ALEXTHE GREAT: Following its run on 5/5/2026 it was reported that the horse made a bad mistake.
Probable S.P’s: 13-8 Rebel Tribesman (IRE), 11-4 Mr Rafiki (IRE), 7-2 Royal Rocket (IRE), 12-1 Bathara (FR), 14-1 The Craftymaster (GB), 50-1 Blue’s Secret Gem (IRE), 200-1 Alex The Great (IRE), 250-1 Madmoiselle Moss (GB)
REBEL TRIBESMAN has been turned over at short prices on both his starts over hurdles, but he was unlucky to bump into a high-quality recruit from the Flat on his most recent outing, so he’s well worth another chance. Mr Rafiki and Royal Rocket are the obvious threats.

IL VA DE SOI emerged from a spell in the doldrums when capitalising on a career-low mark over C&D 11 days ago and still well-in old form, a bold follow-up bid could well be on the cards. Taunton scorer Crest of Stars appeals as the type to benefit from this further increase in trip and is feared most. Jimmy Hurdstrom completes the shortlist.

ALLIBABA landed a gamble returning from 18 months off on debut for Adrian Keatley at Market Rasen 12 days ago and, very much appealing as the type who could run up a sequence, all looks set fair for a bold follow-up bid. Louie The Legend and returning Buxted Reel may emerge as the chief dangers.

MOJITO DES MOTTES looked rather unlucky not to make a winning handicap debut at Ascot last time and can gain compensation with Harry Cobden taking the reins now. Fellow unexposed sort Unjeu Royal rates an obvious threat on the back of his handicap success at Plumpton. Brendas Asking made a good return from a year off when third at Haydock last month and may prove best of the remainder
