Form & Verdict
Acts on soft; went the wrong way over hurdles; half-brother to his stable's smart chaser Editeur Du Gite and showed clear signs of a revival switched to this sphere at Hereford (runner-up over 2m) last time; good chance provided he builds on that effort and stays the new trip.

Irish 8yo who opened his chase account with a 8l success at Gowran Park (2m4f, heavy) last month; 11lb rise is partly offset by Paddy Hanlon's claim; respected with conditions again favourable.

J: Adam Leahy

T: John Joseph Hanlon

Chase winner last winter; has struggled in two handicap hurdle outings this season and was pulled up in a handicap chase at this venue at Christmas; needs to show some sign of a revival before becoming a betting proposition again; on a positive note, he has a good record at this venue, two wins and three seconds from nine races here.

Form & Verdict
All wins on good/good to soft, the most recent at Musselburgh (2m) in November; let down by his jumping in sole run since; bottom of this pack on last-time-out form and the deep ground is another negative.

All wins on good/good to soft (2m-2m5f); won at Musselburgh in November (2m); pulled up on soft ground in January but posted a better effort back on a more suitable surface when third to a 20l winner here (2m5f, good) this month after a four-month break; should be all the sharper for that and he's back on a good mark; each-way claims.

Acts on heavy; close second over hurdles the last twice, latest effort at Exeter (2m5f) 11 weeks ago; chase record is far from solid but he defied a much higher mark on the first attempt (three years ago); not dismissed.

Arrested decline when third in first-time blinkers at Perth (3m, good) last month but this 12yo remains without a win since 2023 and it's hard to tell whether the new headgear will continue to have a positive effect.

Returned from layoff with quite encouraging C&D fourth (albeit well held in the end) on soft ground last month but is getting long in the tooth and today's faster ground is probably not in his favour; headgear refitted.

Form & Verdict
5lb out of the weights in this field but still has to be feared, having justified favouritism (off effectively 11lb lower) in C&D contest on heavy ground three weeks ago, drawing clear on the run-in; declared 3:32 Lingfield Tuesday.

10st 5lb

J: Ned Fox

T: Harriet Brown

Produced a remarkable late surge to snatch what had looked an unlikely victory at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; blinkers removed) last month but this inconsistent 9yo tends to race lazily nowadays and got going too late when back at Fontwell a fortnight ago; other are much less risky.

12/1

Verdict

Preference is for JUPITER DU GITE, who wasn’t totally fluent at Hereford but could well progress and go one better with that experience under his belt. Parts of his pedigree suggest the new trip is within range. Irish challenger Teescomponentsyess is second choice.[Steve Boow]
