fences, strong at the line and likely to have pushed winner closer but for a jolting error last at Newcastle (2m) 4 weeks back. Well worth considering from 1 lb higher mark.

Form: 2-12222

Marty Mcfly^t,p¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny McMenamin| T: A M Thomson| OR: 112| D

4/1

Thrived for switch to larger obstacles this season, taking his record to 4-7 when drawing clear of 4 rivals at Catterick (15.6f) 18 days ago. Versatile sort who is fancied to hold his own from career high mark now upped in class.

Form: P74111

Dance Thief¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 109| D

15/2

Hurdles winner who had fallen back down to last successful mark and he capitalised to double his chase tally at Ayr (2m) 2 weeks ago (all 3 victories gained there). However, more needed up 3 lb in what is a much stronger affair.

Form: 233-5P1

O'Faolains Glory⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 108

9/1

Ended 2025 on a high, registering back-to-back victories at Musselburgh (2½m). Shaped as if still in good form when fourth from career high mark over hurdles there 7 weeks ago but she needs to pull out even more to land this prize.

Form: 22P114

Flash Du Pistolet^p1²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: W Coltherd| OR: 103

16/1

Enthusiastic sort who tasted success twice at up to 2½m this time last year. Better for reappearance when second at Ayr in February prior to seemingly finding step back up in trip on soft ground too much at Wetherby 24 days ago. Better anticipated with cheekpieces now fitted.

Form: 11P-525

Raffles Wonder^t⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies| OR: 103| CD

9/1

Impressive when successful from 2 lb lower mark in this race 12 months ago and encouraging he posted easily his best effort since when fourth at Sedgefield (2m) last month. Feasible to think this has been his target.

Form: 411-6P4

Too Cool Forshrule³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Dylan Johnston| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 99

15/2

Unseated on penultimate start but jumped fine up with the pace when registering a third chase success at Sedgefield (21f) 4 weeks ago, taking over between last 2. Probably needs to pull out more from revised mark back down to the minimum trip.

Form: 1653U1

Cuzco Du Mathan^v¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Leah Noreci⁽¹⁰⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 99

20/1

Stepped up appreciably on his comeback run over further here last month despite not beating a rival when fourth behind Dance Thief at Ayr (2m) 2 weeks ago. Finds himself on a potentially lenient mark but probably of more interest at Cartmel.

Form: 474764

Tanking Along^t,p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: P Neville| OR: 98| D

11/2

Improved model equipped with cheekpieces/tongue tie, shedding maiden tag over hurdles in November and back to form after a break when scoring over fences at Sedgefield (2m) 12 days ago, making all. Not ruled out from 6 lb higher.

Form: 5-62141

Powerofjet¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: M Todhunter| OR: 97| C| D

14/1

Fair hurdles winner last spring who had clearly learnt from his chase debut experience when getting off the mark at Newcastle (2m) in November. Hasn't really built on that in 2 subsequent runs, however (well behind Tanking Along at Sedgefield a fortnight ago).

Form: 14-3143

Forecasts

Coup De Coeur (9/2), Spadestep (11/2), Dance Thief (6/1), Great Pepper (13/2), Tanking Along (15/2), Too Cool Forshrule (15/2), Marty Mcfly (15/2), O'Faolains Glory (12/1), Powerofjet (12/1), Flash Du Pistolet (20/1), Raffles Wonder (20/1), Cuzco Du Mathan (25/1)

SPADESTEP has found only one too good on each of his 4 starts over fences to date, yet he surely won't be long in going one better judged on his strong finishing display for the latest of them at Newcastle 4 weeks ago and he could be the way to go. Marty McFly continues to progress in this sphere and is feared, along with Sedgefield scorer Coup de Coeur. Last year's winner Raffles Wonder and Dance Thief complete the shortlist.
