Hurricane Bay 12 days

J: Tom Cannon

T: Lucy Wadham

Form: P55-1P DBF

OR: 122

W: 12st 2lb

Age: 10 yo Gelding

Form

Not particularly consistent but won at Huntingdon early last month (2m4f, good) and would have a chance on that form; however, pulled up when favourite at Fakenham last time having reportedly made a respiratory noise.

King Roly 26 days

J: Sean Bowen

T: Mickey Bowen

Form: 2146-P

OR: 121

W: 12st 1lb

Age: 7 yo Gelding

Form

Three wins at around 2m4f on good ground in the first half of last season; hasn't recaptured his form after a winter break, last time pulling up at Stratford after jumping right; this track should suit him better.

1 tip

Fringill Dike 28 days

J: Sean Quinlan

T: Jedd O’Keeffe

Form: 5544-6

OR: 120

W: 12st 0lb

Age: 9 yo Gelding

Form

All eight jump wins have been at around 2m; lost his chance by jumping right when stepped up to 2m4f at Aintree last time (finished a well-beaten sixth); will be better going right-handed; 21lb lower than for his last win (August 2024) and stable in form, but a bit to prove.

Maximum Offers 38 days

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Jamie Snowden

Form: 3431-1

OR: 115

W: 11st 9lb

Age: 7 yo Gelding

Form

Has won two small-field chases over 3m1f on good ground at Hereford since returning from a winter break and being tried in cheekpieces; up 7lb; down in trip but a contender.

1 tip

Doyouknowwhatimean 41 days

J: Kevin Brogan

T: Gary Hanmer

Form: PP4P-P

OR: 112

W: 11st 6lb

Age: 9 yo Gelding

Form

Creditable 14l fourth at Bangor in March (2m4f, good); pulled up on next two starts and had been pulled up on his two starts before that run, so is hard to fancy.

Okavango Delta 26 days

J: Callum Bewley

T: Paul Robson

Form: 4526-P

OR: 106

W: 11st 0lb

Age: 10 yo Gelding

Form

Won twice in 2025, at Musselburgh in January (2m4f, soft) and at Worcester in May (2m4f, good); hasn't done as well since and was pulled up at Stratford last time; could bounce back

Wudya 20 days

J: Danny McMenamin

T: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith

Form: 104P-4

OR: 105

W: 10st 13lb

Age: 7 yo Mare

Form

Winner over hurdles off a 3lb higher mark at Bangor last July (2m3f, good); not disgraced when 20l fourth on same track after a break on chase debut last month (2m3f, good); should improve for that run and one to consider.

Betting Forecast

6/1 Hurricane Bay, 6/1 King Roly, 5/1 Fringill Dike, 6/4 Maximum Offers, 14/1 Doyouknowwhatimean, 12/1 Okavango Delta, 5/1 Wudya

Verdict

Add 215 yards. Quite a trappy race as the likes of Hurricane Bay and Doyouknowwhatimean would have a chance on their best form but are far from reliable. After winning his last two races Maximum Offers is an obvious contender, but the vote goes to WUDYA who should improve on last month’s chase debut at Bangor.[Colin Russell]
