TrackLab Insight
The market favourite and the horse in the best recent form — he won at Chepstow just 26 days ago and finished second the time before that. He matches Ice In The Veins for career win rate at roughly 1 in 3, but the concern is that Huntingdon is a right-handed, galloping-style track, and he has won only once from eight attempts on that type of course.
Market favourite (3.8)
TrackLab Insight
The youngest horse in the field at six, with the best career win rate of any runner here — winning roughly 1 in every 3 races. However, his last three outings have been poor, finishing 9th, 7th and 4th, so he needs to rediscover the spark that earned him back-to-back wins earlier in his career. His trainer Dan Skelton is in sharp form right now, sending out 5 winners from 12 races in the last two weeks, which is worth noting.

TrackLab Insight
The standout course specialist in this field — three wins from just six races at Huntingdon, including a win over this exact course and distance. He arrives here having finished second in his last two races, beaten less than a length combined, so the form is rock solid. At nine years old and the most experienced horse in the field with 33 races under his belt, he knows exactly what he's doing here.

TrackLab Insight
A 10-year-old who has won here before, but his recent form makes for grim reading — pulled up twice and beaten 20-plus lengths in his last three races. Today's normal conditions suit him on paper (he wins roughly 1 in 3 on this type of ground), but he has to show he's bounced back before punters get excited.

Trainer Quotes
Dec 2025
"It was a really nice run when he was second at Doncaster on his seasonal reappearance at the end of last month. His jumping really stood out against the less experienced horses. He probably just needed the run. He's come out of that very well and we're half-looking at a race back at Doncaster on Saturday. He's a good-ground horse, so it'll be Doncaster, Kempton or Ludlow - one of those good-ground tracks - where we'll be going next. 10-12-25"
TrackLab Insight
Hard to get excited about on recent form — he has fallen, pulled up, and pulled up again in his last three races. One win from eight career races tells its own story, and at a track and trip that are relatively unfamiliar to him, he faces a stiff task. Sean Bowen is a quality jockey who has ridden three winners in the last two weeks, but he needs a lot more from this horse than it has shown lately.

Trainer Quotes
Jan 2026
"A winning hurdler who has gone chasing this season. Unfortunately, he had to be pulled up at Newbury and needed some physio afterwards, but he'll be back in the spring, if not before. He's an athletic sort, the type to improve significantly. I'm expecting him to come to the fore next season. 07-01-26"

"He was always going to be a better chaser than hurdler, and he jumped really nicely on his chase debut last month. He's a two-miler with loads of scope and we might look at something at the Coral Gold Cup meeting. He's off 119 and I'd be very surprised if he's not well above that come the end of the season. Physically, he's not the finished article and, if we mind him, he should be progressive. 23-11-25"
TrackLab Insight
He carries the lowest weight in the field, which is a real advantage in a race like this, and crucially he won right here at Huntingdon just 57 days ago over this exact course and distance. That makes him one of only two proven course-and-distance winners in the race alongside William Cody, and at a bigger price, he looks an interesting alternative to the more fancied runners.

How do odds work?
The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
