3rd Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Mixed form over hurdles last year and tailed off at Chepstow over Christmas when last seen; however, he showed some spark earlier in December and he won hunter chases in February 2022 (2m7f/3m2f, heavy/soft) on his last two runs over fences; capable of having a big say. |
4/1 |

27th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
11st 3lb

Led in the final stride at Sandown (2m7f, soft; acts on heavy) on reappearance last term; went downhill since until a change to this headgear back in the same Sandown race 18 days ago was his best performance since New Year's Day, so there is renewed hope. |
10/1 |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 98y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Led in the final stride in this race (soft; acts on heavy) on reappearance last term; has an 8lb lower mark this time round, having gone downhill after that win and he was tailed off at Newbury one month ago; first-time blinkers replace his usual cheekpieces. |

14th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins and two seconds from his five races for current yard; both the wins were at Newbury, including in clearcut style from Kyntara on heavy going last time out; back up another 5lb but he was fourth in the Grade 1 Stayers' on his only visit to the Festival, admittedly in 2020, but a case can be made for this resurgent 10yo. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Placed twice (once over C&D) for Ralph Smith when cheekpieces were refitted this summer and has claims if judged on those efforts, but needs to rebound from last month's underwhelming stable debut. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Hasn't won for ages but twice placed this summer (2m7f/2m6f) for Ralph Smith and can go well again off this mark provided another change of stable doesn't rock the boat. |
7/1 |

2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Returned from break with two fairly respectable runs towards the end of last season (2m3f/2m4f) and another when third over 2m7f in the refitted cheekpieces at Worcester one month ago; not the force of old and has not won since 2021 but has place claims. |

Two wins over hurdles for previous yard; early faller at Aintree in November switched to fences for new stable and is best watched in this warm race. |

Verdict
All five are feasible winners off their current marks. EQUINUS (nap) was up and down last season but he’s a major player off this mark on the best of his form and this second-season hurdler no doubt has more to offer. He returns with this yard bouncing. Bear Ghylls has plenty in his favour if he can get back on track following wind surgery and he’s feared most, followed by Art Approval.[Alistair Jones]
