6/4

Won over shorter here last month and good second at Southwell next time, tending to jump right. Gone up another 5 lb but could go well again back up at 3m.

Form: 4PP-412

Athair Mor²²⁰

10/1

Green and well held in bumper and novice/maiden hurdles last season. Quick switch to chasing up in trip on return. Retains potential and one to keep an eye on.

Reflection Of You^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Alan Doyle⁽³⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 87| D

6/1

Point/course bumper winner who has made a promising start over fences in 2 handicaps over shorter here, still going sweetly in second when all but came down 5 out in race won by Heaven Smart 4 weeks ago. Worth another chance up in trip.

Form: 3575-35

Burgundy Man²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: R P McLernon| T: R M Smith| OR: 87

7/2

Modest maiden handicap hurdler, placed all 6 starts in 2025/26, including over 3m here fitted with blinkers (headgear now left off) 4 weeks ago. Interesting to see if he takes to the larger obstacles.

Forecasts

Heaven Smart (6/4), Burgundy Man (7/2), Thehairyfella (5/1), Reflection Of You (6/1), Everyday Champagne (6/1), Auchinlek (10/1), Athair Mor (10/1), Uptown Harry (28/1)

REFLECTION OF YOU can pick up a race like this if jumping better and could be worth chancing stepped up to 3m. Old rival Heaven Smart remains in form and can go well again, while Auchinlek is one to note now going chasing on his return.
