16:35 Fakenham Tips — Monday 6th April 2026

For the 16:35 Fakenham Chase, all roads lead to the progressive Brother Boris (EVS), who looks to have a standout chance here. Lucy Wadham's gelding arrives in truly excellent form, having won last time out in convincing fashion. That recent victory was built on a foundation of remarkable consistency, with the eight-year-old having placed in four of his last five runs – a testament to his reliability and battling qualities.

He boasts the highest Official Rating in the field at 96, marking him out as the class act and seemingly well-handicapped for this contest on Good ground. His upward trajectory and proven form make him a very tough proposition for his rivals to contain. While the EVS price reflects strong market confidence, it is fully justified by a horse who ticks all the right boxes for this assignment. Jockey Mr Cian Murphy also retains a fine partnership.

We're expecting Brother Boris to take this race in his stride and continue his winning ways. For those looking for an alternative or an each-way flutter, Cloudy Wednesday catches the eye. This horse has shown enough to suggest they can be competitive for a place and could offer some value in what should be a competitive chase.
