Overround: 114%

Clear form horse with winning CD profile and a workable mark around OR 113. SecEff reads strong — he travels efficiently and sustains it late, which matters in a tactical six-runner claimer. Despite a Below Fair value tag (book tight), he sets the standard for the win.

Strong RPR (123) and a handy weight. Ran like a horse still improving and uses energy efficiently mid-race. Slightly behind Forget The Way on finishing power but still projected 2nd under our SecEff model. Live danger.

Trainer RTF%: 75%

Arrives off a decisive Kempton win and has a low weight here. SecEff shows she cruises rather than grinds, so a softer early pace would help. Solid 3rd pick if the big two underperform.

The Uttoxeter maiden he came from has worked out extremely well. On sectionals he travelled like a proper hurdler, not a flat recruit learning on the job. If he tidies the last two flights he sets the standard.

Point/speed winner with upside. High cruising speed on debut and strong SecEff through the middle of the race. Raw, but talent is obvious. Main danger to Bongo Man.

Won with a bit in hand last time and finds another sharp 2m here. Strong early energy profile but still unproven at this tempo in a deeper field. Serious place player.

J: Kielan Woods
T: Ben Pauling
Trip: 2m7f129y
Trainer RTF%: 58%
Odds: 10/11 (1.91)
Overround: 112%

Brings the deepest chase form and already stays the trip. SecEff suggests he sustains rather than bursts — perfect for 2m7f at Huntingdon. Clear pick to make all or sit handy and control the race.

Reliable mare who keeps finding. Shape of the race should suit her late grind. If Pic Roc underdelivers, she’s the one coming strongly after the last.

Likeable attitude and already a winner at this track. Stays. Her SecEff curve is steady rather than explosive which keeps her in the frame for minor money.

Trip: 2m3f137y
Trainer RTF%: 51%
Odds: 1/2 (1.50)

Made a very promising start over this C&D. Projects to control the race from a handy position and finish strongly. SecEff says she maintains pace better than anything else in the last 3f. Clear favourite.

Trainer in strong form. Showed enough on debut to suggest a step forward. SecEff hints she’ll improve for a more flowing tempo; biggest danger to the fav if she settles early.

T: Gary Hanmer

Battle-hardened and honest. Not as flashy on raw SecEff, but she keeps finding under pressure. Should be staying on for a place, ideal for Placepot coverage.

Course specialist, back on a mark he can win from. Handles Huntingdon’s rhythm and fences. SecEff suggests minimal wasted energy over the first circuit — big edge round here. Leading chance.

Very promising chase debut at Chepstow and clearly still improving. Travels strongly on the figures and looks the progressive one. Main threat to No Risk With Lou.

Trainer RTF%: 118%

Ended last season in form and stays well. SecEff suggests he keeps finding late, so he’s the grinder for the places if the front pair go too hard.

Trainer RTF%: 83%

Won well over C&D after a break and still looks ahead of his mark. Strong SecEff late in the straight suggests there’s more to come despite the 5lb rise.

J: Callum Pritchard
T: Ben Pauling
Trip: 2m3f137y
Trainer RTF%: 58%

Often finds one too good but is genuinely consistent. Travels well for two-thirds of the race and should get a good position again. Rates the main threat.

J: James Bowen
T: Charles & Adam Pogson
Trip: 2m3f137y
Trainer RTF%: 55%
Odds: 11/2 (6.50)
Overround: 127%

Consistent profile and keeps responding under pressure. SecEff says she holds her effort late rather than quickening, which makes her a strong place/each-way style runner in 12-runner handicaps like this.

J: Charlie Price
T: Robbie Llewellyn
Trip: 3m1f10y
Trainer RTF%: 25%
Odds: 13/2 (7.50)
Overround: 138%

Second over this C&D on handicap debut after 200 days off. Stays the trip, finds under pressure, and his SecEff profile over 3m+ is exactly what wins these marathon class 5s. The one they all have to beat.

J: Fern O’Brien
T: Fergal O’Brien
Trip: 3m1f10y
Trainer RTF%: 46%
Odds: 11/2 (6.50)
Overround: 138%

String of placed efforts says the engine is there. SecEff suggests he travels smoothly before flattening slightly late, which suits an each-way/place angle in a field of 17 more than an all-in win bet.

J: Nico de Boinville
T: Nicky Henderson
Trip: 3m1f10y
Trainer RTF%: 42%
Odds: 13/2 (7.50)
Overround: 138%

Well-handicapped if repeating his better staying efforts and now gets a big-field gallop which suits. Expected to be ridden for a late run. Serious frame player.

Four career wins here, including last year’s renewal of this very race. Proven 2m chaser on this track, back on a mark that has previously delivered. His Sectional Effectiveness is ideal for Huntingdon — economical over the first mile, then asks for effort only when others are starting to empty. This is my Nap of the Meeting: track specialist, conditions right, and tactically versatile. Back with confidence.
