18/1
Course winner who made an inauspicious return from 12 months off at Market Rasen in April, going in snatches and struggling when pulled up after 5 out. Reverts to hurdles.

7/4
Minor promise only in Ireland for Josh Halley but produced a much-improved effort fitted with first-time cheekpieces when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft) on yard debut 24 days ago. 6 lb rise fair and seems sure to be a major factor once again.

Merely ticking over at present, finishing sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Kelso (21f, good) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

4/1
Multiple hurdles scorer who shaped as if still in good form behind a younger, less-exposed pair when third in 8-runner handicap at Huntingdon (2m) 3 weeks ago, running on. Should go well again back up in trip.

12/1
Largely respectable efforts in handicaps during 2023/24 campaign but has gone with little promise all 4 starts since returning from 21 months off, including on the back of a breathing operation at Aintree latest.

Gelled well with this rider of late, cashing in on much-reduced mark at Market Rasen prior to following up over extended 18f last month. Denied the hat-trick back there last time but ran another solid race all the same.

Eighteen runs since last win in 2023 but ought to be sharper for his recent outing at Fontwell.

10/1
Wide-margin winner from only a 2 lb lower mark at Fakenham in June 2025. Sent off a well-backed favourite when failing to complete in latest renewal of that race. Remains of interest.

Forecasts

Fighting Falcon (7/4), Ruler Legend (3/1), Callin Baton Rouge (4/1), William Of York (17/2), Gone In Sixty (10/1), Golden Glance (12/1), Achille Des Rocs (18/1), Royal Rhythm (22/1)

Verdict

FIGHTING FALCON showed improved form when making a winning start for Stuart Edmunds in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter last month and, with the timefigure fully supporting the performance, he's selected to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights. Callin Baton Rouge and Gone In Sixty head the opposition.

  1. Fighting Falcon7/4
  2. Callin Baton Rouge4/1
  3. Gone In Sixty10/1
