2024: (7 ran) Skyjack Hijack , Age 6 , Wgt 11-0 , SP 6/4 - William Shanahan / J Candlish

Forecast: 7/2 Doc Mccoy , 5/1 Kikijo , 7/1 Lipa K , 8/1 Pounding Poet , 8/1 Ernest Gray , 8/1 Lihyan , 8/1 Heather Honey , 10/1 My Bobby Dazzler , 10/1 Icare Allen , 20/1 Pyramid Place , 25/1 Asa , 66/1 The Jam Man

Last Updated: 15 Dec 2025 13:27:08

Doc McCoy won with ease in this grade at Warwick at the start of the month and may improve for this step up in trip, but a 7lb higher rating asks for a lot more. With that in mind, POUNDING POET gets the vote. Tom Lacey's charge was just touched off into second in a warmer event at Cartmel in August and has Cameron Iles negating his 3lb rise with his claim. With a similar performance, he could be the one to beat. Ernest Gray completes the shortlist.

Top Tip: Pounding Poet (3)
Watch out for: Doc Mccoy (2)

2024: No corresponding race

Forecast: 11/4 Beau Quali , 3/1 Tom Doniphon , 4/1 Spadestep , 9/2 Gentleman Bill , 6/1 Jordans Cross , 10/1 All The Glory

Last Updated: 28 Oct 2025 22:33:27

Beau Quali beat his sole rival on his chasing bow at Warwick last time and the application of first-time cheekpieces might bring out improvement. Even so, point-to-point winner SPADESTEP looks the way to go. The six-year-old struck by five lengths on his return to the fray over the smaller obstacles at Hexham earlier this month and could prove a different proposition over fences. An opening mark of 114 might be on the lenient side. All The Glory is another to note.

Top Tip: Spadestep (6)
Watch out for: Beau Quali (5)

2024: (7 ran) Copperhead , Age 10 , Wgt 10-13 , SP 11/5 - Freddie Gingell / J Tizzard

Forecast: 5/2 Torn And Frayed , 11/4 Le Milos , 6/1 Marown , 7/1 Straw Fan Jack , 7/1 If Not For Dylan , 8/1 Ashtown Lad , 10/1 Numitor (Note: non-runner may affect prices)

Last Updated: 05 Mar 2026 00:25:53

It's difficult to ignore the claims of LE MILOS. Dan Skelton's veteran struck in comfortable style at this level at Fakenham when last seen and is just 3lb higher now. The son of Shirocco goes well fresh and it would be no surprise to see him put these to the sword. A shuddering mistake at the fourth-last cost Torn And Frayed any chance at Chepstow earlier this month but, with a smoother round, he ought to go close. Marown looks best of the rest.

Top Tip: Le Milos (1)
Watch out for: Torn And Frayed (3)

Having posted a respectable fourth on his hurdle bow at Uttoxeter earlier this month, Marsiac should put that experience to good use. The four-year-old cannot be dismissed, but it could be worth taking a punt on one of the newcomers to this discipline, with IN THE AGE topping the bill. Dan Skelton's charge wasn't disgraced when finishing third under a penalty at Southwell in Feburary and a race of this nature looks within his compass. Big Ticket and Tiddesley Wood are others of interest.

IMPERIAL SAINT boasts an impressive record at this venue, with three victories out of four attempts here, and further glory could be imminent. The Saint Des Saints gelding was last seen finishing second over 3m1f at the Aintree Festival and reverting to 2m4f holds no fear. Boombawn finished a respectable fourth in the Manifesto over C&D in April and wasn't disgraced when fifth in the Oaksey at Sandown. The eight-year-old could have a big say in proceedings reverting to handicap company and is feared most, ahead of dual Grade 2 winner Master Chewy.

Top Tip: Imperial Saint (6)

Moonbow hasn't looked back since entering handicap company in August and merits respect in his bid to complete a hat-trick. However, a 10lb hike does demand another career-best performance from Patrick Neville's charge and SERIOUS CHALLENGE could be open to more improvement. Fergal O'Brien's inmate capped off last season with a decent fourth in the Novices' Championship Final at Sandown and there should be more to come on just his second start in handicap company over hurdles. Ace Of Spades boasts a similar profile to the selection and completes the shortlist.

Dotties Promise supplemented a promising third-placed debut at Hexham when opening her account at Kelso last month. Although Susan Corbett's mare should give another bold bid, a 4lb penalty may leave her vulnerable, with preference for newcomer LADY MOTIVATOR. Dan Skelton won this prize with Elle Est Belle in 2020 and this filly boasts plenty of speed in her pedigree which will play to her strengths on a track of this nature. Market support for either Hey Flint or point-to-point winner Edith Pelham would be interesting.

Top Tip: Lady Motivator (7)
