Connections have been patient with Castle Ivers, who hasn't been seen since winning his maiden at Warwick in 2024, with his bumper form standing out ahead of his handicap debut. He is one to watch, but preference is for SECRET FORCE, whose Musselburgh Listed fourth looks the best form, and with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces added here for the first time. Triple Crown Ted and Magna Victor are others to consider.

MARTY MCFLY goes from strength to strength over fences, winning four in a row with the latest of those by three lengths at Carlisle, and another 7lb from the handicapper may not stop him. The Grafter is a big danger as he looks to keep his unbeaten record over the larger obstacles after an easy win at Newcastle. He can enter the reckoning along with Throatlash and C&D winner Ballyfort.

2025: No corresponding race

Forecast: 11/4 Lirion , 4/1 Green Angel , 4/1 Dropematthestation , 9/2 Bohemond Antioch , 5/1 Linalene , 8/1 Penn Avenue , 25/1 Magna Patch , 150/1 Culzean

Last Updated: 19 Apr 2026 15:03:06

Point-to-point winner Dropematthestation has his first start following wind surgery and he could go well if that brings improvement, but he will need to step up to get the better of LIRION. Olly Murphy's gelding was only beaten a short head here in a bumper in February and this looks to be a suitable opportunity on his hurdling debut. Bohemond Antioch was unlucky when unseating last time and may gain some compensation.

Top Tip: Lirion (5)
Watch out for: Dropematthestation (2)

Hoe Joly Smoke has his first start after wind surgery and may well feature for Dan Skelton's yard. Donnacha landed a competitive contest at Cheltenham in January and could have a say in the outcome, but TWINJETS makes most appeal. Paul Nicholls' top weight bounced back with a creditable second at Newbury last month and, given the third has subsequently boosted that form, the son of Jet Away looks set to make another bold bid.

SANILAM goes from strength to strength over timber and won nicely at Musselburgh last month. That was also his handicap debut, so it's plausible to expect further improvement from Sandy Thomson's charge and he looks one to keep on the right side of. Came From Nowhere arrives in fine fettle, having just missed out on a hat-trick when runner-up at Newbury, while last year's winner The Four Sixes is worth a second look off a 5lb lower mark.

Top Tip: Sanilam (6)

ALENTEJO took a big step forward on his second outing for Nicky Henderson, chasing home the smart A Pai De Nom at Newbury, an effort that can be marked up as he reportedly struck into his left-fore leg and lost his left-fore shore. Off the same mark and entitled to improve further, he might be worth chancing in a competitive handicap. Woodland Park has had a frustrating but consistent season to date. Placed in all four starts since returning in November, he is likely to be in the shake-up once again, while Society Soldier and Kent De Thaix are others to keep an eye on.

2025: (13 ran) Summergrounds , Age 9 , Wgt 10-10 , SP 11/1 - Ella McGarry / N G Richards

Forecast: 5/2 Guchen , 7/2 Nice One Eric , 6/1 Travis Wheatley , 6/1 Westoftignes , 12/1 Summergrounds , 12/1 Balboa , 12/1 Kap Boy , 14/1 Thankyouandplease , 16/1 Paso Doble , 16/1 Rickety Gate (Note: non-runner may affect prices)

Last Updated: 19 Apr 2026 15:03:15

Guchen has to be respected following wins at Kempton and Newbury, but his mark has risen a further 10lb and Aamilah Aswat can only claim 3lb today rather than the usual 10lb. That may leave the top-weight vulnerable, and possibly leave the door open for KAP BOY. Olly Murphy's charge faces his easiest task since romping to victory at Perth in October (placed in competitive handicaps at Cheltenham and Kempton since) and similar conditions should bring about another big performance. Irish raider Westoftignes won readily on his first outing for John McConnell at Wexford and is noted, along with Nice One Eric and Thankyouandplease.

Top Tip: Kap Boy (2)
Watch out for: Guchen (1)
