26th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Very inconsistent and pulled up last time; however, he stayed on well for second in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) two starts ago and is well worth a go at this new trip; a possible. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Career-best form came here in December when scoring over 3m2f (good to soft); hasn't really approached that level since, in cheekpieces and blinkers (new) the last twice. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Posted career-best effort when scoring at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) in December but two laboured efforts have followed this year; wore refitted cheekpieces last time; first-time blinkers are given a whirl here. |
9/1 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
3-15 over hurdles, latest win at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; below form on latest outing, though, and needs to bounce back with career-best effort here; cheekpieces (absent this term) are refitted. |

31st Mar 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Smart chaser in his prime; on the downgrade now and has rather mixed record over hurdles this season but lurks on a very tempting mark and ought to handle today's ground well; will be very dangerous if perked up by first-time blinkers. |

11th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
French hurdle/chase winner who is one to watch in the betting on his third stable start, but he's struggled over fences/hurdles on his first two runs in Britain and a major turnaround is required. |

6th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Below her best on last three appearances, though a reluctance to settle (often the case) was never going to help when upped to nearly 3m the last time; she did win at Fakenham in November (7lb lower) on her last race at about this trip and heavy ground is fine. |

Verdict
Provided wind surgery has the desired effect, class-dropper BEAR GHYLLS could well take advantage of a handy mark and record a first success since his useful novice campaign. Benassi (second choice) and Benign Dictator give Olly Murphy a robust hand.[Steve Boow]
