2:45 Huntingdon Tips

Went a modest second when sent off favourite in a Class 2 over further at Market Rasen last time out. Eased a pound in the ratings and drops down to Class 3 to leave every chance of going one better.

Icare Grandchamp won at Plumpton 20 days ago and could follow up at Huntingdon. Raised only four pounds but bottom weight here in a better race.

Consistent Class 3 performer. While not a massive value play, he provides the highest 'floor' for an EW return in this field.

Westerninthepark is an 8yo gelding trained by Olly Murphy and ridden by Sean Bowen. He hasn't been in the best of form of late but has been tumbling down the weights and runs today off 125. He has largely been campaigning over 2m 6f and further, but he's dropped down to 2m 4f for the first time since December 2024, where he was sent off 11-10f in a Class 2 handicap chase to get the better of Imperial Saint (137) and Richmond Lake (142) in a much better race than today's offering. His form in handicap chases over 2m 4f is 1-2-3, and he posted a career-high RPR of 135 when finishing runner-up at Cheltenham under today’s jockey Sean Bowen on good ground. He's on a good mark, and today's drop in trip could help rekindle some of his promising early form.

Lounge Lizard likes to lead or be very close to the front. He's a temperamental horse who performs at his best when he's in control from the start. He's had wind-op surgery since his last race, which could address his stamina issues. He's a Class 3 horse and won this same race in 2024 and 2025. Tom Cannon rides for Sarah Humphrey. Humphrey has a remarkable record at Huntingdon, with a return of +38.13 pounds for every pound bet on chases. He was pulled up in his last start in November, but his 2-for-2 record at this track and distance makes him a serious threat if he regains his form after the break.
