Aintree

Tomorrow, May 16, 2025HurdleClass 22m4f

Competitive despite the small field with IKE SPORT put forward as the suggestion. He ran well when fifth in a big-field handicap at the National Meeting on his penultimate start and backed that up with a solid fourth at Sandown 3 weeks ago. Operating from a handy mark, he can come out on top, with Perth scorer Rambo T and Aucunrisque just a couple of potential threats.

    Verdict
    Gained a first success since his 2023 Betfair Hurdle win when landing a decent 2m Ascot handicap in November. Failed to fire next 3 starts but backed up a good second over hurdles when third in Sussex Champion Chase at Plumpton (17f) 25 days ago. Respected returned to timber.

    Verdict
    66/1 winner of this race from 3 lb lower mark 12 months ago and back on scoresheet at Kempton (21f) in November. However, essentially out of sorts in 4 starts since and refitting of a hood (applied for all career victories) needs to spark a revival.

    Verdict
    Had a very good 2023/24 season, winning 3 of his 6 starts. Not got his head in front since but he ran well when fifth in big-field handicap at the National Meeting prior to a creditable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Sandown (19.8f) 20 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Fancied to feature.

    Verdict
    Produced a fluent round of jumping from the front when regaining winning thread at Newcastle (20.3f) in March and matched that level from 5 lb higher mark when runner-up at Kelso (20.9f) 24 days ago, edged out close home. Likely to give his best again from the front.

    Verdict
    Dual winner in juvenile hurdles and much improved sent chasing, winning first 3 starts towards end of 2023. Struggled in trio of starts last year but firm step back in right direction after 4 months off when midfield in 16-runner Cheltenham handicap 4 weeks ago. Not ruled out back up in trip.
