12st 1lb |
Pulled-up over fences in October on reappearance and pretty much tailed off on a belated return to hurdles at Aintree the following month; both those were on good ground, whereas he's probably a better horse on soft; down the weights in first-time cheekpieces and he's interesting. |

Bounced back from a disappointing run and looked as good as ever when close second at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) last month; may not have much margin for error off today's 2lb higher mark but can still make his presence felt. |

Third in the Imperial Cup (2m, soft) last March and, after a wind op, he showed improved form to win at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; readily accounted for some progressive rivals last time and an 8lb rise may not stop him, provided he stays; he was very strong at the finish at Newbury. |

Very productive in his early days, scoring five times; inconsistent since but ran encouragingly in first-time cheekpieces at Newbury (2m4f) most recently and may build on that effort; back on last winning mark and has possibilities in the retained headgear. |

12yo who isn't as good as he was but he's handicapped accordingly and stayed on for a promising sixth at Haydock (2m3f, soft) in November on his second start back from a long absence; suited by the step back up to 2m7f when 1l third at Chepstow (soft) last month and could be bang there once more. |

Second in a Listed juvenile hurdle (heavy) before winning at Chepstow (good to soft); took a good hold and raced prominently when third next time, but more patient tactics were adopted when raised to this trip for handicap debut at Haydock (soft) and ran well to be third in a valuable race; raised 3lb but has more in the locker. |

Lightly raced 7yo who was progressive in handicaps last season, winning twice (1m7f/2m4f, good to soft/soft), and he shaped as though he needed the run on October's reappearance in a hot handicap at Chepstow; has hinted that 3m will be within range and he could still have more to offer. |

Ran well on first four starts last season, latterly over an extended 2m7f, and she was back to that peak form when winning in clearcut style at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) six weeks ago under claimer Chad Bament; respected even though she's up 5lb and may well need a career best. |

Verdict
Further wind surgery has evidently helped JIPCOT, who could well build on his emphatic Newbury success and show further improvement for his new stable. Beat The Bat (second choice) is a solid danger, while Knight Of Allen, Kamsinas and Punta Del Este tie in with the Fry runner and must enter calculations. Last year’s third Impose Toi is also in the mix, while Il Va De Soi and Spirit d’Aunou are interesting in retained cheekpieces.[Steve Boow]
