OUR TIP
Form: 945-41
OR: 100
W: 12st 0lb
Age: 6 yo Gelding
Ex David Brace; travelled strongly, winning readily on second start for this trainer over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good; 5-6 favourite) eight days ago; is due a 9lb rise, but switches to fences for the first time (half-brother to the 2m chase winner Thatza Dazzler) from an unchanged mark; obvious chance.
Form: FP4-87
OR: 98
W: 11st 12lb
Age: 7 yo Gelding
Yet to win (0-12 rules) and his form figures over fences (FP8) aren't convincing; that said; he would have at least made the frame but for a final-fence fall at Thurles (2m2f; soft) in February; badly out of sorts on last two starts, so will need the cheekpieces to revitalise.
Form: 35/7-1 C
OR: 91
W: 11st 5lb
Age: 8 yo Gelding
Knuckled down to get the better of the favourite in a tight finish here (2m6f, good; 7-2) a fortnight ago; that was his first win since his bumper days, so a nominal 3lb rise seems fair; dropping back in trip is unlikely to pose too much of a problem.
Form: 3231-4 CD
OR: 89
W: 11st 3lb
Age: 8 yo Gelding
Market Rasen regular, with three wins, two of those in a visor over fences (2m1f); just did enough to prevail at Catterick (2m; from 2lb lower) in December and looked in need of the comeback run at Cartmel (weakened quickly) 16 days ago; don't discount.
Form: 744-75
OR: 72
W: 10st 2lb
Age: 8 yo Gelding
Sole win from 19 came at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft; from 15lb higher) in February 2024; returns to fences for the first time in a while, after checking out swiftly over hurdles at Hexham (2m; fifth, beaten over 16l) last month; others more obvious.
Form: 86FP-8
OR: 65
W: 10st 2lb
Age: 9 yo Gelding
1-66, that a 150-1 shock at Stratford (3m4f) in April 2024; nearly as many letters as numbers in his form figures since January 2025, tailed off (suffered from heat stress) on return to action at Cartmel three weeks ago; competes from 9lb out of the handicap.

Verdict
Add 148yds. If, and there’s no obvious reason why he shouldn’t, ASK A SAINTE takes to fences, he’s expected to prove tough to beat. The likeliest threat is Get A Superstar. [Mark Rowntree]
