All Weather Championship Is Back Handicap (Div 1)

3YO plus | Class 4 | 7f 36y | 9 Runners | Allweather

(7)

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 81| D

Placed 3 times in 2025 but not seen to best effect either start so far this year, blindfold removed late when tailed-off last of 10 at Haydock in May. Handicapper drops him 2 lb and he remains relatively lightly raced for his age now returning from 6 months off.

Form: 6933-80

The Dragon King²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 80| CD

C&D winner who got back to form when 2 lengths second of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (7f) in June. Below best on final start for Clive Cox a month later but possible he'll sharpen up for his first run for new stable here 4 weeks ago and he's 2 lb below his last winning mark.

Montezin^p,t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 79| D

Low-mileage 4-y-o who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests at Haydock on his penultimate start and he quickly got back on the up when adding to his tally over this trip at Southwell (7f) 25 days ago. Compiling a very solid record on all-weather and he's of firm interest again.

Two Commanders⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: E Bethell| OR: 80| BF| D

Progressive son of Mohaather who resumed progress after 6 weeks off when landing 10-runner handicap at Musselburgh over this trip in August. Raced closer to the pace than ideal when fifth at Chester (7f, soft) a month later and he's well worth another chance making all-weather debut.

Commander Of Life²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 77| C| D

Consistent sort who deservedly capitalised on drop in grade when opening his account for the season at Doncaster (7f) in July. Excuses here next time and should bounce back from a rare below-par display at Newmarket (7f) 24 days ago.

Chantelle¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 78| CD

Started 2-2 in fillies novices over C&D last winter and has proved admirably consistent in defeat since, doing well under the circumstances given her poor position when third in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. Looks up to defying this sort of mark on that evidence.

Form: 235243

Reciprocated^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D Loughnane| OR: 77

Didn't kick on from a highly promising start as a 2-y-o for Karl Burke but fallen plenty in weights and better signs for new yard when staying on for fifth of 12 in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. Mark has eased a little more ahead of this and an even bigger revival could be on the cards before long.

Form: 000065

Enricher^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 72| C

Came good in 6f maiden at Wolverhampton last August. 2026 has been a write off so far, although he stopped the slide to an extent on first crack at this trip when sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go on and he now needs to build on that effort.

Distillation³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rose Dawes⁽³⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 67| CD

Landed a second C&D victory in September and ran another cracker on the back of a 12 lb rise when second back here 5 weeks ago, having forced a solid tempo. This is a deeper affair but he's clearly in rude health.

Form: 156212

Forecasts

Two Commanders (11/4), Chantelle (4/1), Distillation (5/1), Montezin (5/1), The Dragon King (10/1), Commander Of Life (12/1), Warm Spell (12/1), Reciprocated (12/1), Enricher (16/1)

TWO COMMANDERS impressed when adding to his tally at Musselburgh 2 starts back and having raced closer to the pace than ideal when fifth at Chester subsequently, he's well worth another chance to prove his present mark a workable one. Chantelle has been shaping up well in handicaps and may emerge next best, ahead of another last-time-out winner, Montezin.
