Kingston Narcissus
Nobody is better at targeting the big handicaps than Dan Skelton, who no doubt had this race in mind when purchasing KINGSTON NARCISSUS in May. The 7-y-o posted good runner-up efforts for his new yard last month and can resume winning ways. Harry Cobden has been the go to man in this of late and his presence in the saddle on Soul Icon suggests the 2024 runner-up could be primed for another bold bid. Next on the list is Queensbury Boy for a yard with a strong record in this race.

Ended his time for Rebecca Menzies with a clear-cut success on chasing debut at Hexham (2½m, good) in May. Has shown ever better form when runner-up on both starts for Dan Skelton and will be winning for this excellent yard soon. Has cheekpieces combined with his tongue tie for the first time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosUttoxeter1m 7f 214yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase2/6Worcester2m 4fGoodChase2/3Hexham2m 4f 15yGoodChase1/5Kelso2m 4f 189yGood to SoftHurdle11/14Catterick Bridge2m 3f 66ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle7/8- 2Soul IconJ: Harry CobdenT: Keiran Burke9/U45B-Age 99/29/25/1

Second in this in 2024 and also won Grade 2 handicap at Kempton (2m) under Harry Cobden in Christmas of that year. Respectable efforts on both completed starts in a light campaign last season. The return to the saddle of Cobden, who is seeking a fourth successive win in this race, catches the eye.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAintree2m 5f 19yGood to SoftChasebd/27Kempton Park3mGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase5/13Kempton Park3mGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/5Wincanton3m 1f 30yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chaseur/7Aintree2m 5f 19yGood to SoftChase9/30- 5Breizh RiverJ: Harry ReedT: Tristan Davidson251-321Age 86/15/111/2

Gained a third win since joining Tristan Davidson at the start of the year with a battling display at Cartmel (21f, good to soft) 20 days ago.

Walked over for first chase success at Hereford in May. Followed it with good second of 4 at Uttoxeter (2½m) in May. Made a bad early mistake and did well to get briefly involved in the competitive Summer Cup back there since. First-time cheekpieces join regular tongue tie.

Took well to chasing in first half of last season, winning 3 times. Back on form when 9 lengths second of 7 over C&D (good) 5 weeks but jockey bookings would suggest he's the stable third string.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMarket Rasen2m 5f 89yGoodChase2/7Stratford-on-avon2m 6f 125yGood to Firm (Good in places)Chasepu/6Perth2m 4f 20yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase6/7Hexham2m 4f 15yGoodChase4/5Perth2m 4f 20yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/4- 1Mahons GloryJ: Lee EdwardsT: Dylan Cunha52164-1Age 1011/111/110/1

Huntingdon winner in March.

Proved better than ever when notching a fourth chase success in a 5-runner event at Fakenham (21f, good to firm) in May. Creditable second of 4 at Stratford since (23f, good to firm) but he found less than looked likely.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosStratford-on-avon2m 6f 125yGood to Firm (Good in places)Chase2/4Fakenham2m 5f 44yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase1/5Uttoxeter2m 4f 189yGoodChase3/8Newton Abbot2m 4f 216yGoodChase4/6Wincanton2m 4f 35yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase1/6- 6Pour Les FillesJ: Sean BowenT: Mickey Bowen1P50-33Age 812/112/111/1

Won at the first time of asking over fences at Ffos Las in January. Struggled on next 3 starts but back on form when third at Cartmel in recent months, latterly to Breizh River 3 weeks ago. Whether he jumps and travels well enough for the demands of a big-field handicap is another matter.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCartmel2m 5f 34yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/6Cartmel2m 5f 34yGoodChase3/5Aintree2m 5f 19yGood to SoftChase15/27Ayr2m 4f 110ySoftChase5/6Newbury2m 7f 91yHeavy (Soft in places)Chasepu/10- 8Baltic BirdJ: Patrick Michael O'BrienT: William Durkan, Ireland4037-36Age 716/112/114/1

Ended 2025 with success at Sligo in October. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Punchestown (2½m) on his return at the end of April but has run poorly at Kilbeggan since.
