Fakenham Race 6 - Sandcliff Cromer 'Grassroots' Maiden Hunters' Chase (For The Turner Trophy)
Nine-year-old MISTER SPLASH (2) bids for a hat-trick following local point-to-point victories over 4800m last month and a 1.5L success tackling 5600m ten days ago. Top chance. ON LOVERS WALK (3) showed a good level of ability under rules in Ireland including a pair of placings at Tramore during 2025. Caught the eye last week when an easy winner over 4000m in a point-to-point. Rates highly. ROYAL CAVE (4) found success by 1L attempting a 4800m point-to-point before a decent fourth two weeks ago. Might feature if providing best form. Fourteen-year-old CHAPELIER (1) brings course experience and is expected to progress second up. Fourth place most likely.

Racing second-up today. Fresh up after 13 months finished third in a small field at Suffolk P2p on April 3 over 4800m, 50 len behind The Big Lense carrying 76kg. Previously second-up finished fourth of 7 runners at Higham on February 9 2025 over 4800m, 31 len behind The Yellow Mini with 76kg. Hard to enthuse despite the small field.
