Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Andrew Crook’s in-forn veteran LADY BABS is taken to bag a fourth victory of the season at the chief expense of the unexposed Arctic Fox who rates a big threat. Quaresome didn’t take to fences at Sedgefield when last seen out but could also have a say now back in this sphere after a break.

EMPTY NEST has really found his feet this season and showed a good attitude when getting up late to score at Newcastle last time so is fancied to defy a 3lb weight rise with that form also having been franked. Top of The Bay has started life well with Sam England but could have to settle for runner-up spot once more, while Yes And Yes and Uncle Mac can both have a say too.

2024: NO CORRESPONDING RACE LASTYEAR
CARTONNE: Following its run on 4/3/2025 it was reported that the horse was found to have bled.
Probable S.P’s: 6-5 Bel Amigo (FR), 9-2 He’s A Diamond (IRE), 13-2 Getaway Frankie (IRE), 15-2 Cartonne (FR), 12-1 Largy Spirit (IRE), 16-1 Berry Edge (IRE), 300-1 Moveonbuy (GB)
BEL AMIGO has proved a different proposition since his breathing operation and can complete a course hat-trick. Last month’s Market Rasen winner He’s A Diamond looks the likeliest danger, although market support for hurdling debutant Getaway Frankie could prove significant.

This is likelyto be run at a good clipwithJETLEGS and HelloJudge both likelyto go forward, as they did when scoring at Hexham and over this C&D respectively last time out. The latter’s form figures in middle-distance chases here reads 112711 and he isn’t passed over lightly However, Jet Legs responded well to the new headgear at Hexham and he looks capable of following up off this 5lb higher mark. Geryville is third choice.

A winner of three of his last four starts, HOMME D’UN SOIR arrives here in top form and a 5lb rise for his latest success at Ludlow is unlikely to stop him in his tracks. Coup de Coeur gets the nod ahead of Clean Getaway for forecast purposes.

JUMPING JUPITER caught the eye doing some good late work on reappearance 19 days ago and makes plenty of appeal stepped up in trip off his last winning mark. Successful on handicap debut, there may well be further progress to come from the lightly-raced George Darling, while Rioja Alta arrives in good heart and should not be underestimated.
