Jubilant⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 115| BF

7/4

Improved when off the mark over hurdles in a Huntingdon handicap (25f) in February. In better form than recent form figures suggest and type to make a chaser (runner-up on his sole outing in Irish points).

Form: 3P1535-

Halondo^p1,t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 113

13/2

Failed to build on earlier promise for Harriet Dickin and fared no better than previously this season on first outing for this yard at Warwick last month. Makes chase debut but plainly not the easiest to assess at present. Headgear on.

Form: 243/P78-

Just Three^t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: J G Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 108

9/1

Fair chaser who was operating below best during second half of last year and again ran disappointingly after 4 months off the last twice. Still a maiden and expected to come up short again.

Form: P9F97-3

Ghost Hunter^p,t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 107| D

11/10

Proved more straightforward in first-time headgear (also wore tongue strap) when off the mark on second chase start at Chepstow last month, left in front after last. This looks a good opportunity to follow up.

Form: 444/3R1-

Forecasts

Ghost Hunter (11/10), Jubilant (7/4), Halondo (13/2), Just Three (9/1)

GHOST HUNTER may have his quirks but he responded well to this headgear when off the mark on his second start for this yard at Chepstow last month and has been found a good opportunity. Jubilant should make a chaser given his size/pointing background and is a clear next best.
