Last Updated: 08 Nov 2025 23:51:57

Ruth Jefferson trained the last two winners of this race and, with that in mind, her point-to-point recruit Country Code is high on the shortlist. Walks The Talk, a winner between the flags, landed a mares' maiden hurdle at Roscommon last time and could improve further now she steps up in trip. However, it could be a good move keeping SCARLET JET in novice company after a ready success at Perth when last seen and he gets the nod.

2024: (6 ran) Gold Des Bois , Age 10 , Wgt 11-12 , SP 9/4 - Ryan Mania / A M Thomson

Forecast: 5/4 Heads Or Harps , 9/4 Coup De Coeur , 15/2 Grain D'oudairies , 10/1 Treaty Boy , 12/1 Bois Guillbert , 16/1 Chumlee , 20/1 Carcaci Castle

Last Updated: 08 Nov 2025 23:51:57

The Lucinda Russell yard sent out three winners of this race between 2016 and 2023 and it could be business as usual for the dual Grand National-winning handler and co-trainer Michael Scudamore if HEADS OR HARPS resumes with the same zest as when he got off the mark over fences at Ayr. A 12lb rise for that facile success complicates matters and creates hope for the likes of Coup De Coeur and Grain D'oudairies, who both have convincing chase form on their portfolios.

Top Tip: Heads Or Harps (4)
Watch out for: Coup De Coeur (1)

Tees Comp's Clive attracted plenty of attention in the betting when fourth at Wetherby and the market reaction will be noteworthy now he goes with cheekpieces added. Support for Trailblazer and the returning Better Be Definite can also be justified based on the pick of their back form. However, it could be worth taking a chance on the low-mileage GONNINO, who has shown some promise during his four previous starts over hurdles and stepping up in trip could now be highly beneficial.

MYSTICAL MARTIKA ran her best race so far over hurdles when fourth at Hexham on her return to action and her unexposed profile makes her appeal most in a contest where the majority of her rivals have something to prove. Rickety Gate placed at Carlisle last month and is respected off the same mark, while Leader Wing completes the shortlist.

The Navigator has found a new lease of life in recent months and arrives in search of a C&D hat-trick. The veteran deserves plenty of respect, but may prove vulnerable to a less-exposed type in the shape of ROCHEVAL. The five-year-old wasn't disgraced in finishing sixth at the Punchestown Festival in April and he is expected to have more to offer this campaign. Cannock Park, Joecooker and Wolfspear are others for the shortlist.

Last Updated: 15 Dec 2025 13:28:06

Dare To Shout made a successful return to the fray at Carlisle last month and holds an obvious chance, but the vote goes to NED TANNER. The nine-year-old was last seen finishing fourth in a warmer event at Ayr and is a two-time C&D winner. If ready to go, he could prove a tough nut to crack. Walk On Quest also likes it around here and is another to watch out for.

Top Tip: Ned Tanner (8)
Watch out for: Dare To Shout (1)

SIR CARNEGIE readily justified favouritism in this grade at Newcastle last week and now has a 7lb higher rating to contend with. Considering the manner of that victory, the five-year-old appears the one to beat again. Wearelongterm made the frame at this circuit on his most recent start and should remain competitive off an unchanged mark. Of the rest, Auchinlek makes the most appeal.

Top Tip: Sir Carnegie (1)
Watch out for: Wearelongterm (7)
